Australia<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

The Accor group, Australia's leading hotel group, will continue to strengthen its network, notably through its lifestyle Hyde brand, which is expected to open in the heart of Perth on the west coast. Mercure, which already has a strong presence in Melbourne, will be adding a new address in the country's second-largest city in March with the Mercure Melbourne La Trobe Street, a contemporary 195-room hotel close to Flagstaff Gardens, Queen Victoria Market and Docklands.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

But the French group is not the only major hotel player to focus on Australia this year. IHG is also expecting to open a number of new hotels, starting with the InterContinental Sydney Coogee Beach. The result of the upgrading of a former Crowne Plaza located on the seafront, this resort has already seen the transformation of its 198 rooms and will unveil its new leisure area in the spring, including an infinity pool and outdoor event areas.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

At the same time, the Crowne Plaza brand will be offering Geelong's largest hotel, with 200 rooms and suites, in January. Overlooking the bay, this addition to the Victorian city's waterfront offers business travellers a new venue of choice, with vast meeting spaces and a direct connection to the Nyaal Banyul Geelong Convention & Event Centre. Another development, the Crowne Plaza Shell Cove Marina on the New South Wales coast, will later this year offer a predominantly business resort with several conference rooms and a ballroom with a capacity of 600 people. Finally, the Mayfair Hotel in Adelaide, already in the IHG fold since December, will officially come under the Kimpton lifestyle banner next autumn.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

A large number of hotels are approaching Shanghai, particularly around Hongqiao International Airport. A historic hub for the city before international flights were moved to Pudong airport, the China Eastern Airlines hub is now predominantly domestic, and has recently seen the opening of Shangri-La and Traders hotels, as well as an Aloft from the Marriott group. This dynamic area, which includes the Shanghai National Exhibition and Convention Centre and the West Hongqiao Business District, is now preparing to welcome a new Accor hotel in the first few months of the year, the Hotel Shanghai Hongqiao - Handwritten Collection, with 360 rooms.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Still in the West Hongqiao business district, a 'sportswear' hotel, FILA House, is also due to appear shortly in a complex housing the headquarters of the Anta Group, owner of the sportswear and equipment brand. The hotel will be affiliated to the Hyatt group's JdV brand. After last year's opening of the Thompson Shanghai Expo, in the World Expo district, the American hotelier will be opening more hotels in the city in 2026, with the Andaz Shanghai ITC, a luxury lifestyle hotel with 267 rooms and suites, expected in February, as well as the Hyatt Centric Shanghai Jinqiao and the Hyatt Regency Shanghai Jing'an, expected at the end of the year. However, these are not the only developments planned by Hyatt Regency in China, with Hyatt Regency Nanjing Jiangbei New Area and Hyatt Regency Zhuhai Airport on the drawing board for 2026.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Accor has also announced a number of other openings, including the Pullman Taizhou Huahong Jiaxin, the Novotel Chengdu Jianyang and the Fairmont Dalian. This 70-room luxury hotel will revisit a historic building in the city in Liaoning province and, from mid-year, will offer business travellers numerous meeting rooms, as well as a reception room combining modernity with the charm of the past.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Similarly, other exclusive hotels will also be available to business travellers this year, including, on the Marriott side, the Ritz-Carlton Wuhan, overlooking the Yuexiu Global Financial Centre, and the Rosewood Shenzhen. Housed in a tower designed by Fosters + Partners in the heart of the business metropolis, this new hotel will offer 300 rooms and 1,250 sq. m. of meeting and event space, including a 750 sq. m. ballroom.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

IHG will also strengthen its presence in China's secondary cities with the opening in the first quarter of a member of the Vignette Collection and a Hotel Indigo in Chongqing, as well as an InterContinental in Huzhou and the Holiday Inn Express Nanjing Confucius Temple. Beijing, meanwhile, will be home to a contemporary voco hotel near the Temple of Heaven. And all this while continuing to strengthen its network in Shanghai with the Kimpton Shanghai 9 Tree Art Center, THE ONE Shanghai Downtown Vignette Collection hotel and, more leisurely, the Holiday Inn Shanghai Tourism Zone, near the Shanghai Disney Resort.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
