InterContinental Hotels Group, which has taken over management of the former Four Seasons Hotel Pudong in Lujiazui, Shanghai, China, is reopening the property as the Regent Shanghai Pudong on May 16.
Expanding its luxury footprint, IHG announced the acquisition of a majority stake in Regent Hotels & Resorts in March of 2018. Regent Shanghai Pudong is the first Regent hotel opened globally after the acquisition.
Meanwhile, renovation is already underway to rebrand the iconic InterContinental Hong Kong into a Regent hotel in 2021, bringing the hotel back to its roots as it first opened its doors as a Regent in 1980. In addition, the brand is also expecting new openings in Phu Quoc, Vietnam later this year, Bali, Indonesia in 2021, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia as well as Chengdu, China in 2023.
“Welcoming Regent Shanghai Pudong to the Regent family represents a significant milestone for the brand not only in Greater China but also in the world. Since acquisition we have been committed to making the brand a real leader within luxury hospitality and taking it to the world’s best destinations. We are excited to team up with Shanghai 21st Century Hotel Co., Ltd., our long-term strategic partner, to bring Regent to Shanghai in such a prime location. We look forward to working closely with the owner to proudly bring Regent hallmarks to life in the hotel,” says Justin Channe, managing director, Regent Hotels & Resorts, IHG, in a statement.
