Dubai-based luxury hotel operator Jumeirah Group has completed the soft opening of its first five-star luxury hotel in China at the Himalayas Centre in Pudong, Shanghai.
The 401-bedroom Jumeirah Himalayas Hotel Shanghai features four restaurants, a Spa at Jumeirah and a 24-hour fitness centre and indoor swimming pool.
The spa will fully open when the hotel is officially launched later this year.
At the spa, a team of local therapists will perform traditional Chinese treatments while facilities include treatment rooms, themed saunas, ice and fire rooms and Jumeirah's traditional hot stone baths.
The hotel also offers a 5,000sq m (53,000sq ft) rooftop Infinity Garden, designed for large outdoor events.
The interior of the hotel was designed by KCA International, whose portfolio includes the Burj al Arab in Dubai, which is also run by Jumeirah.
Jumeirah Himalayas luxury hotel in Shanghai is part of the landmark Himalayas Centre, a spacious new arts and cultural hub including the 1,100-seat DaGuan Theatre, Himalayas Art Museum, a luxury brand mall and impressive outdoor event venues, such as the Infinity Garden and Wuji Plaza.
In addition to Jumeirah Himalayas Hotel Shanghai, Jumeirah has five other luxury hotels in China currently under development - Jumeirah Hangzhou, Jumeirah Guangzhou, Jumeirah Qing Shui Bay Resort Sanya, Jumeirah Macau and Jumeirah Thousand Islands Lake Resort in Qiandaohu
