Apa Makna Shangri-La


Kita biasa dengar penginapan nama Hotel Shangri-La. Ada kat merata bandar. Kat KL ada, Penang pun ada.  

Mana datang nama Shangri-La? Apa makna Shangri-La ni?

Mungkin jarang sangat kita menginap kat Shangri-La. Mungkin tak pernah pun. Tapi boleh saja kita google cari info untuk tahu apa makna sebenar Shangri-La.

Saya sudah google dan baru tahu nama Shangri-La Hotel mulanya diperkenal oleh Robert Kuok. Hotel Shangri La pertama ialah di Singapura. Mula bisnes pada April 1971.

Kini ada lebih seratus hotel Shangri-La seluruh dunia. Kesemuanya milik konglomerat Robert Kuok. Pengurusan tertinggi Shangri-La Asia Limited kini diketuai oleh Kuok Hui Kwong, anak perempuan Robert Kuok.

Hotel Shangri-La pertama di Singapore

Mula beroperasi April 1971

Petikan:

The Shangri-La Hotel was named after the mythical, idyllic, and peaceful Himalayan utopia described in James Hilton's 1933 novel Lost Horizon. Founded by Malaysian businessman Robert Kuok in 1971, the brand adopted the name to symbolize "serenity and service," aiming to create a luxurious, welcoming paradise that reflects legendary Asian hospitality.
