US-based Handel Architects is the design architect of the Shangri-La at the Fort, while GF and Partners Architects Co. is the architect of record. Manny Samson and Associates were the interior designers of the building.[7]
Construction
The groundbreaking for the building took place on July 3, 2008, in a ceremony led by then-Philippine President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo,[8] though construction began in 2011. The hotel had a soft opening on March 1, 2016.[9]

The Shangri-La Hotel at the Fort hosts 576 rooms and suites as of August 2017, with each room at least 45 m2 (480 sq ft) big.[10]
Residential
The building has two designated residential areas, namely Horizon Homes and Shangri-La Residences. The 98 units in Horizon Homes, which are privately owned, occupy the upper levels of the tower. Ranging from 90 to 239 m2 (970 to 2,570 sq ft), 97 units are allocated for Shangri-La Residence.[7]
