Sofitel Readies for Three Asia Pacific Hotels

The Asia Pacific region is ready to surge with Sofitels, so we hear. Word on the street is three new management contracts have been signed in Wellington, New Zealand; Bali, Indonesia; and Shenyang, China. 

The Sofitel Bali Nusa Dua Beach Resort is scheduled to open in September 2013, with 415 rooms including 17 private villas. The hotel will also have a ballroom, five meeting rooms, three restaurants, a bar and lounge and wellness facilities. Guests will be able to relax in the infinity pool, workout at the SoFIT fitness center and unwind at SoSPA.

Sofitel Wellington, slated to open in 2014, will be the third Sofitel in New Zealand. This city hotel rubs elbows with some of the capital's hottest shops, restaurants and bars. The Sofitel Wellington will have a ground-floor restaurant serving up local produce and wines from the surrounding Hawkes Bay, Malborough and Martinborough regions. There will also be a fitness center and indoor pool.

Early 2014 will see the debut of revamped Sofitel Shenyang Lido, which is scheduled to undergo a complete renovation. The hotel renovation will cover a design overhaul, including the exterior, 590 rooms and suites, four restaurants, two bars and meeting space. The property will also have an executive lounge and business center, spa, fitness center, swimming pool, table tennis room, squash court and more.
