Artfully imagined by world-renowned design firm YABU Pushelberg to embody “A Story of a Dreamer,” the 300-room hotel takes guests on a reflective journey through modern art and calming aesthetics – lending a reprieve from the surrounding urban bustle.
"We are thrilled to introduce Conrad Shenzhen, our first luxury property in China’s thriving technology hub and a breathtaking addition to our portfolio of hotels in Asia Pacific,” said Alan Watts, president, Asia Pacific, Hilton. “Travel demand remains strong and is only expected to rise as international travel to China resumes. As the country’s fastest growing hotel company, Hilton stands ready to welcome even more guests here in Shenzhen and other key destinations.”
Situated in the heart of the city’s financial center, only 25 minutes from Shenzhen Bao’an International Airport and steps away from Guiwan metro station, the hotel offers unparalleled views of the Qianhai Bay as well as proximity to international shopping centers, world-class restaurants and more.
Dino Michael, senior vice president and global category head, Hilton Luxury Brands, said, “With its urban landscape and rich cultural heritage, Shenzhen is an ideal destination for growing Conrad Hotels & Resorts in China. Through the brand’s purposeful service, and the hotel’s desirable location and sophisticated design, travellers can enjoy an inspiring stay infused with local connections and elevated culinary experiences.”
Owned by Horoy Group, Conrad Shenzhen is poised to usher global travelers to the Chinese gateway city.

Featuring curated contemporary art and striking design, Conrad Shenzhen invites guests to explore cutting-edge interiors imbued with local culture at every turn. The interiors have been meticulously designed by YABU Pushelberg to create an immersive environment, while the hotel’s captivating architectural structure has been crafted by Goettsch Partners, an innovative architecture firm with a global perspective.
True to its theme, Conrad Shenzhen encapsulates the transformative spirit of Shenzhen, which in just four decades, evolved from a quiet fishing village into a vibrant megacity. This narrative is woven throughout the hotel’s design, with elegant motifs inspired by the city's humble past and reimagined through a modern lens.
