The hotel industry in China has recently been abuzz with talk that Nanjing shall see up to 60 five star hotels opening their doors in the run up to the Youth Olympics in 2014.
Some fact is now beginning to emerge from the speculation and hearsay, with the announcement on 10th March by Fairmont Hotels & Resorts that their new property in China is set to open in Nanjing in late 2012.
As well as what the press release claims will be 371 spacious guest-rooms and suites, the hotel will offer the 1,800 square metro Willow Stream Spa, a pool and fitness facilities. Situated in Hexi New Town, the Fairmont shall occupy the 56 floor Jinao Plaza development, along with office space, retail and residential offerings.
Elsewhere in China, Fairmont’s presence includes the recently refurbished and iconic Fairmont Peace Hotel in Shanghai, Fairmont Beijing, Fairmont Yangcheng Lake in Kunshan and the Fairmont Haitang Bay Resort in Sanya (due to open in 2013).
