It was designed by Wong Tung & Partners and managed by the Shanghai Jinjiang (Group) Associated Company. Deng Xiaoping and the United Nations Secretariat visited the building.
The hotel's name, Xin Jinjiang Dajiudian, ties it to the Jinjiang group that manages it through a Shanghai Jinjiang (Group) joint venture.
