Hyatt Hotels Corporation has announced the opening of Thompson Shanghai Expo, marking the debut of the Thompson Hotels brand in the Asia Pacific region. Thompson Shanghai Expo is located in the World Expo area—Shanghai’s revitalized business, culture and events district.
The 254-key Thompson Shanghai Expo is an integral part of Expo Place—part landmark commercial complex, part vibrant hub of art, retail and leisure, set along the riverfront with extensive urban links. This prime location is steps from former Expo sites transformed into major event, performance, and art venues, including the Shanghai World Expo Exhibition and Convention Center, the Mercedes-Benz Arena, and the China Art Museum. Additionally, the hotel is moments from the Shanghai Expo Culture Park, upscale shopping centers, and metro stations.
