The modern and sophisticated Shangri-La "S" logo not only resembles uniquely Asian architectural forms, but also reminds the beholder of majestic mountains reflected in the waters of a tranquil lake. |

Europe
In February
2005, Shangri-La announced that it will be opening a hotel in
Europe, at London Bridge Tower along the banks of
River Thames. The hotel is planned to open by early
2010, and is projected to be the tallest building in Britain at 310 metres (1,016 ft.) high. In January 2006, the group announced their second European property in
Paris,
France. The Shangri-La Hotel Paris will open in the Palais Roland Bonaparte at 10 Avenue D'Iena in
2008. The building was a palace that was previously owned by Roland Bonaparte, the grand nephew of Napoleon Bonaparte. While maintaining its landmark exterior, ornate ironwork, and architectural integrity, the palace will be renovated from the interiors and will form 140 of the city's most spacious guest rooms, beginning upwards of forty square meters.
North America
The group is also entering the North American market with a new property in
Vancouver,
Canada currently
under construction, due to be open by mid-2008. The Hotel group has recently announced hotels in the United States, with
Chicago, due to open in 2009 and
Miami, slated to open in 2008. In late December, a new hotel was announced in
Las Vegas, forming an integral part of the newly-announced
Echelon Place. The Las Vegas property will open in
2009. Other gateways in the United States are to follow in the coming years.
