Dubai (United Arab Emirates), February 25, 2013— Mövenpick Hotels & Resorts has embarked on a journey to celebrate its 40th anniversary this year with the signing of two new hotels in China and Thailand. The upscale hotel company of Swiss heritage is to open a new beach resort in Hua Hin, Thailand, and a 250-rooom hotel in Enshi City, China.
“The Mövenpick Hotel Enshi will be our first opening in China, marking an important milestone for our company. Chinese consumers regard Swiss products and services as refreshingly different and we are looking forward to leveraging our Swiss roots and culinary legacy to carve a unique niche in this fascinating country,” said Andreas Mattmüller, chief operating officer for Mövenpick Hotels & Resorts, Middle East and Asia.
The new 14-storey, five-star Mövenpick Hotel Enshi is set to open this summer and will be based in the heart of the business district of Enshi City, Hubei Province located in Central China. The property will be situated just 2.5 kilometres from the airport and a short drive from stunning countryside that includes the spectacular Enshi Grand Canyon.
