Pudong district. Due to open in early 2006, the hotel will contain 362 guestrooms, including 81 suites, with 80%

The Radisson Hotel Pudong Century Park will be located in close proximity to Century Park, the largest dedicated parkland in Shanghai; the Shanghai International
Exhibition Centre; and the world’s first Meglov terminal – the world’s fastest train, connecting Pudong to the Shanghai Pudong International Airport.
President of Carlson Hotels Asia Pacific, Mr. Paul Kirwin,
said, “As the economic capital of China and a major regional gateway city, Shanghai’s demand for quality
accommodation continues to grow. The strategic location and innovative modern architecture of the Radisson Hotel Pudong Century Park make the hotel an
excellent addition to the Radisson portfolio of quality hotels worldwide.
The hotel will be integrated into the adjoining Thumb Square commercial and residential development, connecting it to retail shops, large supermarkets and restaurants
as well as the Zhengdu Museum of Modern Art. As part of an agreement, the hotel will partner with the museum to exhibit various artworks from exhibitions held
throughout the year.
Developed by Shanghai Zendai Commercial and Tourist Investment and Development Company, the Radisson Hotel Pudong Century Park will be managed by Carlson
Hotels Asia Pacific. The hotel will encompass three podium levels connecting to the Forum Centre and Museum as well as an 18-level tower containing 362
guest rooms.
“We are looking forward to working with the Shanghai Zendai Commercial and Tourist Investment and Development Company to make the project a great success.”
Mr. Dai, Chairman, Shanghai Zendai Commercial and Tourist Investment and Development Company
said, “We are very pleased to be on board with Radisson for this exciting new development and I am confident that the facilities and location of the Radisson Hotel Pudong Century Park will attract both business and
leisure travellers.”
Adjacent to the Shanghai New International Expo Centre and close to the Pudong financial district, the Radisson Hotel Shanghai Pudong Century Park will be perfectly
suited to corporate guests and leisure travellers, who will benefit from the commercial and residential Thumb Square adjacent to the hotel.
The hotel will offer conference facilities, a grand ballroom, beauty salon, outdoor swimming pool, gymnasium, tennis court and food and beverage facilities. The interior
design of the hotel will be simple but elegant, blending cutting-edge design with Chinese artifacts and artworks. The conference facilities will include a
multi-functional ballroom that can be divided into two breakout rooms and two executive boardrooms. Food and beverage facilities will include an all-day-dining restaurant, Italian
restaurant, uniquely designed business Internet deli, a lobby lounge bar, an art gallery bar and a Chinese restaurant with private dining rooms.
