China: Home2 Suites by Hilton has made its debut with an extended stay hotel in Shenzhen.

Home2 Suites by Hilton Shenzhen Bao’an is the first of 1,000 planned hotels set to open in China as a result of a partnership between Hilton and Funyard Hotel Investment (Asia) Limited, a subsidiary of Country Garden.

“Having just opened our 500th hotel in Asia Pacific, we are thrilled to introduce this award-winning brand that builds on our position as the region’s fastest-growing global hospitality company. China is a strategic growth market for us, and with the robust demand for upper midscale hotels across the country, the launch of Home2 Suites by Hilton demonstrates our resilience and our commitment in introducing the right brands to meet our guests’ expectations,” said Alan Watts, president, Asia Pacific, Hilton. “We look forward to working closely with our partners at Funyard to realise our shared vision of providing travellers an extended-stay experience backed by Hilton in top-tier and emerging cities in China in the coming years.”

Ji Hongjun, CEO of Home2 Suites by Hilton China, said: “Funyard Hotels & Resorts is focused on delivering innovative hospitality experiences for modern Chinese travellers. Together with Hilton’s globally renowned expertise in hospitality and Funyard’s experience in the upper-midscale sector, we are committed to elevating the guest experience for a new generation of travellers, who desire to maintain their authentic lifestyles wherever their journeys take them.”
