Keep a little mystery in your trip planning: flip this switch on and Explorer Picture Mode shows a stylized version of every place instead of the real photo, so you can go by the description and reviews first and picture it your own way -- turn it off again any time, or reveal the real photo for just one place at a time from its own page.

Shangri-La Hotel
The initial hotel was constructed in 1896 for Prince Roland Bonaparte, who lived there for years. It now belongs to the famous Shangri-La Group, from 2006. Construction was made over the next four years, and in 2010, Shangri-La finally opened its doors for the public.
