The Carlson Rezidor Group and CUTC Chongqing Easpring Hot Spring Development are teaming up to create the Radisson Blu Resort Chongqing BeiBei in the Chinese region known for its hot springs and natural beauty.

The 280-bedroom new build hotel will be part of a mixed development called Yishang Mountain Hot Spring Town in Chongqing, which includes a hot spring and spa, luxury residences, commercial space plus leisure facilities. The completion date has not yet been revealed.

The hotel itself will have three restaurants, a lobby lounge and bar, a variety of meeting spaces, a fitness centre, spa and an indoor swimming pool.

A record 288m people visited Chongqing in 2012 and the government is revamping the tourist infrastructure to boost arrivals, which will inevitably have a desirable effect on business, according to the Carlson Rezidor Group.

“Chongqing has emerged as one of China’s leading megacities and we are proud to be a part of its development as a tourism destination in southwest China,” said Thorsten Kirschke, president of the Asia Pacific branch of the Carlson Rezidor Hotel Group. “This new deal underlies our strong commitment to China and strategic penetration of anchor markets in Asia Pacific.”
