28 December 2022, Shanxi, China, and Singapore – Seven months after inking its partnership agreement with Shanxi Xiaohe Xincheng Hotel Co. Ltd, Wyndham Hotels & Resorts today announced the opening of three new hotels in the heart of Shanxi province, China: Wyndham Grand Shanxi Xiaohe Xincheng, Wyndham Shanxi Xiaohe Xincheng and La Quinta by Wyndham Shanxi Xiaohe Xincheng.
Located next to Xiaohe International Convention and Exhibition Centre and offering a host of professional meeting facilities and amenities for business travelers and conference participants, the three hotels enhance Wyndham’s presence in China by more than 1,000 rooms.
Situated 32 kilometers from Taiyuan Wusu International Airport (TYN), the Xiaohe International Convention and Exhibition Centre is the largest and most advanced meeting space in Shanxi province. Heavily leveraging green construction technologies, the Centre features close to 70,000 square meters of solar panels on its roof, generating approximately 8.4 million kilowatt-hours of electricity a year and lighting more than 650,000 square meters convention space, in addition to electric vehicle chargers.
Shanxi Province saw its GDP grow by 5.3 percent in the first 3 quarters of 2022, the highest rate amongst all provinces, according to recent data released by the local government. The expanding economy bodes well for hoteliers as business owners and the government work to further establish Shanxi as a travel destination.
A global leader in hospitality with a proven track record in China, Wyndham has strong expertise and a deep understanding of the country’s many local markets. The Company currently franchises 14 of its 24 brands across China with approximately 30% of new signings coming from repeat owners, a strong indicator of the trust and confidence that partners have in Wyndham.
Joon Aun Ooi, President, Asia Pacific, Wyndham Hotels & Resorts shared, “China remains a key strategic growth market for Wyndham, and we continue to see opportunities to grow our portfolio throughout the country. We are very honoured to participate in this transformational township project with Shanxi Xiaohe Xincheng Hotel Co. Ltd and are thankful for the confidence and trust that the Government and our partners have in us.”
He added, “This outstanding achievement is a testament to Wyndham’s ability to operationalize and deliver each project with excellence, all while showcasing our team members’ commitment to Wyndham’s ‘Owner First’ mentality. To open these hotels in such a short period speaks volumes and I have no doubt these newest offerings will further enrich Shanxi as a destination for many years to come.”
Bill Wang, Chief Development Officer, Greater China, Wyndham Hotels & Resorts added, “The Shanxi Xiaohe Xincheng project introduces to Shanxi a collection of three of Wyndham’s most iconic brands. This is a relatively rare large-scale project in recent years for us in Greater China, with over 280,000 square meters of land. The successful opening of these hotels reflects the grit the owners and Wyndham Hotels & Resorts have displayed against a challenging 2022. It’s a great way to wrap up the year.”
Leader of Shanxi Xiaohe Xincheng Hotel Co. Ltd shared, “Under the effective guidance from the project’s development and construction team over the last seven months, the time has come for us to unveil the transformation of a new city with the highest build quality and service standards.”
