KUALA LUMPUR, Aug 27 -- Okura Nikko Hotel Management Co Ltd, a subsidiary of Hotel Okura Co Ltd will open Hotel Nikko Chengdu Yixin Lake in October 2022.

“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,” said Okura Nikko Hotel Management Co Ltd President, Toshihiro Ogita.

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.

The hotel will be located in the Tianfu Yixin Lake development area in the Shuangliu district, about 20km from the centre of Chengdu, according to a statement.

Part of an urban development project, the 8.4 square kilometre 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.
