A China-owned hospitality group is launching a new homegrown five-star hotel brand in Shanghai, reported Travel Daily Media Tuesday.

YSL, or Saint Laurent Paris as it has been re-branded, has revealed its new store concept, which the company says is ready to be rolled out.

The 3,200-square-foot Shanghai store is the first of its kind, designed by Hedi Slimane and set to sell both men’s and women’s ready-to-wear lines.

Bulgari Hotels & Resorts will open a new hotel in Shanghai in 2015, announced Bulgari China on its Sina Weibo microblog Thursday.

The new hotel, to be located in a riverside complex in the artistic district of Suhe Creek, will be the fourth for the luxury hospitality group, a joint venture between Italian jeweler Bulgari and Marriott International.

To celebrate the brand’s 20th anniversary in China, Louis Vuitton has opened its first Maison in Shanghai on July 21.

Holiday Inn Shanghai Pudong Kangqiao is the new landmark building and the first international branded hotel in the Kangqiao area.

The new hotel features a one of a kind swimming pool. Located on the 24th floor of the hotel, the 30 meters long swimming pool is in suspension over the edge.

A few years ago, British engineering firm Atkins won the rights to design an extravagant hotel deep within a 100-metre pit in Shanghai‘s Songjiang District.

Construction on the Intercontinental Shimao Shanghai Wonderland finally commenced last month, and the hotel is scheduled to open in early 2015.
