China: Luxury hotel group Corinthia has signed a deal with developer ShiLong Industry Co and investment platform The Geminus Group to open a hotel with residences in Chengdu, 2032.
Each of the hotel’s 150 traditional rooms and suites as well as 60 branded residences will offer a panoramic view of Chengdu. The tower is planned to rise 225 metres in the city’s high-tech Gaoxin District.
The project forms part of a larger master development currently under construction. Plans for the site include retail, residential, and commercial facilities with a total investment of approximately RMB 4.0 billion.
“Chengdu is a city of dynamism, creativity and cultural depth — qualities that resonate deeply with our own philosophy,” said Simon Naudi, group CEO of Corinthia. “With this project we are proud to introduce Corinthia to central China, creating a landmark destination that reflects the spirit of its setting while delivering the character and intuitive service that define our brand.”
Geminus chairman Anthony Bailey said: “Together with Shilong Group and Corinthia, we are pleased to be shaping Corinthia’s presence in central Asia, bringing the brand’s timeless, service-led craft into a place of extraordinary culture and character. Building on our strategic partnership with Corinthia, this project reflects our long-term commitment to China: setting a new benchmark for luxury — service-led, beautifully crafted and unmistakably rooted in place.”
It adds to Corinthia’s development pipeline which includes properties in Lake Como, Doha, Riyadh and Dubai, alongside resorts in the Maldives.
