What’s New At Shangri-La?
Estimated reading time: 13 minutes
Did you know the word Shangri-La originated from the pages of James Hilton’s 1930s novel Lost Horizon? It is an inspiring tale of life imitating art, and it is where an unspoiled paradise, unlike anything anyone had ever experienced on earth before this hotel was discovered. The first Shangri-La hotel opened in Singapore in 1971 and marked the start of a new standard for hotel excellence. It is was a drastic change and redefined what it meant to be “a true host”.
Hotel Shangri-La has developed a reputation for being a brand that puts ‘care from the heart’ at the core of its hospitality experience. Over 85 hotels and resorts extend that original Shangri-La experience across the Asia Pacific, North America, Middle East, and Europe. At Northstar, we aim to connect you with your beloved Shangri-La hotels from around the globe.
There’s no greater act of hospitality than to embrace a stranger as one’s own. It’s in our nature.
