Hilton Hotels
has signed an agreement with Beijing Macau Development Company Limited to
manage the Hilton Wangfujing Beijing. Scheduled to open before the Olympic Games in 2008, it
will be the one of the newest deluxe hotel offerings in the renowned Wangfujing district, home to
World Heritage Site, the Forbidden City and historic landmark, Tiananmen Square.
“With its prime location, the Hilton Wangfujing Beijing will be a premier hotel for Hilton
Hotels Corporation in China and a symbol of our goal to build a nationwide presence in
China, across all market segments,” said Koos Klein, president Asia Pacific Hilton Hotels
Corporation.
“The Olympic Games are expected to energize an already booming tourist industry in
China,” Klein added. “Hilton Hotels Corporation will be well-positioned to serve its
guests through our existing Hilton Beijing, located on the Third Ring Road, as well as
two new hotels, the Hilton Wangfujing Beijing and Doubletree Beijing.”
Comprising 266 guest rooms, the Hilton Wangfujing Beijing will
offer a variety
of all-day dining and speciality restaurants, bars and lounges. Banquets
and meeting facilities will be state of the art to accommodate business travellers’ needs and Beijing
residents’ events and weddings. A full-service health club including a spa and swimming
pool will also be available. The Hilton Wangfujing Beijing will be a part of the new mixed
use luxury development, Macau Centre.
Easily accessible, the hotel is a 45-minute drive from the international airport. Within
close proximity to the Hilton Wangfujing lies Beijing’s new central business district, as
well as state ministries and Beijing’s Financial Street.
