By GlobalData“The signing with our partners at Shimao Group is a big leap forward for Hilton’s luxury portfolio, reflecting the optimism that we collectively have in China’s growing luxury travel segment.
Hilton and Shimao Group initially launched their partnership in 2011 and have since then launched nine hotels, including Hilton Wuhan Riverside and Hilton Yantai. Another Hilton hotel is set to open later this year.
“We are delighted to also be celebrating our 10th anniversary with Shimao Group this year. Together we are confident this partnership is positioned to set the standard for long-term strategic relationships between hospitality companies and critical ownership groups in China,” Watts added.
