Langham Hotels International (LHI) is opening a five-star hotel called the Langham Place Hotel in Changchun, north east China.
The 34-storey hotel – to be accommodated inside the existing Jinzuo Building – will comprise 350 bedrooms and 100 serviced apartments, a 3,000sq m (32,300sq ft) multi-purpose function space, including a ballroom, as well as four food and beverage outlets.
The hotel’s Chuan Spa and Residences facility will provide treatments based on Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) philosophies.
Changchun Jinzuo Real Estate Development will build the hotel, which will open in 2009.
K. S. Lo, chair of the hotel group, said: “The boom in the tourism and convention and exhibition industry in Changchun in recent years has spurred a strong demand for quality hotels.”
In May 2007, the group announced plans to build its first hotel in the country – the 26-storey Langham Place Hotel in the Chao Yang District of Beijing, which will also include a Chuan Spa and Residences.
Developer Union Land expects to open the establishment in 2009, as part of the Chao Yang Plaza development.
