Olympic Winter Games Promotes Tourism in China

With China cemented as the host of the 2022 Olympic Winter Games (and making Beijing the first city to host both the winter and summer games), an influx of hotels are in development throughout the country.

The Olympics will take place in China’s capital city, as well as in the Hebei province, bringing with them a new high-speed rail line that will transport athletes, journalists and spectators quickly and comfortably. 

Along the route and in the surrounding areas, more than 670 new hotels, with 205,000 rooms, are in the works. Starwood’s Element hotel brand is planning the 200-room Element Chongli, slated in to open in summer 2017. 

Several luxury hotels – including Bulgari Hotel and two properties from Mandarin Oriental – are under construction in Beijing, and many more are being developed throughout China.
