Swissotel expands in China with new hotel
Swissotel Hotels & Resorts is expanding its holdings in China with a new deluxe hotel being built in Changsha, the capital of Hunan Province, the transportation hub of south-central China. Swissotel Changsha will be part of a mixed-use development featuring an office tower, and is scheduled to open in 2014.The hotel will have 400 rooms and suites, five restaurants and bars, meeting and banquet facilities and a Purovel Spa.
Swissotel President Meinhard Huck said Changsha is one of China's most important economic centers and that the new hotel is "another important step in our expansion in China where we already manage several five-star hotels."
Over the next four years, other Swissotel expansions include hotels in Russia, India and Turkey.
