Hilton Marks 888th Hotel with Waldorf Astoria Shanghai Launch

Hilton has hit a major milestone with the opening of Waldorf Astoria Shanghai Qiantan, its 888th hotel in Greater China and Mongolia.

This luxurious new property in Shanghai’s lively Qiantan District in Pudong cements Hilton’s strong presence in one of the world’s most exciting hospitality markets.

Since opening its first hotel in mainland China in 1988, Hilton has grown rapidly, increasing its room count nearly ten times in the last 12 years. The Waldorf Astoria Shanghai Qiantan, located along Shanghai’s new Bund, offers 204 spacious rooms and suites, each at least 52 square meters, with stunning river views and private balconies.

Guests can enjoy top-notch dining, including Arame’s Mediterranean-inspired dishes, Fu Cheng’s Michelin-starred Min cuisine by chef Justin Yang, the Starlight Room’s exclusive chef’s table, and the iconic Peacock Alley for special gatherings.
