In June, 2008, Xi’an will have a new hotel, Kempinski Hotel Xi’an; a part of Kempinski Hotels.

Kempinski Hotel Xi’an is very much a MICE hotel and is the official site of the bi-annual Euro-Asia Economic Forum.

It has state-of-art audio visual equipment and technology in its 1,400 sqm pillarless (very, very important attribute) ballroom, which can take up to 1,100 persons in theater style seating with separate room for the simultaneous interpretation.

Ten additional meeting rooms are available for small to medium size meetings and functions including the one-of-a-kind circular Rotunda conference room on the 5th floor which would be ideal for a meeting of equals like knights around a round table.

Because it is a new hotel it, but of course, has broadband internet connection, voice mail telephone, and a satellite TV channel in all 355 guestrooms and suites.

Later a spa and fitness center will be added plus a Paulaner Bräuhaus where you can rid of all that fitness immediately you have finished in the spa.

Kempinski Hotels is a luxury hotel group founded in 1897. Kempinski Hotels is the trading name for Kempinski Aktiengesellschaft which is an independent German delisted AG involved in a number of hotel and hospitality related businesses.

Normally we would never use as an illustration the picture at the top of the page of the staff looking pleased with themselves but this one is an exception. It is so genuine it bursts with enthusiasm.

Kempinski has opened the Kempinski Hotel Suzhou. Is set in a large estate which has the 27-hole Jinji Lake International Golf Course and a state guesthouse of five villas.

The hotel is surrounded by the scenery of Dushu and Jinji Lake. It is located 150 km from Shanghai’s Pudong International Airport and 90 km from Hongqiao Airport.

Hirsch Bedner Associates was commissioned for the interior design of the hotel.

The hotel has 381 rooms and 77 suites on 21 storeys, most of them overlooking either the lakes or the golf course. Wireless LAN is available everywhere.

This is a MICE hotel in that the meetings and banqueting facilities include one of the largest grand ballrooms in Suzhou covering 1,850 m2 and catering for up to 1,600 guests.

There are also eight meeting rooms starting from 100 m2 in size, and a state-of-the-art business centre.

There is, of course, a health center and an indoor swimming pool. Unusually — perhaps uniquely — it has indoor tennis and squash courts. The extensive spa facilities set to open towards the end of 2008 will include jacuzzi, sauna and steam rooms.

Kempinski Hotel Xi’an is set to open this May. It calls itself a ‘business hotel’ so it will have extensive MICE facilities including a 1,600 square meter ballroom. It is aiming to cater for the 450 plus trade fairs that are held in Xi’an every year and it is the offical venue for the bi-annual Euro-Asia Economic Forum.

It will have 355 guestrooms and for those who can’t resist a tune, a 3,000 square meter Kareoke entertainment area. The hotel is located right where the Chan and Ba Rivers cross each other in the Chanba Ecological District, northeast of Xi’an city.

The hotel just had a site inspection by four officials shown in the photo.
