JUMEIRAH Group, the Dubai-based luxury hospitality company and a member of Dubai Holding, has been appointed to manage a luxury hotel in the Yangtze River Delta tourism hub of Hangzhou, in China.

The 250-room, five-star luxury Jumeirah Hangzhou will have a prime location in the central business district of Qianjiang River New Town with easy access to the West Lake area, renowned for its natural beauty and rich cultural heritage.

Hangzhou is one hour’s train journey from Shanghai and is served by Xiaoshan International Airport.

The architects Skidmore Owings and Merrill have incorporated water terraces, bamboo groves and canals into the design of the property and guests will have access to numerous food and beverage outlets, a banquet and conference centre and extensive retail and shopping facilities in the vicinity.

The agreement between GT Land Holdings, developer of the property, and Jumeirah Group was signed at a ceremony held in Hangzhou and attended by Gerald Lawless, executive chairman of Jumeirah Group, and Su Meng, president of GT Land Holding.

Lawless thanked Meng for the confidence shown in Jumeirah Group as a hotel management brand. This is the second management agreement Jumeirah has signed with GT Land Holdings, following the Jumeirah Guangzhou project agreed in 2008. This brings Jumeirah’s total number of management agreements for projects in China to five in Shanghai, Guangzhou, Macau, Sanya and now Hangzhou. The company manages 35 properties in total.
