Jumeirah Signs VENU in Shanghai

Jumeirah has signed an agreement with Shanghai Zendai Himalayas Real Estate to manage the VENU Himalayas Hotel Shanghai, a new contemporary lifestyle hotel in the heart of Pudong. The hotel, the first of Jumeirah's new brand, is scheduled to open in 2011.

VENU Himalayas Hotel Shanghai will be a 400 key art-themed hotel, including 70 luxury suites, standing at the heart of an arts and lifestyle hub, the Himalayas Centre.

Guests of the very first VENU property will be able to tune-in, connect, share and celebrate in the futuristic hotel, designed by architect Arata Isozaki and interior designer KCA International to reflect the unique structure and experience of the Himalayas.

The Himalayas Centre also includes a modern art museum, a theatre, as well as retail space. Located in front of the Shanghai New International Expo Centre and within an exclusive high-end residential area, the project enjoys direct access to the Shanghai Metro system and less than a kilometre away from the Maglev train, allowing a seven-minute connection to Pudong International Airport.

VENU Himalayas Hotel Shanghai is the sixth management agreement signed by Jumeirah Group in China and brings the total number of properties under development or in operation by Jumeirah globally to 43.
