Marriott Opens First Moxy Hotel in China

Marriott has expanded its portfolio of Moxy hotels in Asia Pacific with the opening of the Moxy Shanghai Hongqiao CBD, the first Moxy in mainland China.

The new 158-room hotel is located right next to Shanghai Hongqiao International Airport (SHA), one of the most important transportation hubs in China as it brings together high-speed rail, the international airport and local metro lines.

Facilities at the hotel include a 24-hour fitness centre, a 24-hour ironing room, a bar in the lobby, 24/7 self-service mini mart outlet, and a display board in the lobby that will feature flight information, route maps and aircraft seating updates in real-time. Foosball and a variety of popular board games are also available in the hotel’s communal spaces for guests to enjoy.

The hotel’s rooms are cleverly designed to maximize space with smart features such as a plush platform bed to a fun-size work surface, and peg walls instead of closets.

Each guestroom is equipped with Moxy’s signature Stellar Works foldable workspace desks and chairs, as well as 55-inch flat screen TVs, bedside USB ports, electronic safety box, walk-in rain showers and free Wi-Fi.

“We’re thrilled to be the first Moxy hotel in mainland China in the electrified metropolitan of Shanghai, and to show this city just how invigorating and fun a hotel stay really can be,” said Aleen Wan, Captain of the Moxy Shanghai Hongqiao CBD. “Different from anything else in this area, our spirited crew members are excited to connect with travelers in a playful way over games and cocktails in our design-driven social areas, allowing travelers to blend work and play – all at an approachable price point.”

Marriott plans to open more Moxy hotels in mainland China. The Moxy Shanghai Xuhui is slated to open in the cosmopolitan city later this summer and additional new Moxy hotels are slated to open in Nanjing, Shenzhen and Xi’an within the next twelve months.
