Swissotel continues Chinese expansion
Swissôtel Hotels & Resorts is to extend its portfolio in China with a luxury hotel in Changsha, the capital of Hunan Province.
The resort is set to have 400 rooms and suites as well as five restaurants and bars and more than 2,000sq m of meeting and banqueting space.
Opening at the end of 2014, facilities at the hotel include a Pürovel spa - the hotel group's recently launched full-service wellness offer.
The Pürovel Spa centres use natural materials and resources such as stone, wood, water and flowers as a reminder of the pure and natural mountain air of the Swiss Alps. To read more about the Pürovel brand, which launched last year, click here for Spa Business issue 3/2011.
The Swissôtel Changsha will be just steps away from a new metro station, which will be operational in 2014, connecting the eastern and western parts of the city.
The resort will be part of a mixed-use development featuring an office tower.
Meinhard Huck, President of Swissôtel Hotels & Resorts said: "Changsha is one of the most important economic centres in the country, and as the 'entertainment capital of China' it is a year-round attraction for visitors.
"Swissôtel Changsha is another important step in our expansion in China, where we already manage several five-star hotels, and it is significant for the growth of our brand recognition in Asia."
