POSTED 10 Sep 2013 . BY Tom Anstey
Mövenpick is planning to open up four more locations in China by 2015
Mövenpick Hotels Resorts has opened the first international five star hotel in the city of Enshi, China.

The 240-bedroom Mövenpick Hotel Enshi, is located in the city’s business district and features a fitness centre and houses the Flower Spa, which offers nine treatment rooms, including five couple’s rooms and relaxation area. Also included are steam baths in addition to a hair and beauty salon. The spa uses locally produced products and offers a selection of massages, facials, manicures, pedicures, beauty treatments and reflexology treatments.

The hotel has a 515sq m (5,500sq ft) ballroom, a banquet hall that can fit 250 diners, eight meeting rooms and a private club lounge.

“By 2020, China is poised to become the world’s most visited tourism destination and the largest outbound travel market,” said Jean Gabriel Peres, president and CEO of Mövenpick Hotels & Resorts. “Establishing a new five-star hotel in Enshi is a significant step forward for showcasing the Mövenpick brand to a new generation of Chinese travellers.”

Enshi is the first of four new Mövenpick hotels planned to open in China before the end of 2015.
