Get ready for a new era of airport hospitality in Shanghai! The highly anticipated Aerotel Shanghai Pudong Airport Hotel is set to open its doors in the second quarter of 2025, offering travelers a unique and convenient blend of accommodation, dining, and wellness services. This marks Aerotel’s debut in Shanghai, a significant milestone in the expansion of Plaza Premium Group (PPG) in Greater China, following the successful launch of lounges in Macau and Chongqing.
This partnership with Shanghai Airport (Group) Co., Ltd. underscores both companies’ dedication to enhancing the overall passenger experience at Pudong International Airport, a key global aviation hub. Aerotel, an award-winning brand known for its flexible hourly booking options, cozy environments, and exceptional service, has been catering to travelers worldwide since 2016. This new Shanghai location marks Aerotel’s eleventh global property and the third in Mainland China, joining existing hotels in Beijing and Qingdao.
The brand’s presence extends to ten major cities worldwide, including London, Singapore, Kuala Lumpur, Sydney, and Rio De Janeiro. Mr. Feng Xin, Deputy Secretary and President of Shanghai Airport (Group) Co., Ltd., expressed his enthusiasm for the partnership, stating, “We are committed to transforming Pudong International Airport into a world-class aviation hub. Quality airport hotels like Aerotel play a crucial role in improving passenger satisfaction, a key benchmark for global hubs.”
Aerotel Shanghai will provide not only premium accommodation but also flexible booking options for short stays, making it the ideal choice for travelers seeking a restful respite between flights. Its addition to Terminal 2 of Pudong International Airport is expected to further solidify the airport’s reputation as a premier international transfer hub. Recent improvements to transfer routes and customs clearance processes have driven significant growth in international passenger traffic at Pudong, positioning the airport as a key player in the global aviation industry.
Mr. Song Hoi-See, Founder and CEO of Plaza Premium Group, emphasized the strategic importance of the new hotel: “We are excited to collaborate with Shanghai Airport (Group) Co., Ltd., as this project is a significant milestone in our global and domestic expansion. With increasing international transfer routes, Aerotel Shanghai will offer a world-class in-airport accommodation option for passengers.”
Alongside the hotel’s launch, PPG’s global travel membership program, Smart Traveller, will also make its debut in China, further enhancing the customer experience. This development cements PPG’s leadership in airport hospitality, providing superior guest experiences across the world’s major travel hubs.
