Hong Kong-based New World Hotels has signed an agreement with Henan Shengrun Group to manage New World Zhengzhou Hotel, opening 2015.
New World Zhengzhou Hotel will be located in west Zhengzhou, only five minutes from city government offices. As part of a complex including office buildings, residences and a shopping mall, the hotel will feature 300 guestrooms, a ballroom and meeting rooms, gymnasium and swimming pool. Dining options will include a Chinese restaurant, all-day dining café and lobby lounge.
Zhengzhou is the capital and largest city of Henan Province in north central China, serving as its political, economic, technological, and educational centre. Due to rapid industrial growth and careful city planning, Zhengzhou is recognised as becoming one of the most dynamic inland China cities. With major railway, road and aviation networks, it is also increasingly attracting domestic and international investment.
“Establishing a deluxe New World Hotel in Zhengzhou will strategically further our China expansion plans, giving us a foothold in a location destined for significant growth,” says Sonia Cheng, chief executive officer for New World Hospitality, the New World Hotels management company. “We are very gratified to join with Henan Shengrun Group which has a strong commitment to developing a world-class hotel in this location.”
“We are very pleased to partner with New World Hotels, which has demonstrated not only a thorough appreciation for the city, but also the highest standards of international hotel management,” says Li Xipeng, chairman of Henan Shengrun Group. “We strongly believe this venture will substantially enhance Zhengzhou’s appeal as a destination for both business and leisure travellers.”
