IHG Hotels & Resorts has introduced Shanghai Snow World Hotel to its fast-growing Vignette Collection, a family of one-of-a-kind hotels in destinations to remember. The property is now open within the Guinness World Records-certified “World’s Largest Indoor Ski Facility” – Shanghai L+SNOW Indoor Skiing Theme Resort – and has 272 rooms and 17 suites with direct access to more than 90,000 square meters of authentic indoor year-round snow.
Shanghai Snow World Hotel is the first new build Vignette Collection property in China and alongside Crowne Plaza Shanghai Snow is one of two IHG brands to open within the Shanghai L+SNOW Indoor Skiing Theme Resort development. Both hotels serve the rising demand for ‘ice and snow’ hospitality in China which continues to rise 38% year-on-year according to the China Tourism Academy. Shanghai Snow World Hotel, Vignette Collection is a destination for year-round ski getaways inspired by the tranquility and invigorating spirit of the Nordic lifestyle. Just 30km from Shanghai Disney and Pudong Airport, the hotel caters to both skiing enthusiasts and snow seekers alike with fast-track access to ski slopes, indoor and outdoor water parks, and a tournament-level ice rink all within reach of its rooms.
Shanghai Snow World Hotel has four unique restaurants and bars, each serving a diverse variety of local delicacies and international flavors. Teppanyaki, located on the 18th floor, and The Peak on the top floor both boast panoramic views of the indoor winter wonderland.
The third floor houses eight versatile meeting rooms ideal for corporate events and personal gatherings, complemented by a dynamic pre-function area fitting for hosting themed events. For relaxation and fitness, guests have access to a state-of-the-art fitness center and an indoor heated swimming pool.
Shanghai Snow World Hotel is an example of the many one-of-a-kind hotels joining Vignette Collection in 2024 and 2025. Just three years after the brand’s introduction, Vignette Collection has surpassed the halfway point in its initial aim to reach 100 open and pipeline hotels in 10 years. Shanghai Snow World Hotel joins a family of 19 Vignette Collection hotels now open around the world with a further 34 in the pipeline* that will mark brand debuts in markets such as Japan, Vietnam, and The Maldives.
Emblematic of a collection brand, Shanghai Snow World Hotel sits in juxtaposition to properties like NOKU Maldives, a 50-room private villa resort, CIEL Tower, soon to be the world’s tallest hotel when it opens in Dubai, and RIHGA Royal Hotel Osaka, one of the city’s oldest and most sought-after hotels with over 90 years of history.
