Minor Hotels Continues China Expansion with Anantara Thousand Island Lake Resort

Minor Hotels, a global hospitality leader with a network of more than 560 hotels across six continents, and its Chinese joint venture, Funyard Minor, have partnered with YouChao International Tourism Hotel Co. Ltd. to develop Anantara Thousand Island Lake Resort. Scheduled to open on the banks of Qiandao Lake in Hangzhou City in October 2027, the 160-key resort is poised to bring a fresh perspective to the popular holiday destination in Zhejiang Province.

Spanning a total construction area of 36,000 square metres, Anantara Thousand Island Lake Resort will honour Qiandao's fame as the world's most island-rich freshwater lake. Holidaymakers familiar with the area's charm as well as new generations of vacationers will be immersed in the tranquil beauty of the reservoir and the lush surrounding forest. On their doorstep, they will find abundant natural and cultural attractions, such as the rich culture of Xin'An, once a major trade centre on the Silk Road, picturesque mountain villages and fishing adventures at Longchuanwan National Fishing Centre.

The property is designed to accommodate a wide range of guests, from solo travellers seeking solitude to families looking for in-nature activities to business travellers with the resort's multifunctional banquet and meeting space. In addition to guest rooms ranging in size from 62 to 340 square meters, dining outlets at Anantara Thousand Island Lake Resort will include all-day dining, specialty and Chinese restaurants. The hotel will offer a variety of recreational facilities to enhance the guest experience including a fitness centre, swimming pool, spa, tennis court, tea garden, and a forest oxygen bar.

"We are honoured to collaborate with YouChao International Tourism Hotel Co. Ltd. to bring Anantara to Qiandao Lake," said Mr. Eddy Tiftik, Vice President of Development for Greater China at Minor Hotels Group and a board member of Funyard Minor China. "This cooperation marks another significant milestone in our expansion in the Yangtze Delta Region, while also showcasing our deep commitment and confidence in the Chinese market. We look forward to this project bringing positive economic impact to the local community and promoting the sustained development of the tourism industry."

"We are delighted to join hands with Minor Hotels," said Ms. Tang Wenyi, Chairman of YouChao International Tourism Hotel Co. Ltd. "We look forward to working closely with Minor Hotels to promote the development of the hotel industry in the area, create more commercial and social value, and leverage Qiandao Lake's immense potential as a world-class tourism destination."

Anantara Thousand Island Lake Resort is located 22 kilometres from Qiandaohu Railway Station that links it to tier one cities such as Hangzhou, Shanghai, Beijing and Nanjing, and 150 kilometres from Hangzhou Xiaoshan International Airport. Minor Hotels currently operates four properties in China and plans to grow to 15 properties within the next three years.
