Mandarin Oriental Hotel Group has announced plans to manage a new hotel in Nanjing, which will count a ballroom among its other meeting and event venues. Plans call for the new property to open in 2022.
Mandarin Oriental, Nanjing will be set on the Qinhuai River near to a number of historic landmarks, including the Gate of China, which forms part of one of the longest ancient city walls in the world built by the first emperor of the Ming Dynasty over 600 years ago.
The hotel will have 106 rooms and suites with views of the river and the ancient city wall. There will be three restaurants and bars, including an all-day dining option, a Chinese restaurant and a Lobby Lounge. There will also be a range of adaptable meeting facilities, and a large ballroom that will cater to events and social functions, Mandarin Oriental said.
Also on site will be a Spa at Mandarin Oriental, as well as an indoor swimming pool and fitness center.

Ltd., an affiliated company of Hongkong Land, in partnership with China Merchants Group and Country Garden Group. In addition to the hotel, the development will comprise premium retail space and residential luxury homes.
The site of the development is close to tourist attractions including the Confucius Temple quarter and the Old East Gate, which was originally built in the Ming Dynasty.
