Shangri-La Hotel, Singapore

Shangri-La Hotel, Singapore is a five-star deluxe hotel located on Orange Grove Road, off Orchard Road, in Singapore.^[1]

Opened on 23 April 1971, the hotel is Shangri-La Hotels and Resorts' first hotel property.^[2] The hotel has 792 guestrooms and suites,^[3] as well as 127 serviced apartments, which require a minimum stay of six nights to be booked, along with 55 condominium units which necessitate longer stays of at least three months.^[4][5]

The hotel hosts the annual meeting of the Shangri-La Dialogue,^[6] described by the International Institute of Strategic Studies as "Asia's premier defence summit".^[7] In 2015, the hotel was the venue for a historic meeting between the People's Republic of China's paramount leader Xi Jinping and the Republic of China's President Ma Ying-jeou; this was the first meeting between the leaders of Mainland China and Taiwan since the 1949 Chinese Communist Revolution.^[8]

Tower Wing

The Tower Wing, which opened in 1971, is the hotel's main wing; it houses the deluxe rooms, executive rooms, Horizon Club rooms, and Horizon Premier Suite.^[9] Additionally, the majority of the dining outlets in the hotel are located in the Tower Wing.

Garden Wing

The Garden Wing, located within the hotel's 15 acres of landscaped gardens, opened in 1978. It houses 158 guestrooms and suites, all of which are fitted with balconies.^[10]

In 2011, the Garden Wing closed for renovation and reopened on 31 May 2012^[10] after eight months of renovation which cost S$68 million.

Valley Wing

The Valley Wing was the last of the hotel's three wings to be completed, opening in 1985. Shangri-La Singapore describes it as "the accommodation of choice" for heads of states, business executives, and luxury travellers.^[11]

The summit has been held at the Shangri-La Hotel since 2002.
