Swissôtel Hotels & Resorts has entered into an agreement with Hengli Management Co., Ltd to manage Swissôtel Hangzhou, a 400-room hotel being developed in China’s Zhejiang provincial capital. Expected to open in 2018, Swissôtel Hangzhou will join four Swissôtel properties already successfully operating in China and is now the hotel brand’s sixth property under development in the country, further expanding the Swissôtel footprint in this key growth market. In total, FRHI has 20 hotels open or in varying stages of development in China. Upon opening, Swissôtel Hangzhou will feature 400 well-appointed guestrooms, four contemporary dining outlets, a Pürovel Spa & Sport facility offering Alpine-inspired treatments and exercise programming, and approximately 21,500 square feet (2,000 m2) of meeting and function space. The development will also house 400 serviced apartments, which will be operated under the brand’s residential concept, Swissôtel Living.
