New brands and resorts make their way to Asia in the coming years, according to recent announcements from the InterContinental Hotels Group.

The luxury boutique hotel brand Kimpton Hotels & Restaurants makes its debut in Asia with three new properties in Southeast Asia and Greater China. The first opens in 2019, as the Kimpton Bali, with 50 villas on the Nusa Dua coast. The others open in 2021. The Kimpton Shanghai Jing’an offers 150 guestrooms and 120 villas, while the Kimpton Resort Sanya Haitang Bay includes 251 guestrooms and direct beach access.

“The Asia Pacific region has always attracted travelers who are eager to discover something new and fully immerse themselves in both the destination and local culture. We believe our approach to heartfelt care is unparalleled and with this development milestone, look forward to welcoming those seeking a highly personal approach to boutique luxury,” said Mike DeFrino, CEO, Kimpton.

The wellness and lifestyle brand EVEN Hotels heads to Greater China with four properties in Shanghai, Sanya, Chongqing and Jinan. The first opens in 2019, in Sanya, often called the Hawai’i of China. The property boasts 134 guestrooms and 92 villas. Next come properties in Shanghai and Jinan, in 2020. The former is located in the Shanghai Tourism Zone, offering easy access to Disneyland. The latter is in the capital city of Shandong Province, with nearly 300 guestrooms in total. Lastly, the 250-guestroom EVEN Hotel Chongqing Central Park opens in 2022 as part of a sports-themed complex and development zone.

“Around the world, we know that there is growing consumer demand for wellness-focused travel, including in Greater China, where there is a big opportunity for us to meet this need with EVEN Hotels. Since debuting in the United States, the brand has resonated strongly with guests and owners, in what is a such a unique segment. We are delighted to continue our international expansion of EVEN Hotels in some key locations, and I look forward to working closely with our owners, to build on our strong track record of growing brands in Greater China,” said Keith Barr, CEO, IHG.

The four resorts planned for Southeast Asia include the previously mentioned Kimpton Bali, but also the InterContinental Sapa Resort, Holiday Inn Resort Sapa and Hotel Indigo Phu Quoc Starbay.

“It’s fantastic to be bringing new brands to new markets with new and existing partners as we continue to drive scale and brand preference as part of our global strategy. Resorts provide a halo effect to our brands, attract high value global travelers and enable our guests to explore new destinations,” said Rajit Sukumaran, chief development officer, Asia, Middle East and Africa, IHG. “With these four new resorts signings, we are excited to be expanding our resorts portfolio and delighted to bring the first Kimpton Hotels & Restaurants in Southeast Asia to a great resort location.”
