Kempinski has expanded its portfolio of hotels
in China with the opening of the Kempinski Hotel Yixing, in the
southern Jiangsu Province.
Yixing is one of the most culturally
significant cities in Chinese history, and is famous for its long
tradition of handmade zisha teapots, majestic bamboo forests and
mysterious caves. In addition, Yixing is the birthplace of
thousands of scholars and scientists.
Kempinski Hotel Yixing is
located on the banks of Lake Tai, one of China’s most famous
lakes.
The hotel offers 446 rooms and suites with lake views that
range in size from 40-397 sqm.
Rooms feature contemporary design
in a soothing colour scheme, flat-screen LCD TV, walk-in
rainforest shower, separate bathtub and high-speed internet
access, as well as automatic curtains and a high-tech lighting
system that adjusts the room’s rightness to the natural daylight
outside.
Guests on the Executive Floor (floors 57-59)
can enjoy exclusive access to the Executive Lounge, where
complimentary breakfast buffet, beverages, all-day snacks and
pre-dinner drinks are served.
Additional benefits and services
include complimentary laundry service upon arrival, complimentary
minibar, use of the Executive Lounge’s meeting rooms and priority
early check-in and late check-out in the private registration
area.
Kempinski Hotel Yixing offers a variety of dining
choices, including YuanYuan Chinese restaurant, where a wide
selection of Cantonese, Changzhou and local cuisine is available
for lunch and dinner.
Located on the 60th floor, Elements
All-Day Dining Restaurant offers guests 360-degree views of Tai
Lake and the city of Yixing. The culinary experience is
a global snapshot of cuisines, including Chinese wok and steam
baskets, Asian noodle station, Japanese sushi, sashimi and
Teppanyaki, as well as traditional European dishes.
Le Chai, one of the
first European wine bars in the city, introduces European wine
culture to the Chinese tea capital, allowing guests to fully enjoy
the best of both worlds.
To help maintain a healthy fitness regime while
exploring or carrying out business in the city, guests can take
advantage of the Wellness Centre, an oasis for body and spirit,
located on the fourth floor.
Situated in tranquil surrounds and
enveloped in a calming aroma, the Wellness Centre features a
wide range of facilities, including an indoor swimming pool (25 x
8 meters) with panoramic views of Lake Tai and sauna and steam
rooms. In addition, the outdoor terrace is a comfortable place to
relax and enjoy the fresh air.
Kempinski currently operates
19 hotels in China, and a new property is scheduled to open in
Beijing in 2014.
