SHANGHAI – Shimao Group has recently unveiled its novel concept hotel brand, MiniMax Hotel, following the initiation of its proprietary hotel branding program and debut of the first hotel under the proprietary MiniMax brand.
MiniMax Premier Hotel MiniMax Hotel was conceived with a focus on the latest trends and the new generation of consumers who dare to break traditional boundaries, targeting the young adult segment as its customer base. Specifically, MiniMax Hotel — a Mid-end Concept Hotel — targets fashionable young travelers who seek an unconventional travel experience, while MiniMax Premier Hotel — a High-end Concept Hotel — targets the segment seeking a high-quality hotel experience that stretches beyond the boundaries of the expected. The MiniMax Hotel overturns all traditional hotel concepts, combining the highest in quality with the most innovative of ideas, to offer a pleasurable experience incorporating an interactive, bold and exploring spirit.
“One of our core values is innovation, and we focus on being forward thinking in our exploration for new ideas across the hospitality ecosystem. MiniMax Hotel has identified the precise demographic that it seeks to target, and focuses on experiential services that not only meet the expectations of that demographic but also serve to create new ones. The hotel is expected to form novel hotel consumption habits and models,” said Robin Shen, VP of Shimao group and GM of Shimao Hotels and Resorts.
With a focus on simplicity, MiniMax Hotel leads the personalization trend
With a focus on “Mini” as the core design concept, MiniMax Hotel has created a high-end hotel brand incorporating natural and simple elements that differentiate it from traditional luxury hotels with sophisticated facilities that require huge investment but offer a low ROI. The hotel stands out among its peers across the Chinese hospitality sector by reinventing the concept of what a hotel should be through the hotel’s high level of personalization in design.
MiniMax highlights the interactive platform
Taking into account the dependence of today’s young consumers on smart systems, social media and e-commerce platforms, MiniMax Hotel integrates the end-to-end booking process through to the confirmation of the reservation with social networking and shopping into an interactive platform that allows for comprehensive interactive communication with the guest.

The hotel has been granted two stars according toChina’s Ministry of Construction’s Green Building Evaluation Standard as well as the US LEED Silver certification, making the MiniMax the first hotel inChina to receive both certifications.
