Langham Hospitality Group (LHG) has signed management agreements for three hotels in Xiamen Seaworld, a mixed-use development by China Merchants Group (CMG) perched on the western shore of Xiamen’s main island.
The hotels, which open in 2025, will each showcase a different brand from LHG’s portfolio. The selected brands include The Langham Hotels & Resorts, Cordis Hotels & Resorts, and Ying’nFlo, which serve the luxury, upscale and midscale segments respectively.
The properties will join the group’s existing hotel in Xiamen, the Langham Place, and take the total number of LHG hotels in China to 20.
Xiamen Seaworld is CMG’s first Seaworld complex to be built outside of Shenzhen. The plot itself sits in a well-situated part of Dongdu Free Trade Zone that affords the two towers to house the hotels with unobstructed ocean views and expansive vistas of nearby Huweishan Park.
The Langham, Xiamen, Seaworld will occupy the larger of the towers, featuring a sky lobby that occupies the hotel’s top floor, a 880m2 ballroom, meeting rooms, F&B, and spa.
Located in the second of the two towers are Cordis, Xiamen, Seaworld and LHG’s first mainland China branch of Ying’nFlo. Facilities at Cordis comprise a 543m2 ballroom along with 755m2 of meeting venues – guests of The Langham and Cordis will benefit from a reciprocal arrangement that permits use of both hotels’ ballroom and event venues.
The Ying’nFlo hotel will include adaptable furniture and digital technology features, and guests can mingle, work or relax at the property’s signature House of Ying’nFlo open space, which will be the largest of its kind anywhere.
LHG CEO Bob van den Oord said: “The Langham, Cordis and Ying’nFlo will serve as iconic additions to Xiamen Seaworld, a visionary complex that we are proud to be part of. They will also bolster our presence in a wonderfully vibrant city that continues to show great promise.”
