Is The Peninsula Hotel in Shanghai Now Under New Ownership? HA
The initial press release was like this.
The Hotel is managed by Hopson Commercial Property Management Company, and the hotel is located in the Shanghai Jing'an District, Suhe River Bay. From the top floor, you can overlook the beautiful city scenery.
The same KPF architecture firm as the Hong Kong Hotel, with 220 rooms and 83 Residences, the Executive Lounge is a landmark luxury and exclusive rest area for the Hotel, and 4 creative dining choices: cafe, bar, Chinese restaurant, outdoor restaurant and bar, are all about to enter the Shanghai Hotel. The concept originated from the Asaya resort destination in Phuket Hotel, providing guests with a series of exclusive services. The expected opening is in 2024.
However, a picture started circulating in March. It wasn't the previously mentioned Suhe River Hopson Hub.
Huh?
Another contract? Will there be two Hotels in Shanghai?
Is it a new owner re-signing?

This is a view taken by Sonia in 2018 when she inspected the Shanghai Hotel construction site. It's similar to the perspective of the Suzhou River North bank's DaTong Lu. HA guessed that the land hadn't changed, just the owner changed.
