Shangri-La The Shard, London
Luxury at towering heights in London
VERIFIED LUXURY
Here are five things to know about us:
1. We verify luxury. Our highly trained inspectors visit every property we rate, evaluating based on up to 900 objective criteria. Our hotel stays span a minimum of two nights.
2. We pay our own way. No one can buy a rating; all ratings are earned through our objective inspection process.
3. Our global team of inspectors are anonymous at all times, so they have the same experience as a typical guest.
4. While we inspect both service and facility, our Star Rating system emphasizes service because your experience at a hotel, restaurant or spa goes beyond looks — how it makes you feel is what you will remember most.
5. We started in1958 as Mobil Travel Guide, and we created the original Five-Star rating system for hospitality.

Shangri-La Hotel group’s first property in the U.K. enjoys a spectacular location within The Shard,
London’s megawatt skyscraper. Designed by world-famous architect Renzo Piano and open to the public in 2013, the tallest building in Western Europe dwarfs practically everything else in the city’s skyline.
The London hotel itself is located on floors 34 through 52. Upon arrival, the door staff will whisk you from the ground level entrance up to the Sky Lobby.
With floor-to-ceiling windows in all of Shangri-La The Shard, London's rooms, you will have to pull yourself away from the stunning city views to take in London’s nearby attractions including Borough Market (just a few minutes away by foot), the Tower of London and St. Paul’s Cathedral.
