What makes a happy traveller? The new global campaign by Shangri-La aims to answer that by helping guests find their personal moments of joy at the luxury hotel chain.
A whimsical brand film, directed by Grammy award-winning director Dave Meyers, celebrates Shangri-La Hotels’ commitment to world-class hospitality through unexpected moments of joy and unforgettable experiences.
Shot at renowned Shangri-La properties worldwide, the film captures various guest personas through five fanciful characters – the peony, hummingbird, penguin, toy train and wedding dress – and chronicles how they find their happiness at the hotels. Meyers reminds us that Shangri-La is not just a mental state, but also a physical one.
So what does “Shangri-La” mean to you? For many epicurean travellers, it means discovering outstanding food, unexpected flavours and unique culinary experiences.
And that’s what gourmands can enjoy at its exclusive “Find Your Shangri-La” menus and drinks, available at 13 Shangri-La hotels in France, China, Thailand, the Philippines, the United Kingdom and Singapore.
Guests will find Chinese and Asian cuisine interpreted through local culinary traditions, and get to delight in surprising flavour combinations and presentations until Aug 13. There are also tempting #FindYourShangriLa-themed cocktails and mocktails until Dec 31, 2023.
Shang Palace delights
At one-Michelin-starred Shang Palace, Singapore, the Epicure Shangri-La six-course menu presents fresh ingredients in unexpected dishes presented artistically.
The joy-inducing starter features roasted, sautéed, baked, and chilled morsels, including sublime Suckling Pig topped with Black Caviar and succulent Chilled Abalone marinated with sake, mirin, and bonito flakes.
Served in a claypot to keep its temperature, the lip-smacking Stewed Red Leg Prawn with Lemongrass and Garlic is flash-fried for a firmer texture, then pan-fried and simmered in a lemongrass, garlic, and scallion sauce.
Also memorable are the Double-boiled Chicken Soup with Fish Maw, Wolfberry, and Chinese Yam; Poached Spotted Garoupa Fillet with Crispy Bean Crumbs and Black Truffle Slices; Braised Spanish Kurobuta Pork Belly with Plum Sauce; and Chilled Mango Cream Pudding with Pomelo, Baked Peanut Pastry, and Osmanthus Wolfberry Jelly.
