Hilton Worldwide (NYSE: HLT) and Hilton Hotels & Resorts today announced the opening of Hilton Urumqi, which also marks the brand's debut in Xinjiang, China. Xinjiang shares a border with Russia, India, Pakistan and other countries, contributing to the diversity of this province. It is also China's largest natural gas producing region. Hilton Urumqi is owned by Junfa Group and managed by Hilton Worldwide. This hotel will be the latest addition to Hilton Worldwide's Greater China portfolio of 57 operating hotels.
"As the capital of the spectacular province of Xinjiang, a gateway for transnational travel, as well as a hub for trade and cultural exchange, Urumqi is one of the most important cities in northwest China," said Bruce McKenzie, senior vice president, operations, Greater China & Mongolia, Hilton Worldwide. "Urumqi is a great location for the latest addition to Hilton Worldwide's China portfolio. With the opening of Hilton Urumqi, we have further extended our footprint in China and continue to demonstrate our strong commitment to this market."
The 383-room Hilton Urumqi is located in a landmark building in the Hongguang Hill CBD, close to the Hongguang Hill Ecological Tourism Garden and Xinjiang International Convention and Exhibition Center. The hotel also provides easy access to many forms of transportation that connect guests to business locations and popular attractions such as Xinjiang International Grand Bazaar, which is 10 kilometers away and TianChi (Heavenly Lake), which is 80 kilometers from the hotel.
"Urumqi is one of the largest cities in Western China and is a significant stop along the ancient Silk Road, leading to Central Asia and even as far as into Europe," said Rob Palleschi, global head, full service brands, Hilton Worldwide. "With a population of over three and a half million, and global recognition as a booming industrial city in its own right, the addition of Hilton Urumqi in this increasingly important destination marks an exciting milestone for the brand as we continue to deliver unmatched hospitality experiences for both business and leisure travelers."
While offering magnificent views of the province's stunning and diverse landscape, which includes snowcapped mountains and desert plains, Hilton Urumqi also offers guests tastefully-decorated rooms, each with a marble bathroom, with separate bath and rain shower.
