BEIJING – Accor this week launched a new era of luxury hotels in China with the official opening of Sofitel Wanda Beijing.
Accor Asia Pacific chairman, David Baffsky, said the launch of the Sofitel heralded a new era for the Sofitel brand in China:
“The Sofitel is set to become one of the hotel landmarks of Beijing and it will be a flagship for Sofitel in China.
“The opening will play a significant part in the evolution of the Sofitel brand, which is in the process of a significant upgrading programme that will see Sofitel positioned as one of the world’s leading luxury hotel brands.”
Sofitel Wanda Beijing is the 20th Sofitel in China and joins a network of over 180 Sofitels globally.
