Raffles Shenzhen: 72-story One Shenzhen Bay skyscraper palace with Yun Jing, Long Bar on 71st floor, and sky pool

Soaring with majestic glass-and-steel architectural splendour on the upper floors of the 72-story One Shenzhen Bay tower in Nanshan, Shenzhen, Guangdong, China (commanding 360-degree panoramic views of Shenzhen Bay and the Hong Kong skyline, just 30 minutes from Shenzhen Bao'an Airport, 15 minutes from Shenzhen Bay Port), Raffles Shenzhen opened as southern China’s premier high-altitude luxury grand palace. Masterfully designed by Kohn Pedersen Fox (KPF) with interior architecture by LW Design Group (Dubai), the 168-room luxury haven combines cutting-edge contemporary skyscraper design with classical Raffles heritage. Featuring the acclaimed Cantonese fine-dining institution Yun Jing on the 70th floor, the classical Japanese dining room Kokoni, the glamorous Long Bar on the 71st floor with resident jazz, an indoor heated freshwater sky-lap pool on the 70th floor, and the Forbes Five-Star Raffles Spa, this property is Shenzhen’s ultimate luxury grand palace.

Arrival introduces travelers to unvarnished Shenzhen bayfront splendour and high-altitude royal glamour: liveried Raffles Butlers greet guests beneath the glass-and-stone canopy at One Shenzhen Bay before riding the express sky elevator to the 34th-floor Sky Lobby with floor-to-ceiling bay glass, bronze art installations, and chilled signature Shenzhen Slings with Cantonese pastries. Day-one logistics focus on coordinating bespoke Shenzhen technological, bayfront, and shopping pursuits: walking along the coastal promenade of Shenzhen Bay Park (steps away), private guided tours of the Sea World Culture and Arts Center and MixC luxury mall (steps away), swimming in the 70th-floor heated indoor sky-lap pool with panoramic Hong Kong views, indulging in pearl and white tea therapies at the Forbes 5-Star Spa, taking afternoon tea at Raffles Lounge, and reserving dinner at Yun Jing.

Palace living balances active Shenzhen innovation with serene high-altitude wellness: Raffles Spa spans the 70th floor featuring 6 private luxury treatment suites, hydrotherapy vitality pools, eucalyptus steam rooms, saunas, the 70th-floor sky pool, and therapies utilizing organic botanicals and pearl extracts. Dining is an extraordinary Chinese-Japanese-European culinary summit: Cantonese haute gastronomy at Yun Jing on the 70th floor (featuring dim sum, braised abalone, and Grand Crus), Japanese teppanyaki at Kokoni, cocktails and jazz at Long Bar on the 71st floor, and international show kitchens at Sky Café.

Accommodations comprise 168 spacious rooms and executive suites styled by LW Design in rich timber, bronze, and floor-to-ceiling glass framing Shenzhen Bay and the Hong Kong skyline ranging from 60 to 450 square metres. Each residence features dedicated 24-hour Raffles Butler service, plush king beds with custom linens, and marble bathrooms with deep soaking bathtubs, embedded TV mirrors, and custom amenities.
