Starwood Hotels & Resorts Worldwide, Inc. has announced the opening of its first dual-branded ski resort complex in Changbaishan, China. Owned by Dalian Wanda Group, Sheraton Changbaishan Resort and The Westin Changbaishan Resort are adjacent to the slopes of the Changbai Mountains, one of China's leading ski areas and famed resort destinations.
The highly anticipated opening marks Starwood's first ski resorts in the Asia Pacific region, and further lengthens the company's footprint as the largest international luxury and upper upscale hotel operator in China. The company recently celebrated 103 hotels in operation in China, with another 100 hotels underway.
"We are proud to introduce the Sheraton and Westin brand to the Changbai Mountains with this spectacular, new year-round ski resort complex where guests will enjoy world-class amenities set against the backdrop of one of China's most visually stunning mountain ranges," said Stephen Ho, President, Asia Pacific, Starwood Hotels & Resorts Worldwide, Inc.
The Sheraton and Westin resort complex is close to Yingfu Expressway and just six miles to Changbaishan Airport (NBS). Known for its breathtaking natural beauty, the Changbai mountain range extends through several countries and is home to 200 animal and bird species. Guests will enjoy downhill skiing on trails surrounded by unspoiled pine forests, as well as ice skating and ice fishing.
The world-famous Changbai Mountains are known as one of the most beautiful areas in China. Endowed with rich natural resources and amazing scenery, the more than 494,000 acre nature reserve has been established to protect the Changbai Mountains' natural environment and eco-system.
The resort complex offers more than 37,000 square feet of state-of-the-art function and meeting space, including a 13,362 square-foot ballroom, nine smaller meeting rooms, and a spacious pre-function area.
