Marriott has expanded its Delta Hotels brand to Asia Pacific with the opening of the 339-room Delta Hotels by Marriott Shanghai Baoshan in China.

The property is the first Delta hotel to open in the Asia Pacific market, a brand which expects to expand its global portfolio to 66 properties worldwide by the end of 2018.

“We are very excited to introduce the first Delta Hotels by Marriott to the Asia Pacific region,” said Mike Fulkerson, Vice President, Brand & Marketing, Asia Pacific at Marriott International.

“Delta Hotels is a premium brand with a clear brand ethos of ‘Simple Made Perfect’. The Delta Hotels by Marriott Shanghai Boshan delivers on this promise by providing a full complement of streamlined services in a simple, straightforward way. The hotel delivers key essentials in a manner that makes travel seamless and always enjoyable for our guests.”

The new Delta Hotels by Marriott Shanghai Baoshan is owned and managed by Shanghai Baolian Real Estate Ltd. The building, with its striking Georgian-inspired façade, is located close to downtown Shanghai in the city’s waterfront Baoshan District, at the mouth of the Huangpu River.

The hotel is a five-minute drive from the futuristic Wusongkou International Cruise Terminal, which has the capacity to handle 3.6 million cruise passengers per year.

The Delta Hotels by Marriott Shanghai Baoshan features 339 guest rooms and suites featuring 55-inch flatscreen LCD televisions, air purifiers, capsule coffee machines and premium bath amenities.

Dining options at the Delta Hotels by Marriott Shanghai Baoshan range from casual American style at the Lotus All Day Dining Restaurant to grilled steaks at The Kitchen and sophisticated fine dining at TRU, the hotel’s Chinese restaurant which specialises in authentic Cantonese cuisine. Guests can also enjoy freshly baked pastries and drinks all day at the Lobby Lounge, while the DWB bar is ideal for cocktails.

The hotel also boasts a pillarless Grand Ballroom, equipped with state-of-the-art audio-visual equipment to cater to corporate events, meetings and other occasions.
