Its portfolio includes the Shangri-La, Kerry Hotels, JEN by Shangri-La, and Traders brands. The group is known for personalised service, Asian-inspired hospitality, and distinctive properties in major cities and resort destinations. Shangri-La hotels employ colleagues across guest services, food and beverage, sales, marketing, finance, engineering, wellness, and corporate functions. The Hong Kong corporate office supports brand strategy, communications, operations, and business development across the group. Working there can offer exposure to a large international hospitality network, regional projects, luxury-brand communications, and collaboration with teams from diverse cultural and professional backgrounds.

Working in Hong Kong

Hong Kong offers strong opportunities in hospitality, finance, technology, retail, aviation, tourism, communications, and professional services. Its culture blends Cantonese traditions with international influences, offering excellent food, festivals, arts, shopping, and a fast-paced business environment. Lifestyle choices range from dense urban neighbourhoods and vibrant nightlife to beaches, hiking trails, outlying islands, and quieter New Territories communities. Overseas professionals normally need an employment visa sponsored by their Hong Kong employer; applications generally require a confirmed job, suitable qualifications or experience, and proof that the role cannot easily be filled locally. Dependants may usually accompany approved visa holders, subject to immigration rules. Relocation costs can be significant, especially rent, deposits, healthcare, and schooling. Public transport is efficient, and English is widely used in business, while Cantonese is valuable for daily life and local communication.
