Pan Pacific to Open New Hotels in China

Pan Pacific Tianjin

The Pan Pacific Tianjin will be opened in 2013 by the Pan Pacific Hotels Group. This will be in addition to three other hotels scheduled for launch in Ningbo and Shanghai this year.

Offering panoramic views of Haihe River, the 330-room Pan Pacific Tianjin will form part of The Esplanade, a mixed-use development comprising residential apartments, a retail mall and an office tower.

The hotel will feature an all-day dining outlet, a Chinese restaurant and a lobby lounge. Facilities include an executive lounge, a business centre, an indoor swimming pool, a health club and spa, and several meeting and function spaces.

“Pan Pacific Tianjin marks our ongoing commitment to grow our brand footprint in China, a key growth market for the group,” said A. Patrick Imbardelli, president & chief executive of Pan Pacific Hotels Group.

The hotel chain will also open Pan Pacific Ningbo and Pan Pacific Serviced Suites Ningbo this June, while its Parkroyal brand will debut in China when the Parkroyal Service Suites Green City, Shanghai opens by end-2012.

Outside China, Parkroyal on Pickering, the flagship Parkroyal in Singapore will launch in November 2012. A serviced suites project is also slated to open in Singapore by year-end.

Meanwhile, Pan Pacific Singapore has released more details of its upcoming multi-million dollar facelift.

The extensive S$80 million (US$63 million) makeover for the 790-room hotel will see guest rooms, restaurants and the lobby undergo a major transformation. The highlight addition will be the 360-degree view Pacific Club on the topmost floor.
