Hyatt Regency Chongqing Opens in China

---

The Hyatt Regency brand is now open for business in the booming Chinese city of Chongqing.

Hyatt Hotels Corporation recently opened Hyatt Regency Chongqing in Southwest China as part of a large-scale mixed-used commercial development.

Catering to both business and leisure travelers, Hyatt Regency Chongqing is strategically located in the bustling business corridor of Jiangbei District, the new central business district in Chongqing, which is 20 minutes away from all the major commercial and industrial zones, and a 15-minute drive to the new Chongqing International Expo Centre, the largest exhibition center in Western China and the second largest in China.

The new hotel, situated in the middle of the increasingly popular shopping area of Bei Cheng Tian Jie (known as 'Paradise Walk'),is part of a new mixed-use development combining high-end offices, luxury shopping and various dining and entertainment experiences.

Chongqing is one of the four municipalities in China (the other three are Beijing, Shanghai and Tianjin), and is the largest and the only one located inland. Since it was founded 3,000 years ago, Chongqing has been one of the most notable places in China for fascinating history and culture.

Every year, millions of domestic and international visitors come to the area and explore the stunning scenery of the Three Gorges among many other attractions the city has to offer. Today, Chongqing also serves as the economic center of the upstream Yangtze area and major manufacturing base and transportation hub for Southwest China.

"The strategic move to bring the Hyatt Regency brand to the metropolis of Chongqing is another milestone in Hyatt's development in China. We are very pleased to introduce and deliver our authentic hospitality to this bustling market, and look forward to welcoming guests from Chongqing, China, and all over the world in the coming months and years," said Larry Tchou, Managing Director, Hyatt Hotels & Resorts - Asia Pacific.

Hyatt Regency Chongqing features 321 well-appointed guestrooms and suites, many of which feature panoramic views over the Paradise Walk, and are equipped with the modern amenities to meet the needs for today's business and leisure travelers.

The spacious and opulent Chairman Suite and Presidential Suite along with 37 other suites are elegantly designed to accommodate the most discerning travelers.

Additionally, Hyatt Regency Chongqing features a variety of innovative restaurants and bars, fitness center, 10 luxury spa suites at the Heng Spa and more than 20,100 square feet of flexible function space.
