GUANGZHOU, China & MCLEAN, VA – Hilton Worldwide today announced the opening of Hampton by Hilton Guangzhou Zhujiang New Town, its newest Hampton by Hilton hotel and flagship property for the brand in China.

Hampton by Hilton Guangzhou Zhujiang New Town is located in the Tianhe District, Guangzhou, Guangdong Province, China and is managed by Huanpeng Hotel Management (Guangzhou) Limited.

โ€œChina is the 20th country that Hampton has entered, and for the city of Guangzhou, it is not only a strategic city and the โ€˜south gateโ€™ of China, but is also the center of politics, economy, science, education and culture of Guangdong Province and the Pearl River Delta. We are especially happy that Hampton by Hiltonโ€™s flagship hotel has opened in Guangzhou and are confident that the hotel will contribute positively to the development of Guangzhouโ€™s tourism industry,โ€ said Phil Cordell, global head, Focused Service and Hampton Brand Management, Hilton Worldwide. โ€œIt represents a breakthrough for Hamptonโ€™s development in the China market. With a strong partner like Plateno Group, I have every confidence that the brand will achieve a similar success as in the United States.โ€

Hampton by Hilton Guangzhou Zhujiang New Town is conveniently located at the intersection of bustling Zhujiang New Town central business district and the popular Tianhe Sports Center business zone. Close to the Guangzhou business and financial hubs such as the Guangzhou International Finance Center, Citic Plaza, Pazhou Complex and the Guangzhou East Railway Station, the hotel offers easy access to the cityโ€™s most popular leisure, shopping and entertainment venues. Fully taking into consideration the demands of business travelers and families with kids, the hotel focuses on creating an easy, enjoyable, and relaxing atmosphere that leaves guests feeling like they are staying with a friend.

โ€œPlateno Groupโ€™s collaboration with Hilton Worldwide is in line with our business strategy and is aligned with our values of focusing on our customersโ€™ needs,โ€ said Alex Zheng, chief brand architect, Founder and Chairman President of Plateno Group. โ€œIn 2015, Hampton by Hilton was warmly welcomed by investors and travelers. With the opening of Hampton by Hilton Guangzhou Zhujiang New Town, we have opened a new chapter and more than 10 Hampton hotels are scheduled to open this year alone,โ€ he added.

At the hotelโ€™s grand opening a special guest was introduced to mark the occasionโ€”Hamptonโ€™s Mascot in China, โ€œLittle Hamptonโ€. Little Hampton was designed based on Chinaโ€™s cute and friendly โ€œNational Treasureโ€, the panda โ€“ symbolizing the brandโ€™s core valuesโ€”โ€œFriendly, Authentic, Caring, Thoughtfulโ€.
