Shangri-La Hotel, At The Shard London

Oriental elegance with unparalleled views of the capital

Opened May 2014, the Shangri-La Hotel at The Shard is located south of the Thames, almost opposite of the Tower of London. The Renzo Piano–designed Shard building certainly provides the best possible eye on the capital, with all 202 guest rooms and suites featuring floor-to-ceiling windows in a style of oriental elegance. In proximity to Borough Market and Bermondsey, the hotel also includes the 52nd-floor Gong bar for sunset cocktails, while at Tıng, guests can enjoy some of the city’s best dim sum.
