Langham Hospitality Group has been selected by Jinan Licheng District Quanfuhe Investment Development Co., Ltd. to manage a luxury hotel in Jinan, the capital of China’s Shandong province.
The Langham, Jinan, will be located in the century-old Honglou neighborhood of Licheng District, within a central business district home to Jinan’s quantum technology and artificial intelligence industries. The area includes historical landmarks dating to the early 1900s, among them the Hongjialou Cathedral, the Shandong Provincial Library and the Shandong University campus, alongside malls, restaurants and several of Jinan’s 70 famous springs.
The hotel will comprise 286 guest rooms and suites on a site of approximately 35,000 square meters. Design will reference The Langham’s 160-year heritage and incorporate elements inspired by Jinan’s springs.
Planned amenities include several dining venues, including an outpost of LHG’s three-Michelin-star Cantonese restaurant T’ang Court, a bar, meeting and event facilities and wellness amenities under the group’s Chuan Spa brand. The hotel is expected to open in 2029.
“We are honored to partner with Langham Hospitality Group, a company distinguished by its thoughtful approach to shaping one-of-a-kind hotels,” said Chen Wenping, executive deputy general manager of Jinan Licheng District Quanfuhe Investment Development Co. Ltd. “Drawing on the strengths of Honglou District’s heritage, commercial vitality, and natural beauty, The Langham, Jinan will cater to both leisure and business travelers while enhancing the profile of Licheng District and Jinan as a whole.”
“We are grateful for our partnership with Jinan Licheng District Quanfuhe Investment Development Co., Ltd. and look forward to bringing The Langham Hotels and Resorts to Jinan, an increasingly important city that serves as the ideal starting point for our entry into Shandong Province,” said Bob van den Oord, CEO of Langham Hospitality Group.
