马来西亚企业界巨擘丰隆集团麾下享誉英伦的经典酒店品牌——Guoman Hotels，正式迈出了登陆亚洲的第一步。该品牌旗下的五星级奢华酒店——上海国丰酒店于当日隆重举行了题为“East Meets West”的开业典礼，丰隆集团主席郭令灿先生亲临现场，与丰隆集团及国浩中国核心领导层、上海市普陀区区委书记、各国驻上海总领事以及海内外各大主流媒体共同见证了这一盛事，亲身体验了英伦格调与中华风韵的精彩交汇。

Guoman Hotels于2004年创立，至今在英国拥有37家酒店。每家酒店均拥有独特的风格和怡人优雅的设计，在伦敦市区中心勾勒出别具一格的风景线。如今，Guoman Hotels以庞大的资金实力作为信心后盾，向国际市场开疆辟土，将其极富创意灵感的品牌精髓和奉献一流品质体验的服务主旨引入蓬勃发展的亚洲市场。而上海国丰酒店的加入，将为Guoman Hotels更添一笔浓重的东方色彩。

上海国丰酒店由来自英国Guoman Hotels的精英管理人士Michael Parker领衔，共拥有442间豪华客房，在各个细节上将原汁原味的英伦系典雅情调与现代亚洲风尚巧妙调配，呈上一味与众不同的英伦体验。汲取东方文化神韵的餐厅和酒吧，酒店自行配备的黑色载客车队，无不尽显英伦尊贵服务品质。

Guoman Hotels全球运营总监Sanjay Nijhawan称：“上海国丰酒店的开业，对于我们今后几年全面进驻亚洲市场的发展战略而言，是关键性的第一步。凭借集团的实力及其注重独特格调品位的待客宗旨，我们充分相信Guoman在亚洲市场上的投入将会获得绝佳的回馈，对于这一点我们非常乐观。Guoman向来以自成一体、注重设计的理念而著称，而我们此次落户上海，旨在一流地段打造出卓越的酒店。如同我们旗下的每一间酒店，上海国丰酒店将足具魅力与建筑奇趣。对Guoman来说，这的确是令人激动的时刻，我们将翘首期盼各位宾客的光临。”

Guoman Hotels, the renowned hotel brand under the leading Malaysia-based conglomerate, Hong Leong Group, has activated its strong international growth plan with the opening of Guoman Hotel Shanghai. The executive Chairman of Hong Leong Group, Tan Sri Quek Leng Chan, has witnessed this historical moment of this brand taking its very first step outside of London, together with the senior management of Hong Leong Group, the heads of GuocoLand China, Party Secretary of Shanghai Putuo District, General Counselors, as well as international and domestic mainstream media.

From its inception in 2004, the brand of Guoman has grown to a portfolio of four unique properties, in idyllic locations, presented in beautiful designs, including:  The Royal Horseguards, The Cumberland, The Tower and Charing Cross. It is now recognized as a deluxe collection of inspirational landmark properties in central London.

It is the first of two new properties to launch under the brand in Asia, the second venture being an equally spectacularly-designed hotel in Beijing. Following a substantial investment, the launch of the architecturally-stunning 442-room property sees the fledging Guoman group confidently spreading its wings overseas, transferring the group’s ethos of inspirational design and stimulating guest experiences to the flourishing Asian market.

Headed up by Michael Parker, formerly the general manager of one of the group’s London properties, Guoman Hotel Shanghai will honour its roots by creating a true flavour of London’s style and elegance blended with a contemporary Asian twist. Two floors of the hotel will be dedicated to premium Eastern-inspired restaurants and bars, with the touches of British indulgence seen in the fleet of luxurious Guoman-operated Black cabs on hand to transport guests round the city.

Speaking of the group’s first international development, Sanjay Nijhawan, chief operating officer international, Guoman Hotels commented: “The opening of Guoman Hotel Shanghai is the crucial first phase in our ongoing strategic growth across Asia in the coming years.  We’re very confident in the strength of the group and its focus on a stylish, unique guest experience – we’re positive that the Asian market will respond extremely well to the Guoman offering.

The Guoman collection has become renowned for its individual, design-focused properties and our introduction into Shanghai purposely reflects this reputation for providing distinctive hotels in first–class locations. Guoman Hotel Shanghai, like all our hotels, is full of charm and architecturally interesting.  It’s certainly an exciting period for the Guoman group and we very much look forward to welcoming our first guests.”
