Minor Hotels has expanded its portfolio of Oaks
Hotels and Resorts to China, with the opening of the brand’s first
property in Chengdu, the capital city of Sichuan Province.
The 197-room Oaks Chengdu at Cultural Heritage Park is
located adjacent to the previously launched sister property, the
Tivoli Chengdu as part of a new project in partnership with
Chengdu Qingyang Urban and Rural Construction Development.
Adding a total of 398 rooms between them in
categories ranging from deluxe rooms to suites and serviced
apartments, Tivoli Chengdu at Cultural Heritage Park and Oaks
Chengdu at Cultural Heritage Park occupy an area of nearly 110,000
square metres.
Situated on the south-west edge of the commercial
and convention hub of Chengdu International Intangible Cultural
Heritage Exhibition Park, the new development is in the western
part of Chengdu, in close proximity to Nancaoping Ecology Park and
the 18-hole Tianfu Golf Club.
The two properties are located 19 kilometres from
Chengdu Shuangliu International Airport, with excellent transport
links to key places of interest.
Nearby, guests can visit the
sprawling Giant Panda Breeding Research Base, indulge in high-end
shopping, explore traditional tea houses and hawker stalls, or
tour imperial burial sites and centuries-old temples.
“We are very excited to open the first Oaks in China in
partnership with Chengdu Qingyang Urban and Rural Construction
Development Company Limited. In addition to being the economic,
commercial and financial centre of Southwest China, Chengdu is one
of the world’s fastest-growing tourist destinations, making it the
perfect launchpad for the brand in China,” said Mr. Xu Zhebin,
General Manager of the complex.
The dual properties offer three F&B options, as
well as 5,388 sqm of meeting and event space including a 2,275-sqm Grand Ballroom
that can accommodate up to 1,700 guests and a 3,650-sqm
lawn for outdoor weddings and themed events.
Wellness facilities include a spa with seven
treatment rooms, a children’s club, relaxation
lounge, bathhouse with a Himalayan salt steam room, 858-sqm heated
indoor swimming pool with natural lighting, a whirlpool,
children’s swimming pool, wet and dry saunas, and a fitness centre
with Life Fitness exercise equipment,
multi-functional strength trainers, and separate table tennis and
yoga rooms.
