Rambagh Palace A TAJ Hotel

Since the Fifties this splendid, sprawling palace has been at the top of Jaipur’s luxury hotel market. Rambagh Palace began its life as a guest house for Rajasthan’s royals, and the more things change, the more they stay the same — it’s a part of the Taj hotel group now, and is more or less a gue...

Red Capital Ranch

Just as the Red Capital Residence fondly recalls a bygone era of revolutionary Communist kitsch, the Red Capital Ranch, in the countryside outside of Beijing, is an homage to an earlier time. In this case a fantasy that predates the Revolution — this place, currently billing itself as China’s fir...

SALA Phuket Resort And Spa

It says something good about the robustness of Phuket’s tourist economy that even now, new hotels are continuing to open there. Sala Phuket, at Mai Khao in the island’s northwest, is a Thai beach resort in the modern mold: some seventy-nine airy loft-style modernist units strung along the coast, ...

Samode Palace

As Indian royal fantasies go, it doesn’t get much more classic than this. The Samode Palace, in the rocky hills an hour or so from Jaipur, appears more or less unchanged over the course of its four-hundred-year life — in its new life as a luxury hotel, even the modern additions, such as they are,...

Shangri-La Harbin

First-time visitors to Harbin might find themselves checking maps to see if this is really China. The distinctly Russian-style architecture (not to mention the wintertime Siberian winds) give the city a distinctly Northern European flavor. And the Shangri-La, the city’s top luxury hotel, follows ...

Shangri-La Hotel Chengdu

Chengdu, the capital of China’s Sichuan province, is perhaps less familiar to foreign visitors than places like Beijing or Shanghai. But in an increasingly global world, first-class business hotels like the Shangri-La are needed everywhere, not least in the high-tech industrial center of southwes...

Shangri-La Hotel Jakarta

In Asia, the Shangri-La name connotes a certain kind of utterly maximal hotel, a strong measure of traditional opulence, along with a grand scale that can easily seem intimidating, especially to Westerners who have grown accustomed to 40-room boutiques and intimate country inns. Never fear; this ...

Shangri-La Hotel Singapore

Singapore boasts an astonishing density of impressive hotels; among the best in town for three decades has been the Shangri-La. Don’t let that number scare you; though — there’s little that’s identifiably Seventies about this place, as a thorough renovation has turned...

Shangri-La Hotel Tokyo

Whether the Tokyo hotel market is crowded with high-end lodgings or merely presents a wealth of upscale choices is perhaps a matter of perspective. But whatever the challenges hoteliers face, it’s a great time to be a guest; Tokyo is arguably already the luxury-hotel capital of the world, and new...

Shangri-La Hotel, Bangkok

When it comes to top-flight luxury on a massive scale, the Far East is where it’s at — Europe and the Americas have no shortage of impressive accommodations, and even their own chapters of the big Asian franchises, but in terms of sheer luxury overkill, there’s nothing in the West tha...

Shangri-La Hotel, Beijing

The palatial megahotels of the Far East are renowned for their state-of-the-art facilities and for their almost absurdly high standard of service — the best hotels in Bangkok, Singapore and Hong Kong provide an experience so over-the-top as to make the finest Western hotels look like roadside mot...

Shangri-La Hotel, Suzhou

Suzhou may be best known for its thousand-year heritage, and the innumerable gardens, temples and bridges. But that’s the postcard Suzhou — the Shangri-La Hotel is aimed at a different audience entirely, an audience of savvy international business travelers, in town not for the picturesque garden...

Shangri-La New Delhi

In New Delhi they already know a thing or two about business-oriented luxury hotels. But there’s room for a perspective from abroad as well, in the form of the Hong Kong–based Shangri-La group. This 320-room high-rise in Delhi’s government district is as comfortable, as opulent, as any of the col...

Shangri-La's Boracay Resort And Spa

They’re internationally known for their big-city resorts, but Shangri-La can do remote island escapes with the best of them. Shangri-La’s Boracay Resort & Spa is proof of that — nestled into a lush green hillside, overlooking a pristine beach, surrounded by an a nature reserve on an island tw...

Shiv Niwas Palace

An old-world Indian classic, Shiv Niwas stands within the walls of Udaipur’s City Palace — once a guest house for royal visitors, today it’s a different sort of guest house, a small hotel (thirty-six rooms and suites) that’s nonetheless very big on luxury. Here it&#82...

Sofitel Metropole Hanoi

The Sofitel Metropole Hanoi is currently undergoing construction work between 8:00 and 19:00 but will remain open to guests. This is simply the place to stay in Hanoi. The hotel itself dates back to 1901, to the French colonial days, and it shows in every detail....
