“The opening of Grand Hyatt Shenyang expands our brand presence in China
and supports our development strategy of building in key gateway cities
and markets where our guests are traveling,” said Christopher Koehler,
vice president of operations, China, Hyatt Hotels & Resorts. “It is a
great honor for us to collaborate again with China Resources to open
another property after the success of Grand Hyatt Shenzhen. By combining
modernity and residential comfort with our distinctive world-class
facilities and services, we believe that our newest addition to the
Grand Hyatt portfolio will help redefine the standard for hotels in
Shenyang.”
Occupying a newly built 29-story tower, Grand Hyatt Shenyang is
strategically located on the prestigious Qingnian Avenue (known as the
“Golden Corridor”) which is the main downtown commercial thoroughfare of
Shenyang, offering first-class, engaging service to accommodate a
growing number of Chinese and international visitors. The hotel provides
direct access to the world-class MixC luxury retail mall and is
conveniently situated near a majority of both corporate headquarters and
premier residential buildings. The hotel also has convenient access to
the Shenyang Taoxian International Airport and other transportation
junctions.
“We are delighted to bring Hyatt’s world-renowned authentic hospitality
and top-class facilities to Northeast China, which is a new part of the
country for our brand,” said Stephan Tschuppik, general manager of Grand
Hyatt Shenyang. “Grand Hyatt hotels around the world are traditionally
known to be quite bold and dramatic, and Grand Hyatt Shenyang is no
exception. We hope to exceed guest expectations in every way – from
dining, to our sky-high city views, to our meeting capabilities. We look
forward to introducing Grand Hyatt to this wonderful and vibrant city.”
Design
Grand Hyatt Shenyang’s public areas and guestrooms were designed
by Hirsch Bedner Associates (HBA), a global leader in the hospitality
interior design industry since 1965. The hotel design blends elements
and motifs from ancient Shenyang with the spirit of a thriving 21st
century city. Bold colors and eye-catching public spaces are
complemented by modern artwork from local and international artists. The
soaring Sky Lobby on the 25th floor features art installations inspired
by the intricate imperial decorations of Shenyang’s famous ancient
palaces where guests can enjoy an exclusive 360-degree panorama view of
the breathtaking city.

Grand Hyatt Shenyang offers 353 guestrooms, which are among the largest
in the city, starting at 452 square feet (42 square meters). Situated
between floors six and 23, all rooms boast spectacular city views and
plenty of natural light through floor-to-ceiling windows. Each room is
styled with polished hardwood floors and modern furnishings. Exotic
purple and gold accents, as well as impressive artworks inspired by
Shenyang’s native flower – the rose – add a distinctive and unique touch
of elegance to the overall warmth and comfort of each room. Each
guestroom at Grand Hyatt Shenyang manages to strike a balance between
luxury and comfort, resulting in a stylish home away from home for all
business and leisure travelers.
