Rendezvous makes its Marque in Shanghai
SYDNEY – Rendezvous Hotels & Resorts International has signed a management agreement for a new hotel to be built in Shanghai.
The 4-star, 200-room hotel will be named the Marque Hotel Yu Garden, Shanghai and is due to open in mid-2009.
This is the second property to be announced under the Marque brand in China, after the Marque Hotel, Guilin, which will open later this year.
The new hotel will complement Rendezvous’ existing property,
Rendezvous Merry Hotel, Shanghai which has operated since 2004.
Rendezvous chief executive, Alan Featherby, said, “This distinctive hotel will heighten the Rendezvous group’s presence and brand in China, placing us in a strong position to benefit from the lead-up to World Expo in Shanghai in 2010.
“We also have a number of other projects underway and plan to have at least 15 more hotels and resorts signed in the Asia Pacific region within the next 3 years.”
The hotel’s developer and owner, Shanghai Sin Tat Lee Property Development Company Limited, established in 1994, will incorporate the Marque Hotel Yu Garden, Shanghai into a 17 storey, multi-use complex, comprising three apartment buildings and a shopping mall on the podium levels.
