In 2008, the Lexington Collection? of unique hotels, plaza hotels, and resorts took a major step forward with the debut of its first property in China, the Lexington Shenyang Rich Gate Hotel. Two years later, the Lexington Rich Gate is the largest property in the Vantage Hospitality Group family, with plans to expand next year.
The 570-room Lexington Rich Gate remains an alluring fixture in the heart of Shenyang for business and leisure. The 5-star, deluxe, full-service, city center property offers upscale accommodations, spacious grounds and luxurious amenities, as well as advanced conference facilities, unleashing an entirely new design concept. The hotel is built atop one of the largest shopping malls in Northern China and is part of a multi-purpose complex that includes offices, apartments and a convention center.
?The development of the hospitality industry in Shenyang is very vibrant due to the arrival of major global industry players such as BMW, Airbus Industries and Michelin Tires,? said Lexington Rich Gate General Manager Frank Prasmo. ?The hotel has had a very fruitful two years due to this exciting state of the industry, plus all the revenue-generating resources, programs and benefits that come from being a part of the Vantage family.?
The Lexington Rich Gate is currently in the second phase of expanding its facilities, which will result in one of the largest conference and convention centers in China. The estimated opening will take place in late 2011.
The Vantage Hospitality family also includes the Americas Best Value Inn?, Canadas Best Value Inn?, Chinas Best Value Inn? and Value Inn Worldwide? brands.
