Wild-caught Alaska salmon, whitefish varieties and shellfish mature at a natural pace, and swim freely in the pristine waters off Alaska’s rugged 34,000-mile coastline.

Alaska Halibut has earned its well-deserved reputation as the world’s premium whitefish, and is a natural for a variety of signature dishes and attractive plate presentations.

Marking the completion of the first phase of a multimillion-dollar renovation, Shangri-La’s Kerry Centre Hotel, Beijing is rebranded as Kerry Hotel, Beijing.
