Company to manage high-rise hotel in Chongqing
Shangri-La Hotels and Resorts announced it has signed agreement with Chongqing Guest House Co. Ltd. to manage a 469-key hotel in Chongqing, China, that is scheduled to open in late 2011. The new Shangri-La hotel will occupy the first 28 floors of a new 58-story skyscraper that will also house office and retail space.
Hong Kong-based Shangri-La said the hotel was designed by East China Architectural Design Institute and will be “contemporary yet classically styled.” The hotel will also be home to several restaurants, a spa/health club and meeting/banquet space.
Chongqing, in central-western China, has a population of about 30 million. “As one of mainland China's most robust economies and with the strong economic ties between Chongqing and Chengdu, where we already have the Shangri-La Hotel, Chengdu, it is a natural step for Shangri-La to open a hotel in Chongqing to further strengthen our presence in the region,” said Madhu Rao, managing director and chief executive officer, Shangri-La Hotels and Resorts.
