Look at this Beijing tower. It is side by side.
The Strategy of Shangri-La
Shangri-la wants to be one of the first 5 star hotels in many places, and they reserved enough land for expansion. When the time is ready, they build the second tower. The two towers are at different price - the newer one is more expensive, much more expensive.

I stayed at the Pudong Shangri-La while in Shanghai Christmas of 2000.
A very memorable experience.
