Kneel down to Millennial Copthorne Hotels Resorts for a detailed introduction

Seaview Hotel Xiamen, which celebrates its 15th anniversary, is about to expire its contract with InterContinental Group, and has officially announced that it has joined Millennium & Copthorne Hotel Group. In January 2008, it will reappear in front of Xiamen citizens as the Millennium Hotel Xiamen Seaview. As the first high-star hotel managed by an international hotel group in Xiamen, Xiamen Seaview has left an unforgettable memory in the hearts of many Xiamen people or those who have lived in Xiamen.

Mr. Zheng Jinlong, Chairman of Xiamen Tourism Group, told the story behind the seascape in detail. The preparation for the construction of Seaview was 19 years ago, by the predecessor of Xiamen Tourism Group at that time, Xiamen Tourism Corporation, and Singapore Hong Leong Group, the land belongs to Xiamen Tourism Corporation, and the construction funds are paid by both parties in proportion. There are three phases of cooperative operation:

In the first phase, Hong Leong accounted for 80% of the shares, and Xiamen Travel accounted for 20%; In the second phase, half of each side of the two sides, and finally completely belonged to Xiamen Brigade. It is currently in the first phase.

Officially opened in June 1992, the Seaview Hotel was located in the most prosperous area of Xiamen at that time, and the hotel was also the most luxurious hotel in Xiamen, so the hotel signed a management contract with Holiday Inn Group (the predecessor of Intercontinental Group) to become a Seaview Holiday Hotel, upgraded to a four-star hotel, and then became a Seaview Crowne Plaza Hotel. When the seaview hotel was officially opened, Xiamen just entered the first period of reform and opening up, and there was only one international brand hotel of Sino-foreign cooperative hotels at that time, and the seaview was the first choice for foreign businessmen to stay in Xiamen at that time, and many Xiamen people also regarded the wedding in the seaview as the most face-saving thing.

After ending the cooperation with InterContinental Group, Seaview returned to the management system of Millennium & Copthorne Hotel Group, a subsidiary of Singapore's Hong Leong Group, one of its owners, and became a franchised hotel. The Chief Operating Officer of Millennium & Copthorne Hotels said: "We are delighted to have Seaview Hotel Xiamen as our franchise hotel, which is in line with the Group's expansion strategy in China.

The Millennium Seagull Hotel Shanghai has opened, with Beijing being the group's next target city in China, and the hotel is expected to open before the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games. At the same time, we are also targeting other cities in China with high potential for industrial and commercial development, with the Millennium Hotel set to be built in Xiamen, Chengdu and Wuxi, and the first Copthorne Hotel expected to open in Qingdao. ”

As for the change of management group, Zhan Rongchang, general manager of Xiamen Seaview Hotel, said that it will not have an impact on the operation of the hotel. At present, the hotel has been improved and upgraded in terms of hardware facilities, such as the new decoration of the lobby. In 2008, more investment will be made in hardware upgrades to provide guests with a more comfortable living environment.

After so many years of development and accumulation, Seaview has trained a very good management team, no matter which hotel management group joins, the middle and senior managers will stay, and the management model will not change, let alone have an impact on future development.

It is reported that the current high-star hotels in Xiamen are increasing year by year, with 5 five-star hotels and 17 four-star hotels.
