The new Swissotel Changsah, to be opened in 2014
Swissôtel Changsha is planned to be a luxurious, five-star hotel, offering 400 expansive rooms and executive suites, together with a selection of five bars and restaurants, various recreational facilities including its trademark Purovel Spa, and more than 2,000 m² of business meeting room space.
The hotel will benefit from a prime location within Changsha’s Yuelu District, an affluent residential area noted for its pleasant natural environment, just 15km from downtown Changsha and 30km away from its international airport. Swissôtel Changsha will enjoy a spectacular setting on the banks of the Xiang River, and will offer easy walking access to Changsha City Government, Yuelu District Government and a planned metro station, which is also due to be completed by 2014.
Meinhard Huck, President of Swissôtel Hotels & Resorts, explains why Changsha is such an important location for the company:
“Changsha is one of the most important economic centres in the country, and as the ‘entertainment capital of China’ it is a year-round attraction for visitors. Swissôtel Changsha is another important step in our expansion in China, where we already manage several five-star hotels, and it is significant for the growth of our brand recognition in Asia.”
