The Olympic Winter Games 2022 will take place in Beijing and the new winter sports area in Chongli, which will promote tourism and several new hotel projects in China. According to TOPHOTELPORJECTS, a provider of global B2B hotel data, there are currently 676 new top hotels and luxury resorts with about 205,000 rooms in the pipeline there.
A new high-speed rail network will connect to the winter sports center Chongli in Hebei province north west of the capital. Spectators, athletes and journalists will be able to commute there from Beijing in 50 minutes by rail – the 200-kilometer stretch takes three to four hours by car. In Chongli, required development includes new courses, lifts and snow cannons in the mountains as well several new hotels. Currently a 200-room hotel by the Starwood hotel brand Element is planned to open in autumn 2017.
In Beijing alone, 19 new properties with 3,800 rooms are being built, among them several luxury hotels such as a Bulgari Hotel (120 rooms) and two properties by Mandarin Oriental Hotels (74 and 241 rooms).
