Mövenpick Hotels & Resorts has signed two new hotels in Thailand and China in celebration of its 40th anniversary: a beach resort in Hua Hin, Thailand, and a hotel in Enshi City, China. 

The 250-room, 14-story Mövenpick Hotel Enshi is set to open this summer in the city’s business district. As the first 5-Star hotel in the city, the hotel will feature a contemporary design throughout its two restaurants, bar, club lounge, 5,500-square-foot ballroom, eight meeting rooms, pool, spa and fitness center.
“This will be our first opening in China, marking an important milestone for our company,” says Andreas Mattmüller, COO for Mövenpick Hotels & Resorts, Middle East and Asia. “Chinese consumers regard Swiss products and services as refreshingly different and we are looking forward to leveraging our Swiss roots and culinary legacy to carve a unique niche in this fascinating country,”
The signing of the 190-room Mövenpick Resort & Spa, Hua Hin will add to the company’s portfolio of eight Thai hotels-which are expected to open within the next three years.
As part of Mövenpick Hotels & Resort’s global strategy, the two signings add to the brand’s plans to open 100 hotels globally by 2015.
