Business Traveller - Shangri-La to take luxury to new heights

Business Traveller - Shangri-La to take luxury to new heights:
"Shangri-La is set to open its first Europe hotel in a London skyscraper.
The luxury Asian hotel chain will open its London property in 2009 occupying the upper floors of a mixed-use skyscraper in London Bridge. Dubbed the "Shard of Glass", the 303-metre tower will take the title of London's tallest building from One Canada Square in Canary Wharf and will dwarf Swiss Re's 180-metre tall headquarters, dubbed The Gherkin, which currently dominates the City skyline across the Thames."
