Shangri-La is a fictional place in Tibet's Kunlun Mountains, described in the 1933 novel Lost Horizon by English author James Hilton. Hilton portrays Shangri-La as a mystical, harmonious valley, gently guided from a lamasery, enclosed in the western end of the Kunlun Mountains.

Shangri-La Centre Ulaanbaatar is a mixed-use hotel and commercial complex located in Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia. The complex consists of three main buildings and a shopping mall, from which the Tower C completed in 2016 is the tallest building in Mongolia standing at 120 meters (390 ft) tall, being divided into 24 floors.

Shangri-La hotels, five-star deluxe properties featuring extensive luxury facilities and services, are located in Australia, Canada, mainland China, Fiji, France, Hong Kong, India, Indonesia, Japan, Malaysia, Maldives, Philippines, Singapore, Sultanate of Oman, Taiwan, Thailand, Turkey and the United Arab Emirates.

In this paradise, people live for hundreds of years and age very slowly. In addition, the cultural treasures and wisdom of the world are stored there, in anticipation of a future of peace on earth. Lost Horizon caught the popular imagination, and Shangri-La entered the lexicon as a term for “utopia.”
