SHENZHEN, China
Ahn Luh, China’s most ambitious new hotel management company, signed a deal this month to manage a 100-room, island hotel on Xunliao Bay near Shenzhen. Ahn Luh and the hotel’s owner, Huidong County Daya Bay Delta Island Club, expect to open the resort in 2016.
Located on Delta Island, a private, 105-square kilometre tract 2.5 hours’ drive from Shenzhen, the new hotel plans to distinguish itself as the country’s first independent hotel group that trades on distinctive, Chinese design and a service culture faithful to its Chinese roots amidst today’s modern influences.
The 20,000-square-metre property will feature an all-day dining Asian restaurant with an emphasis on Chinese cuisine, a beach bar, a tai chi centre with a resident tai chi master, an Ahn Luh spa and an Ahn Luh Library.
Known for its clear waters, white sand and rock formations, Delta Island will be home to Anh Luh’s first beach resort and will stand as the second property in the hotel group’s fledgling portfolio. In May, the group announced plans for its first property, Ahn Luh Dujiangyan, a boutique hotel to be located near UNESCO World Heritage assets in Sichuan province.
