Shangri-La Asia Ltd, Asia's largest luxury hotel operator, plans to open two hotels in an affiliated company's development in Shanghai in 2011 to meet growing travel demand in China.

The Jing An Shangri-La will have 347 rooms on 24 floors of a 58-story Grade A building, Hong Kong-based Shangri-La said yesterday.

Shangri-La will also have 600 rooms in the new 43-story Jing An Kerry Center. Both hotels will be in a development on Nanjing Road in the city's Puxi section.
