Starting in April 2024, Michelin Guide introduced the MICHELIN Key distinction recognizing the most outstanding hotels in the world, similar to its star system for restaurants. A significant highlight of the inaugural global MICHELIN Key hotel selection is the inclusion of hotels from Mainland China for the very first time. The Michelin Keys represent a new benchmark for hotel excellence, with the One Key award signifying a “very special stay.”
This achievement reflects a significant recognition for Mandrin Oriental, Shenzhen, which opened its doors in 2022.
Located in the vibrant heart of Futian, adjacent to the city’s central business district, the hotel features over 178 rooms and suites, each offering sweeping urban views through floor-to-ceiling windows. Its design seamlessly blends contemporary aesthetics with timeless Oriental elegance, embodying refined luxury throughout.

Complementing the exceptional dining experiences are a world-class spa, state-of-the-art fitness center, and an elevated pool, together creating an urban wellness sanctuary.
