Century LEAVES ITS MARK ON THE SILK ROAD

Century International Hotels marks its first venture and expansion into Central Asia with the soon to be opened Century Samarkand Hotel in Uzbekistan. The 140-room hotel is Century International Hotels’ first property in the recently created ‘Confederated Independent States’ (C.I.S.). Located in Samarkand City, it is close to the business district, government offices and shopping areas. Facilities include an exhibition hall, conference rooms, fully equipped business centre, restaurants and bars, sauna and swimming pool. In addition, tennis courts, a billiard hall, small casino and an outdoor dance area are planned.

Samarkand is one of the oldest cities and cultural centres of the world and a key stop on the famous ‘Silk Road’. Visitors are often fascinated by its Oriental edifices, especially the symbol of Uzbekistan — the Registan Square framed picturesquely by the three madrassah. Restored to its original splendour, this public square ranks first in Central Asia and among the greatest of all the grandiose and magnificent works of the Islamic world.

Century International Hotels currently manages 19 hotels and resorts in seven Asian countries - Hong Kong SAR, China, Vietnam, Malaysia, Indonesia, Singapore and the Philippines.
