Elevating Art with the Artist in Residence Programme in Shangri-La Sydney

Shangri-La Sydney has redefined the art of hotel living with its exclusive Artist in Residence programme, a first-of-its-kind in an Australian hotel. In partnership with acclaimed Australian indigenous artist Goompi Ugerbabah, the hotel has furnished its' public spaces with ten of his artworks, celebrating Australian talent. Goompi will spend two weeks each year in residence at the hotel, connecting with guests and creating art inspired by the breathtaking Sydney Harbour view.

The package features a stay in a Sydney Harbour Suite adorned with Goompi's art, a souvenir keepsake of one of his limited-edition prints, sumptuous dining at Altitude restaurant, premium cocktails at Blu Bar on 36, Chi, The Spa treatments, and access to Horizon Club Lounge.

Skydiamond Celebrations in Shangri-La The Shard, London

Shangri-La The Shard, London has partnered with Skydiamond, the world's most sustainable diamond company, to offer an exclusive “Skydiamond Celebration” experience. Skydiamonds are climate-positive diamonds mined from the atmosphere using renewable energy, setting a new standard in diamond creation. Guests can mark special occasions in London's highest hotel with a diamond born from the sky.

Exclusive to Shangri-La, guests booking this experience can enjoy exclusive prices for all diamonds and jewellery at Skydiamond.com and enjoy access to Skydiamond's concierge team who will provide Shangri-La guests with a personalised consultation. They also benefit from private access to a carefully curated collection of rare and dazzling diamonds found in a Shangri-La showcase on the Skydiamond website.
