Accor Signs New Sofitel Hotel In China

　　Accor has expanded its portfolio of Sofitel Luxury Hotels in China, with the signing of a new 231-room hotel in the burgeoning city of Guiyang.

　　At 57 storeys high, the new Sofitel Guiyang, which is scheduled to open in 2014, will become one of the city’s tallest buildings.

　　Guiyang is the provincial capital of Guizhou Province as well as a major city in South West China, and has long been the manufacturing base of Mao Tai, a well-known Chinese liquor.

　　The hotel will feature three restaurants including a roof-top all day dining restaurant, two bars, a dividable ballroom, five meeting rooms of varying sizes, the group’s signature So Spa, fitness center So Fit, and a swimming pool. It will also have a Club Millesime executive lounge, complemented by a fully equipped business center, and 100 parking stalls.

　　Sofitel Guiyang is being developed by Guizhou Hunter Real Estate Development Co. Ltd. and is located in downtown Guiyang and housed in the upper and podium sections of the Guiyang International Financial Center.

　　Upon completion, the Sofitel Guiyang will be just a 30-minute drive away from Guiyang Longdongbao International Airport and a 20-minute drive away from the newly built convention center in Jinyang new district.
