SHANGRI-LA Hotels & Resorts officially opened its second Kerry Hotel on Saturday, marking the completion of the first phase of a multimillion-dollar refurbishment of Kerry Centre Hotel, Beijing.

Rebranded as Kerry Hotel, Beijing, the property joins its sister hotel, Kerry Hotel Pudong, Shanghai, which launched the brand in February this year.

With a host of new facilities, amenities and services, Kerry Hotel, Beijing features contemporary Club rooms and suites, a Club lounge, a reconfigured lobby, and two new dining outlets: Kerry's Kitchen and Kerry's Pantry.

The hotel's Centro bar and lounge has also been redesigned for a fresh clean look and added an outdoor bistro-style terrace.

The 1,560m² grand ballroom, which can accommodate up to 1,500 pax, has also been upgraded with improved audiovisual equipment.
