Shangri-la Hotel Tokyo successfully opened on March 2 2009 and has begun their journey!!!
(That's what they said on the banner, "Our journey begins on 2 March 2009!)
This means one of the long-term giant projects of PTM is finally over and we are all relieved.
We, along with our KOKUNAI (Domestic) Group, have been working on this project since the fall of 2006.... nearly 2 and a half years have passed since then!
We were their MEP consultant, IT consultant, and AV consultant. Since we designed the M&E systems for their base building that hotel is tenanting (Mori Trust Tower), we were involved in A/A'/B/B' and also C works altogether. That building has so many footprints of PTM members!!!
Maybe the hotel price is away away expensive for our kind of people to stay so we (at least I) may never be able to afford it on our own, it is always nice to imagine somebody enjoying the facilities that we designed and consulted and picture people complementing the electrical system (or complaining the A/C status!!!).
People grade hotels not only on facilities, but more importantly on hospitality that hotel provide for their guests. Shangri-la hotel is truly famous for their hospitality and that is why they are ranked as a 5-star world wide hotel.
Maybe it is too much to go vacationing abroad this year due to this recession, yet if you are interested in Shangri-la hospitality and MEP system that they have, why don't you save up your money and go visit the most convenient luxurious hotel (right by Tokyo Station!) in Tokyo?
Personally, I was very much interested in their "CHI Spa", a well-known luxurious relaxation massage course that Shangri-la provides. Hopefully my boss will treat me the course someday for my hard working in this project!!!
