Part of Xiamen Seaworld, China Merchant Group’s mixed-use development situated on the western shore of Xiamen’s main island, the hotels will open in 2025 and showcase a different brand from Langham Hospitality Group’s portfolio, including The Langham Hotels & Resorts, Cordis Hotels & Resorts and Ying’nFlo.

These properties join the group’s existing hotel in Xiamen, The Langham, Palace. At The Langham, Xiamen, Seaworld, which will occupy the larger of the two towers to be built, guests will enjoy scenery from the point of check-in thanks to a sky lobby occupying the hotel’s top floor. The Langham’s Grand Ballroom will be a feast for the eyes, measuring at 9,472 square feet and set to be one of the largest private facilities of its kind in the city.  The hotel will also include a branch of the famous Palm Court, the original iteration of which has been at The Langham, London, for 150 years now.

The Langham, Xiamen, Seaworld will also be home to an expansive branch of the brand’s Traditional Chinese Medicine-informed wellness hub, Chuan Spa. Patrons can access the platform’s full suite of signature treatments, while guests can enjoy additional access to various Chuan Wellness in-room offerings such as the Sleep Matters turndown kit.

“We are delighted to see such strong interest in our brands, which is a testament to our success in elevating them to capitalise on the recovery in China’s hospitality sector,” said Bob van den Oord, CEO, Langham Hospitality Group. “The Langham, Cordis and Ying’nFlo will serve as iconic additions to Xiamen Seaworld, a visionary complex that we are proud to be part of. They will also bolster our presence in a wonderfully vibrant city that continues to show great promise.”

Relax and Recharge at Le SPA’tique at The Parisian Macao

After enduring more than 20 hours on multiple flights and at airport gates waiting for delayed connections, my skin showed the ravaging signs of spending far too much time enveloped by recycled air. By the time I landed in Macao I looked like I had aged 10 years, my skin dull and dried out, while my sleep-deprived eyes drooped under the weight of heavy bags.
