T&L:您觉得2017年中国的高端酒店业市场有何变化?贵酒店如何应对这些变化?
What changes do you think about China's high-end hotel market in 2017? How did your hotel respond to these changes?
吴俊杰先生:根据上海旅游局最新发布的数据,去年上海游客增长量相比2016年增加了2%。这一数据同样反映在了酒店业市场,上海迪士尼度假区的开业进一步扩大了上海旅游业的客源市场。就我们上海浦东香格里拉酒店而言,酒店位于外滩之滨的绝佳位置,距离迪士尼度假区车程便利,去年接待了许多以上海迪士尼度假区为目的地的游客。国内游市场需求增长强劲。而商务会议市场需求同样增长,占酒店全年营收的35%。
Based on the statistics from SH Tourism Bureau, the overall visitors to SH increased 2% compared with 2016, which reflected in hotel business. Disney has spurred a lot of demand and we’ve seen a great increase in leisure guests because many of them like to combine the Bund location with our quite close location to Disney. In that case, we have registered very good business in 2017 with demand from domestic travelers being strong. And MICE continuously remained the growth in the market, which was our biggest segment that contributed more than 35% of the hotel business.T&L:越来越多的高端酒店进驻中国市场,竞争也越来越激烈,贵酒店有哪些措施应对激烈的竞争环境?
More and more high-end hotels are entering the Chinese market, leading more and more fierce competition. What measures will you take to deal with the fierce competition environment?
吴俊杰先生:上海浦东香格里拉大酒店坐拥独特地理位置,开业20年来在业内拥有良好的声誉。作为香格里拉酒店集团旗下最具标志性的一家酒店,我们历来以独到的亚洲式殷勤好客关怀每一位顾客。在竞争愈发激烈的市场大环境下,我们注重酒店基础设施提升的同时,每一位员工都坚持温良谦恭,彬彬有礼,尊重备至,乐于助人,真诚质朴的核心价值。用我们的热情好客令每位感到亲如一家。Pudong Shangri-La is an iconic property in Shangri-La Hotels and Resorts in a very special location and well-established reputation.

T&L:您认为过去一年酒店业在服务创新、管理创新、科技创新等方面有哪些值得关注的案例?
What noteworthy cases of service innovation, management innovation, scientific and technological innovation within hotel industry in the past year?
吴俊杰先生:-餐饮外宴:我们取得了上海市食品药品监督管理局颁发的食品外宴许可证。目前全市只有少数酒店获得了相关资质。现如今餐饮市场需求增长,形式也更富于变化。相比于传统的在酒店内用餐,人们更喜欢在黄浦江畔,在老厂房,艺术馆内甚至是博物馆等具有氛围的场所用餐。2017年,酒店成功接待了数场体育赛事,时尚活动及企业晚宴。
-美食创新:早在大众开始挖掘新兴消费趋势前,酒店已经在着手创新合作模式来迎合全新的美食文化。去年底,我们与英国著名时装设计师PAUL SMITH世界巡回大展 “Hello, My Name is Paul Smith” 成功合作,于大堂酒廊发布了新一季的Paul Smith艺术下午茶,延续到了今年1月8日。全新形式的跨界艺术下午茶给食客和艺术爱好者们带来了无与伦比的视觉与味觉冲击。而下午茶点心的口味设计也富于创新变化,虾仁芒果配鱼子酱三明治、蜜桃果冻、草莓椰味泡芙等美味小点的造型创意均受Paul Smith经典英伦时尚元素启发,美味与艺术在这里碰撞出无限创意火花。Paul Smith下午茶一经推出也广受好评。
此外翡翠36餐厅带来了裸眼3D马可波罗系列,六道式的主题套餐,将美食与科技手段结合,跨越法式、中东、西域以及中国特色料理,可谓是美食无国界。翡翠36餐厅是中国大陆地区首家推出裸眼3D马可波罗系列的餐厅,食客在此坐拥旖旎外滩美景,体验到裸眼3D小厨师带来的震撼视觉体验的同时,尽享我们极富创意的厨师团队带来的丰盛佳肴。
- Culinary innovations
In fact, before gearing up to fully tap the emerging consumer trend, the hotel has already made some innovative efforts to adapt to the changing culinary culture.
In one of its latest successful endeavors, the hotel, in cooperation with the “Hello, My Name is Paul Smith” exhibition, by renowned English fashion designer Paul Smith, launched last month, a new art series and afternoon tea at the Lobby Lounge.
Available through January 8, 2018 and designed to bring art lovers and diners a sense of luxury through seeing, feeling and tasting, the themed afternoon tea, featuring beautiful creations such as: Prawn Mango Tobiko Sandwich, Peach Jelly and Strawberry Mousse with Choux, all inspired from Paul Smith’s work and tiered in artistic presentation, has received a very positive response from the market.
The 3D Journey with Marco Polo, a six-course themed menu ready for booking at its Jade on 36 Restaurant, is an even better example showing that culinary imagination has no boundaries.
The first hotel to launch the “3D Le Petite Chef — Marco Polo series” in the Chinese mainland, Pudong Shangri-La, East Shanghai has combined gastronomy and entertainment with 3D animation.
Guests will be impressed by the city skyline’s magnificent views, while savoring culinary delights from the restaurant’s talented chefs, along with the playful animation of a miniature chef who invites himself to a table of guests to “prepare” meals right before their eyes.

On December 2, Pudong Shangri-La, East Shanghai raced into the holiday season with its third annual Charity Santa Run. The 5K race welcomed runners of all ages in jolly Santa costumes to benefit the Children’s Hospital of Fudan.After a fun day of running past skyscrapers and along the river, the event raised RMB157,168 (about USD23,746), which will be donated to the hospital to help children suffering from leukemia.
