The hotel's Asian touches extend to its three wining and dining destinations. Ting (derived from the Chinese word for a living room) serves locally sourced cuisine with a hint of Asian flavors in the restaurant and authentic Asian specialties and two unique afternoon teas in the lounge.

Lang (the Chinese word for 'pathway') is a patisserie and artisan deli on the ground floor showcasing a selection of Shangri-La signature cakes and savories for eat-in or take-away along with seasonal hampers.

The third Gong, London's highest champagne and cocktail bar, takes its name from dougong - an ancient Chinese structural element of interlocking wooden brackets that will be a component of the bar's interior. Gong is located on Level 52, which is also home to the 24-hour gym and London's highest infinity pool.

For intimate celebrations, private cocktail gatherings and luxury product launches, the hotel's three river-front event spaces offer a London event experience like no other.

Located on level 34, they are connected to the sky lobby by a grand staircase with a vista of St Paul's Cathedral and beyond.

The venues accommodate from 10 to 140 people, and the entire 34th floor may be requested for a standing reception of up to 200 guests.

Spectacular views from 125 meters above the city complement the state-of-the-art conferencing technology and tailor-made catering services.
