The best-designed rooms go on show
The Shanghai Hospitality Design & Supplies Expo (HDE) taking place at Shanghai New International Expo Centre from April 26 to 29 has an added component this year – the 2018 Hotel Plus Mockup Room Show which, as the name implies, will display several well-designed hotel rooms, along with high-end boutique hotels.
“China's hotel industry is still booming and diversifying. The HDE provides a platform for hotel professionals to understand the market status quo and think about future developments,” said Mark Lu, Deputy General Manager of UBM Sinoexpo, the organiser.
Many domestic and foreign hotel groups will use the Mockup Room Show to introduce their new brands including Holiday Inn Express, a mid-priced hotel chain within the InterContinental Hotels Group family.
As an express hotel, it focuses on offering limited services at a reasonable price. Standard amenities lean toward the convenient and practical, which cater to business travellers and short-term stays. There are around 2,500 Holiday Inn Express hotels featuring over 250,000 rooms and 740 hotels under construction worldwide.
In 2016, InterContinental Hotels Group launched a new franchise model for its Holiday Inn Express brand in China. The new model, called Franchise Plus, is specifically tailored for the Chinese market and, the company claims, providing owners with all of the benefits of operating a franchise model, but with additional benefits and features from IHG's managed model.
In 2014, New Century Hotel Group was awarded the Top 60 Hotel Groups in China and ranked 27th among global hotel groups. The company manages more than 260 hotels and has more than 60,000 guest rooms across China.
New Century Hotel Group now covers numerous business and tourist cities and regions across China, including Beijing, Shanghai, Zhejiang, Jiangsu, and Anhui, as well as Frankfurt, Germany and Eindhoven, Holland. New Century Hotel Group provides guests with service that perfectly integrates oriental culture and international standards.
Fairfield by Marriott is a moderate selected business brand of hotels that creates flexible business space for the new generation of business people with the pursuit of efficiency and the quality of life.
Fairfield is Marriott’s second largest brand and is growing fast. It’s currently present in United States, Canada, Mexico and India, with more than 800 operating hotels. Fairfield strives to become the world leader in mid-scale hotel segment.
Every year, HDE invites the most influential hotel management companies and star designers to present well-designed display rooms of hotels and commercial properties, including InterContinental Hotels, Starwood, Hilton, Marriott International, Wyndham, BTG Hotels, New Century Hotel, Greenland International Hotels Group, Shimao, Huazhu Hotels Group, Eastern Crown, Wanda Hotels & Resorts, Jinling Hotel, Dossen International Group, Fairfield by Marriott and design institutes like Studio HBA, Woods Bagot, James TU , ICDL, Ling Zida, Cathy Wang, Kim Huang, Italy WT and Hong Kong DOMO.
