The arrival of Swissôtel Shanghai Hongqiao at the intersection of Hongxu Road and Wuzhong Road, near the Caohejing Economic and Technological Development Zone and Shanghai Xinzhuang Industrial Park, will support the revitalization efforts of the Shanghai Hongqiao Gubei Business Development area. Not only will the global reputation of Swissôtel draw visitors and boost tourism, but the brand’s commitment to sustainability, vitality, and purposeful living aligns with the community values of Gubei.
