Shangri-La Ulaanbaatar
Location Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia
Set in the heart of Mongolia’s capital, this 5-star luxury hotel rises above the city center with a presence that’s both refined and rooted. Its contemporary design is accented by subtle Mongolian influences. Polished stone floors, warm wood details and panoramic windows shape a calm, expansive lobby that opens into lounges and quiet corners. The Choijin Lama Temple and other cultural landmarks are just a short walk away.
Guest rooms are spacious and thoughtfully designed, with warm natural tones, clean-lined furnishings and large windows framing views of the mountains and amusement park to the north or the cityscape to the south. Beds are layered with feather duvets, mattress toppers and a full pillow menu for customized comfort. Marble bathrooms include heated floors, a deep soaking tub, separate rainfall shower and premium toiletries. Each room comes equipped with high-speed Wi-Fi, a flatscreen satellite TV, executive writing desk, in-room safe, coffee and tea-making facilities and a fully stocked minibar.
Dining is varied and considered. Three on-site restaurants and a stylish bar offer options that range from hand-pulled noodles and grilled Mongolian lamb to international classics. The bar serves expertly crafted cocktails and light bites in a polished, low-lit space. The hotel also houses Ulaanbaatar’s largest indoor lifestyle facility—a 75,000-square-foot multilevel complex with a state-of-the-art gym, five-lane heated indoor pool, steam room, sauna and juice bar. Sustainability is central to the property’s operations, with energy-efficient lighting, water-saving fixtures, locally sourced ingredients and a comprehensive recycling program woven into daily practices.
