Shangri-La Hotels and Resorts is to open two new hotels in the Jiangsu province of China.
It will open the 670-room Shangri-La Hotel, Nanjing and the 371-room Shangri-La Hotel, Yangzhou in 2012.
The two Jiangsu province hotels will join the group's existing six hotels in the Yangtze River Delta and two further projects in Shanghai opening in the next two years. By 2012, Shangri-La will operate 10 hotels in the region, the company said.
“Shangri-La has operated hotels in the Yangtze River Delta for over 25 years, and previously managed a hotel in Nanjing. We know the region and the city well and have decided to invest into its future with our own development. We look forward to bringing back Shangri-La hospitality to Nanjing and introducing our distinctive service to Yangzhou," said Greg Dogan, president and CEO of Shangri-La International Hotel Management Limited.
Shangri-La Hotels and Resorts claims to be the largest luxury hotel group in mainland China with six Shangri-La hotels located in the Yangtze River Delta.
In addition to the projects in Nanjing and Yangzhou, Shangri-La will open its second hotel in Shanghai, the Kerry Hotel Pudong, in December 2010 and its third in the city, the Jingan Shangri-La, Shanghai in 2012.
