Q- What is the Shangri-La Events Collection?
Located on Level One, overlooking the lush manicured terrace, Shangri-La Ballroom is an ideal venue for important meetings and banquet celebrations.

Q- When you say, “Revamped its meetings offering with the launch of the Events Collection”, what have been the latest additions/offerings?
This programme will offer meeting and travel professionals and any Golden Circle member the ability to earn elite status as well as earn and redeem points for groups, meetings, conferences and events across the Shangri-La Group.
The new meetings and events loyalty programme dovetails with Shangri-La’s “Loyalty Is” conversation and ongoing loyalty transformation, which aims to make Golden Circle one of the most attractive and meaningful hotel reward programmes. Event organisers can now earn Golden Circle points on all conferences, meetings and events as well as redeem points towards their future events and meetings or use them for leisure travel and unique culinary experiences.
Q- How is the programme aiming at providing a greater flexibility as well as rich personalization and experiential opportunities to planners?
Golden Circle Event Planner Rewards offers the highest level of rewards of any meetings and events loyalty programme. Planners can earn up to 40,000 Golden Circle Points on an event booking – the equivalent of 40 complimentary room nights. In addition, it is the only programme that allows members to earn double points for any subsequent meetings or events booked in the same calendar year.
One of the key pillars of the Events Collection is flexibility. To enable planners to enhance their events with added Shangri-La services – including everything from guestroom upgrades to airport transfers, coffee breaks to audio visual equipment – an automatic three per cent event credit is provided. Furthermore, up to 50,000 Golden Circle Points can be redeemed instantly against the event cost, which is unique in the industry.
Q- To become a “Golden Circle” member, what will be the key criterion and what will be the special privileges that these members will enjoy?
Golden Circle is Shangri-La’s uncompromising commitment to recognising guest loyalty. Created especially for Shangri-La’s most valued guests, Golden Circle is more than a frequent guest programme. The Golden Circle philosophy is simple: a continual improvement to create unforgettable experiences for you, our most valued guest.
The Golden Circle programme offers three membership levels: Gold, Jade and Diamond. Each level brings its own recognition and privileges that will make our guests feel right at home.
