THE opening of luxury Rosewood Hotels & Resorts’ first property in Beijing in the first quarter will provide corporates and meetings planners a new sophisticated option.
Marc Brugger, managing director of Rosewood Beijing, told TTGmice e-Weekly that the hotel was specifically targeting corporate clients in art, fashion, music and the movie industry.
“We are also targeting those in design, advertising, innovation and the like, clients who are looking for and enjoy a space that is filled with art and culture which inspires them to create,” Brugger said.
“We are going after both domestic and international events but will mainly focus on the former. The domestic market is still very strong because the second- and third-tier cities are growing rapidly, and that is helping our business.”
According to Brugger, the 283-room hotel will offer more landscaped outdoor space than other luxury hotels in Beijing, with terraces, gardens and balconies integrated into the design of its restaurants, spa, recreational facilities, meeting and function areas.
Located in Chaoyang business district, opposite the iconic CCTV Tower, the hotel has 3,050m2 of meeting space, including a 767m2 pillarless ballroom and an adjacent 301m2 garden terrace.
In addition, The Pavilion is a venue with two areas that can be combined and comprises dining spaces, a bar, lounges and show kitchens. The 1,712m2 space can accommodate up to 160 guests.
The hotel has seven restaurants and lounges, and Sense Spa has six treatment rooms and five spa suites for overnight stays. Recreational facilities include an indoor swimming pool, gym and yoga studio.
Meanwhile, the group has just announced it will open the 229-room Rosewood Sanya in 2017 in Haitang Bay, southern Hainan. It is located within the integrated resort surrounding the International Finance Forum Convention Center, Sanya’s largest meeting facility, opening in 2015.
The 651m2 rooms will be among the largest in Sanya, and the hotel will also feature 61 residential villas in the 16-hectare resort.
The group will open Rosewood Chongqing in 2015.
