Mandarin Oriental Hotel Group has announced that it will manage a new hotel in Tianfu, a modern Business District south of Chengdu, the capital city of Szechuan province. Tianfu New Area is expected to become the future commercial center of Southwest China.
Mandarin Oriental Tianfu, Chengdu is due to open in 2028. The hotel will comprise 267 guestrooms and suites as well as a club lounge. Four restaurants and bars will provide a variety of cuisines, while significant meeting and event space will attract business and social gatherings. A Mandarin Oriental signature spa will provide a comprehensive range of beauty and massage treatments, and a fitness center with indoor swimming pool will expand the wellness offering.
The Central Business District of Tianfu sits approximately 15 miles south of the old city of Chengdu and is easily accessible from Chengdu’s two international airports, with links to the metro and high-speed rail. The hotel will sit in the primary development zone, comprising regional offices and headquarters of multinational corporations as well as international convention and exhibition venues. The overall district is being designed as a "Park City" with over 3,000 hectares of green space which will be within walking distance of the hotel. Adjacent to the hotel is a mixed-use development housed in the tallest skyscraper in Western China, featuring a top floor observation desk with food and beverage outlets, affording views of the city, and, in good weather, the Xiling snow mountains to the west.
“We are delighted to be part of this exciting project and to be extending the Group’s presence into western China. This development reinforces the Group’s commitment to building on our existing mainland China portfolio in Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Shenzhen and Sanya, along with properties currently under development in Hangzhou, Nanjing and Qianmen, Beijing.” said James Riley, group chief executive of Mandarin Oriental. “I am pleased to partner with the developer, China Overseas Land & Investment (COLI), especially given their assured commitment to sustainability, aligning with our own sustainability goals and objectives.”
