Atwell has opened its second hotel in Greater China, Atwell Hefei City Center, following the debut of its first property in Shanghai.
Atwell, an IHG Hotels & Resorts hotel brand, has opened its second property in Greater China with Atwell Hefei City Center. This follows the brand’s initial entry into the region, with the opening of Atwell Suites Shanghai Wuning. The new hotel is located in a commercial district at the intersection of Hefei’s historic old town and the Binhu New District, near cultural landmarks such as the Bao Xiaosu Ancestral Hall.
Atwell Hefei City Center features 168 guestrooms, incorporating smart in-room features and local cultural elements in its design. Public spaces include social areas for relaxation and interaction, as well as fitness facilities and laundry areas.
The property includes a lifestyle boutique store called Dialecte, offering artist collaborations and sustainable products. The B.N.B Bistro, located within the hotel, has a semi-open, street-facing design and provides dining options for guests.
Atwell’s expansion in Greater China is guided by its “new territorial home” concept, reflected in the design and guest experience at its properties. The brand’s approach includes integrating local cultural elements into guest rooms and public spaces, as well as providing modern amenities.
Following the openings in Shanghai and Hefei, Atwell plans to expand into additional cities in Greater China, including Suzhou, Nanjing, and Guangzhou.
