Group to deepen foothold in Chinese port city with luxury property in historic enclave

Hong Kong – Langham Hospitality Group (LHG) has signed a management contract for The Langham, Ningbo, a luxury hotel to be opened in the historic heart of Ningbo's Haishu District. Situated in the Xiushui Street area, a neighbourhood known for its traditional architecture and Jiangnan heritage, the property will be the Group's third hotel in the city. It will accompany Cordis, Dongqian Lake, Ningbo and Langham Place, Ningbo Culture Plaza to form a strategic cluster in one of China's leading maritime centres.

The Langham, Ningbo, which is being developed by Ningbo Haixin Holding Group, will encompass several period buildings. The structures will be carefully restored and integrated into the hotel's broader plot to establish a unique complex that combines Ningbo's time-honoured architecture with elegant modern aesthetics.

“Reaching the three-hotel mark in Ningbo is an important milestone for us that demonstrates our confidence in the city and its long-term prospects as both a business hub and leisure destination,” LHG Chief Executive Officer Bob van den Oord said. “Each property showcases a different aspect of Ningbo – from our lakeside resort to our urban retreat, and now our cultural escape in the historic heart of Haishu District.

“That culture – and the opportunity to preserve it through the restoration and revitalisation of period buildings – is especially meaningful for our Group, which has a long track record of breathing new life into heritage structures to create distinctive hotels.”

The Langham, Ningbo will house 75 guest rooms and suites along with a curated collection of guest amenities, including a destination bar and extensive health and fitness facilities. It will also be home to Zhejiang Province's first outpost of T'ang Court, the Group's three-Michelin-starred Cantonese restaurant.

Guests at the property will find themselves close to some of Ningbo's most notable cultural attractions, including Tianyi Pavilion – China's oldest surviving private library – and the Ningbo Confucian Temple.
