Heritage Hotel welcomes the New Year



The Heritage Hotel Manila welcomes year 2001 and the

Year of the Snake with a slice of the good life and an

Oriental twist.



From Jan. 17-24, tikoy and radish cakes will be available

for sale at the lobby. On Jan. 23-31, guests are invited

to celebrate the Chinese New Year with family and

friends as the hotel’s Hua Ting Cantonese Restaurant

features set menus for 4, 6, 8 or 10 persons.



Guests can also try the hotel’s special drink and cake for

this month. Dubbed “Mellow Breeze”, the drink is a blend

of chilled mango juice, guava passion and guyabano. It

also comes with an adorable Pokemon stuffed toy. Called

“Interlude,” this dark chocolate sponge cake is a sweet

symphony of Japonaise (crisp biscuit with cashew nuts)

and white chocolate filling, flavored with Galliano, coffee

chocolate cream and iced with chocolate couverture.

China



Shangri-La Hotels and Resorts recently announced three

new management agreements within China in Nanjing,

Zhongshan and Zhengzhou, strengthening further the

group’s dominant position in the mainland where it already

has 15 hotels and 7,000 rooms.



These newly-built hotels are part of Shangri-La’s plans to

double the number of hotels it operates by 2005 from

existing 37 properties.



Slated to open early this year is the five-star

460-bedroom ShangriLa Dingshan Nanjing which is 40

minutes from Nanjing international airport and within close

proximity of the business and cultural districts. Located in

a garden setting, the hotel will have expensive views

across the Yangtse river and the city, with many rooms,

which range from 40 to 60 square meters, featuring

balconies.



The 264-bedroom Shangri-La Zhongshan in southern

China, opening late 2001, is only one and half hour by

ferry from Hong Kong and 15 minutes from the ferry port.

The hotel’s recreation facilities are extensive with two

squash courts, a 16-lane bowling alley, an outdoor

swimming pool, eight outdoor tennis courts, four

badminton courts, a gymnasium, games’ room, sauna and

steam room.



The 14-storey Shangri-La Hotel Zhengzhou, situated in

the heart of the capital of Henan province in the center

of China, will open early 2002. The hotel will have 280

spacious guestrooms and suites, a ballroom, a number of

meeting and breakout rooms as well as a wide range of

leisure facilities.
