Shangri-La Hotels and Resorts rocked the world of Golden Circle Elite members in Hong Kong recently when they were treated to a night out at the Queen musical, "We Will Rock You".
More than 100 loyal guests and their partners accepted the invitation for the rocking night out at the Lyric Theatre at The Hong Kong Academy for Performing Arts in Wanchai.
Pre-show cocktails started at 7pm and an hour later, some of Shangri-La's most loyal customers were tapping their feet to the music of some of Queen's best hits including "Bohemian Rhapsody", "We are the Champions" and "Radio Ga Ga".
The musical has entertained more than six million people worldwide and is doing its run in Asia.
Golden Circle Elite members can expect more such exclusive events in other cities over the coming months.

Shangri-La Hotels and Resorts will make a contribution to a successful 2008 Beijing Olympics by servicing four apartment buildings with 1,633 rooms at the Green Homeland Media Village, part of the Beijing Olympic Village, during the 2008 Olympic Games.
In addition to provision of daily housekeeping services, Shangri-La will provide a special central service centre to handle enquiries and provide city information to more than 1,500 international journalists who will be staying at the Green Homeland Media Village.
Shangri-La has appointed a dedicated committee, led by the group's executive vice president and comprised of the top management from the group and its hotels, to focus on streamlining the Shangri-La hospitality experience for Media Village residents through administration, staff training and coordination.
A service team comprising more than 100 hotel staff from various Shangri-La hotels in mainland China will be formed and trained in Media Village product knowledge and service operation procedures, prior to relocating to the Media Village this month.
"We are honoured to be granted this opportunity by the Beijing Olympic Organising Committee to showcase Shangri-La's well-known Asian style of warm hospitality to the world's media. Given our group's strength in China, it is fitting that we should play a significant role to making a contribution to the Games," said James Jin, the group's executive vice president and committee chairman.
In preparation for the Olympics, Shangri-La Hotels and Resorts has fast-tracked employee training and language classes at its four Beijing properties, which are also Olympic Partner Hotels: China World Hotel, Beijing; Shangri-La's Kerry Centre Hotel, Beijing; Shangri-La Hotel, Beijing; and Traders Hotel, Beijing.
The group's Beijing hotels represent a total of 2,430 rooms; 12,368 square metres of conference space; and approximately 3,000 staff to meet the needs of Olympics visitors.

With Shangri-La's Villingili Resort and Spa, opening in Addu Atoll the fourth quarter of 2008, you don't have to get wet to experience the beauty of the Maldives.
The soon-to-open resort will be the first Maldives resort to offer nature trails and weekly guided walking tours with a resident expert.
The tours will give even the most seasoned travellers to the Maldives a new glimpse into the natural attractions that lie above ground in these islands.
Surrounded by towering ancient Banyan trees, 17,000 coconut trees and nature trails winding through the three-kilometre-long island, the new Shangri-La resort is the perfect spot to learn about another side of the Maldives.
Guests can catch the guided weekly walking tour and learn about the island's 45 plant species, including the noni plant, believed to help alleviate arthritis and hypertension. The more adventurous can tote a gourmet picnic and explore the nature trails on their own, armed with trail maps and guided by informational signage along the route. Along the way, they can stop for lunch by one of the three lagoons, naturally tinged in red, blue or green.
Shangri-La's Villingili Resort and Spa offers stylish, spacious accommodations set amidst a tropical, boutique hotel-style environment. The Maldives' second international airport, Gan International Airport, is an eight-minute boat ride away from the resort and Male International Airport is 70 minutes by air.

Show stoppers in Sydney
"(At Shangri-La Hotel, Sydney) everything is swathed in an ultra-modern atmosphere of subtle Asian elegance, and the Shangri-La offers over indulgence all the way... the real show stoppers, however, are the Altitude restaurant and Blu Horizon Bar on Level 36."
