welcome the Sun Mountain Lodge into our growing portfolio of stunning hotels.
Each year we receive thousands of applications from hotels wishing to join our

selection criteria. This is testament to the high standards of accommodation
and service which we know will be achieved by Sun Mountain Lodge when it opens
in December. As with all our properties, Melco China Resorts focus on their
guests' total experience and the quality of the lodging facilities and resort
amenities under construction are exactly aligned with the standards our hotels
represent."
"The SLH brand not only places a premier mark of quality within our Sun

discerning customer network offered by SLH," commented Graham Kwan, CEO of
