JW Marriott Hotels & Resorts has opened the 416-room JW Marriott Hotel Zhengzhou in China’s Henan Province.
The new hotel is located on the top floors of the Millennium Royal Plaza, which is the tallest building in Central China. The JW Marriott Hotel Zhengzhou is the first Marriott property in Henan as well as the seventh JW Marriott hotel in the Greater China region.
“This is a significant property as it is our first hotel in Zhengzhou, which is an important transportation, business, and convention hub in central China,” says Simon Cooper, president and managing director of Marriott International Asia. “Also it is another proof of the growing popularity of our JW Marriott Hotels & Resorts brand in this market. We are on the course of opening new JW Marriott hotels in Macao, Chongqing, Kunming, and Shenzhen over the next 12 months.”
The Songyue Pagoda, a cultural relic that was built 1,500 years ago, inspired the design of Millennium Royal Plaza. The aluminum exterior’s sunscreens give the structure its pagoda-shape. The sunscreens also maximize the amount of daylight entering the building while reducing glare and solar heat gain. The hotel’s interior design reflects the hotel’s location with touches of bronze and pale green, which represent the jade artifacts the region is known for.
The new property additionally features 416 guestrooms and suites located from the 41st to the 55th floor as well as several dining options and event spaces.
