Centrally located in this lively district will be the Park Park Beijing West on Chang An Boulevard. The 13-story hotel includes 300 guest rooms, each about 40 square meters, as well as a business center, gym, spa, banquet room and meeting rooms.

Carlson has doubled its presence in China in the last three years, and now manages nine hotels under the Regent, Radisson and Park Plaza brands.

A further six hotels are under development in addition to the Park Plaza Beijing West. Carlson has announced a partnership with top Chinese property developer Sunshine 100, which will see the portfolio more than double with hotels in cities such as Tianjin, Chongqing, Changsha, Shenyang, Yantai, Nanning, Liuzhou and Guilin.
