AUGUST 19, 2008. This will be JAL Hotels' eighth hotel in China, following two hotels in Beijing, and one each in Dalian, Tianjin, Hong Kong, Shanghai and Wuxi. The Shanghai and Wuxi hotels are scheduled to open in 2009.

Hotel Nikko Guangzhou will be built in the newly developed Guangzhou Tianhe Software Park, located in the northeast area of Tianhe District in Guangzhou. This 13-story building will be a five-star international hotel, with 411 guest rooms, occupying a total of 56,000 square meters. The hotel's facilities will include Japanese and Chinese restaurants, and will also provide guests with banquet rooms, a business center and fitness club. The hotel is expected to cater to the demands of both business and leisure clientele.

Guangzhou, the largest international city in the southern part of China, with a population of around eight million, is also the country's third largest metropolis after Shanghai and Beijing. Numerous major companies from around the world have established their offices in Guangzhou, making Guangzhou the economic center of Chang Jiang Delta (also called the Yangtze River Delta). As of July 2008, 510 Japanese companies have opened offices in Guangzhou, which brings a large number of Japanese business people to the city in addition to the 4,000 Japanese who live there. Every April and October the Guangzhou Fair, China's biggest export fair, takes place in the city, which attracts companies from all over the country. In addition, Guangzhou is an attractive major tourist destination with historical sites, street vendors and Cantonese cuisine.
