Langham Hospitality Group has been appointed to manage a new hotel in Jinan, the capital of Shandong province, under an agreement with Jinan Licheng District Quanfuhe Investment Development Co..
The property will be located in the Honglou area of Licheng District, a commercial zone with a mix of historic buildings and newer developments. Nearby sites include Hongjialou Cathedral, Shandong Provincial Library and the Shandong University campus, as well as retail and dining outlets. The area is also close to several of Jinan’s springs.
The hotel will comprise 286 rooms and suites on a site of about 35,000m². Its design is expected to reference both the brand’s heritage and local elements linked to the city’s springs.
Facilities will include multiple dining venues, including a branch of T’ang Court, a Cantonese restaurant within the group’s portfolio. Other amenities will include a bar, meeting and event spaces, and wellness facilities under the Chuan Spa brand.
The project is scheduled to open in 2029 and marks the group’s entry into Shandong province.
Chen Wenping, executive deputy general manager of Jinan Licheng District Quanfuhe Investment Development Co., said the project will draw on the district’s heritage, commercial activity and natural setting to serve both leisure and business travellers, while supporting the profile of the wider area.
“We are grateful for our partnership with Jinan Licheng District Quanfuhe Investment Development Co. and look forward to bringing The Langham Hotels and Resorts (The Langham) to Jinan, an increasingly important city that serves as the ideal starting point for our entry into Shandong Province,” added Bob van den Oord, CEO of Langham Hospitality Group.
