SOFITEL will open in early 2015 a new 350-room hotel in Changsha, the capital of Hunan province in China.

The Sofitel Changsha Huachuang is being developed by Hunan Hua Chuang Group, and will occupy the first to fifth floors, plus the top 17 floors of a high-rise mixed-use development.

The tower’s lower floors will encompass luxury office space, while the complex will also contain a 28-storey office building, a 28-storey luxury apartment tower, and a shopping centre.

The hotel will offer 350 rooms and suites, three restaurants and a top-floor bar, a So Spa, a fitness centre, an executive lounge, a beauty salon, an indoor swimming pool and two boutique shops.

MICE facilities will include a large pillar-free ballroom, seven meeting rooms of various sizes, and a business centre.

The Sofitel Changsha Huachuang is the first international luxury hotel development for Hunan Hua Chuang Group, a major commercial real estate developer in Hunan, Henan and Hebei provinces.
