The first property of Okura Nikko Hotels to be inaugurated in Sichuan Province, aimed at further strengthening the company’s network of properties in China
Okura Nikko Hotel Management Co., Ltd., a subsidiary of Hotel Okura Co., Ltd., announced that it will open Hotel Nikko Chengdu Yixin Lake in October 2022. Chengdu, the capital of Sichuan Province, is a new first-tier city in China and host to many of the world’s leading companies. The company has contracted with Aerotropolis City Development Group Co., Ltd. to manage the new property through its joint venture BTG Nikko International Hotel Management Co., Ltd.
Known as “the country of heaven and land of abundance“ since ancient times, Chengdu is famous for its mild climate and abundant food cultivation, making it a comfortable place to live. In recent years, it has been increasingly seen as the one of the most important cities in southwest China.
The hotel will be located in the Tianfu Yixin Lake development area in the Shuangliu district, about 20 km from the center of Chengdu. Part of an urban development project, the 8.4 square kilometer plot of land will be divided into four areas with residential, educational, medical, commercial, sports and office facilities surrounded by greenery and lakes. The hotel will be located in the business zone, a central feature of the development project. In the future, five subway lines are planned that will cross the development area, improving access to the city and the airport.
The new hotel will feature 303 guest rooms with a standard area of approximately 45 square meters, including suite rooms. In addition to Japanese and Chinese cuisine, all-day dining and a lobby bar lounge, there will be banquet halls, conference rooms, fitness facilities and an indoor swimming pool, supporting a wide range of business and local customer needs.
Toshihiro Ogita, President, Okura Nikko Hotel Management Co., Ltd., commented, “We are very pleased to be opening our first hotel in Sichuan Province, China. The new hotel is aimed at strengthening the company’s network of properties in China. We hope to further raise awareness of our Okura Nikko Hotels brand in China.
Beautiful and ephemeral dancing of goldfish. Live performing arts of traditional Japanese dances. Fine feeling of the nature of subtle season transition.
The dynamism of life inspires this museum, fulfilling compellingly beautiful Japanese aesthetic.
Since putting myself in the world of Aquarium,I have met many fish in many countries. Because I have started my job from collecting marine fish from worldwide, I was attracted to the colorful beautiful fish which are natural grace of the sea. Of course I still have this feeling but since I started my activity as ART AQUARIUM artist, I have been deeply attracted to the mysterious beauty and the look of natural simplicity Goldfish (Kingyo) has.
When I come up with an art which is completed by putting fish inside, I inevitably tend to choose goldfish. The reason is probably because goldfish itself is an artwork created by human hand. As a person creating art, I believe I am attracted to art.
When I hold an exhibition as ART AQUARIUM artist, I always make Japonism area and express Japan with my artwork using goldfish. This is my attempt as Japanese and as sending new art from Japan to the world. Thankfully, this Japonism artwork and space always get high reputations. I am so delighted to be able to hold exhibition in various places with these artworks. Through my Japanese like artwork, I am able to tell Japanese culture to many people.
I am producing the exhibition, always hoping that people will experience the Aquarium sublimating as art and feel the message put inside. The ART AQUARIUM I create is fusion of product, space design, direction and ecosystem in the Aquarium tank. Beyond the technology to catch people’s heart, there lies natural beauty this earth has created. goldfish is created by human hands but there is no doubt that it is in the providence of nature.
I hope from the encounter with my artwork, people will be able to feel a “small notice”, wanting to protect beautiful thing.
Greeting from ART AQUARIUM Artist, Hidetomo KIMURA
Total number of properties in Myanmar increases to nine with agreements for hotels in Mandalay and Hpa-An.
Centara Hotels & Resorts, Thailand’s leading hotel operator, signs Hotel Management Agreements (HMAs) with three new hotels in Myanmar.
The HMAs cover management of three hotels developed by SL International Construction Co., Ltd., including Centra by Centara Hotel Thiri Hpa-An, Hpa-An Hilltop Resort & Spa, and Centara Hotel Mandalay.
In the last 12 months, Centara has inked management deals for a total of nine Myanmar properties, including the latest signings with SL International Construction.
Established in 2019 as an office and residential construction firm, SL International Construction is headed up by a team of professional engineers and project managers committed to excellent building work completed to high international industry standards.
Opening first in 2021 is Centra by Centara Hotel Thiri Hpa-An, a 77-key hotel nestled against one of Hpa-An’s legendary karst mountains and featuring two F&B outlets, outdoor swimming pool, fitness centre, and meeting facilities.
The largest city of Kayin State, Hpa-An is a picturesque town known for its stunning limestone karst mountain scenery, emerald rice fields, tranquil lakes, and the fascinating Saddan Cave, filled with pagodas and Buddha statues. Travellers can reach Hpa-An overland from the western Thai city of Mae Sot, a journey now taking just three hours via the new road connecting Kawkareik to Myawaddy on the Myanmar side of the border. Opening in 2022 a short 20-minute away from Centra by Centara Hotel Thiri Hpa-An is Hpa-An Hilltop Resort & Spa, which will be managed under the Centara Boutique Collection brand of upper upscale and individual boutique hotels. The new-build resort will feature 60 guest rooms and bungalows, two F&B outlets, a spa, kid’s club, fitness centre with swimming pool, and a guest entertainment centre. A glass-bottomed skydeck will offer 360-degree views across the town’s unique natural landscape.
In 2024, Centara Hotel Mandalay will open as part of a mixed-use project which will also include a shopping mall, office and casino. The 200-room hotel will feature three restaurants, meeting facilities, fitness centre with swimming pool, and guest recreational facilities.
“As we continue to expand into exciting destinations such as Myanmar, a beautiful destination with great tourism potential, we look forward to showcasing our Thai hospitality and family values on a wider international stage. For this project, we are very happy to be working with SL International Construction, a partnership which I trust will contribute positively to the tourism of the country,” said Thirayuth Chirathivat,CEO of Centara Hotels and Resorts.
Centara has signed management deals with six hotels this year so far outside of Thailand, including the three Myanmar properties, as well as one in Oman, and two in Vietnam. The latest signings add 337 keys to the group’s portfolio now totalling 17,154 keys across 81 properties.
Since embarking on its journey of international expansion in 2009 with a debut overseas property in the Maldives, Centara has continued to strengthen its international presence. Almost 50 percent of Centara properties are now outside Thailand, the group’s country of origin, as they continue to grow into a truly global hospitality group.
