It's apparently open now, though you certainly wouldn't know it from their website. Picked a few random dates, and it appears rooms are starting around 1800RMB. I feel like this is perhaps an attempt to compete with the Andaz property in Xintiandi, but absent more details, it's really hard to tell.

In the last year alone, the brand made its debut in Chennai, India; the Blue Mountains, Australia; and Jakarta, Indonesia.

“The opening of Twelve at Hengshan marks the latest milestone for The Luxury Collection as we continue our journey to open a record number of hotels and resorts in Asia Pacific in 2012,” said Paul James, global brand leader for The Luxury Collection, St. Regis Hotels & Resorts and W Worldwide.

Edit: Some more details and a brief trip report over in the SPG forum. Not terribly impressed, though the location is nice-ish.
