Marriott Signs Ritz-Carlton Hotel in Wuhan, China

(05/10/22)  Marriott has signed an agreement with Yuexiu Property to open a Ritz-Carlton hotel in downtown Wuhan.

The Ritz-Carlton, Wuhan is expected to open in 2024

Scheduled to open at the end of 2024, The Ritz-Carlton, Wuhan will occupy the upper levels of The Yuexiu Global Financial Center T5 Grand A Office Tower, a 330-meter skyscraper in Wuhan’s traditional city center of Hankou, while the hotel’s lobby, ballroom, meeting rooms and certain F&B outlets will be housed in three lower levels of the same building.

As one of Wuhan’s three urban towns, Hankou is a bustling financial and commercial area with a variety of high-end retail offerings and parks within a close radius. Wuhan’s other two urban towns - Wuchang and Hanyang - are just a short drive across the river.

“We are thrilled to introduce The Ritz-Carlton brand to Wuhan, one of the largest cities in Central China,” said Gavin Yu, Chief Development Officer, Greater China, Marriott International. “This signing underscores our commitment to grow in the destinations most relevant to today’s luxury travelers. The Ritz-Carlton, Wuhan, will be a vibrant addition to Marriott International’s portfolio of brands in the city.”

With its interiors set to be designed by the award-winning, London-based KCA International, The Ritz-Carlton, Wuhan, is expected to feature 205 rooms and suites and four distinct culinary venues, including a lobby lounge.

The rooms and suites will offer guests panoramic views of the city, nearby Xinhua Stadium, Zhongshan Park and the Yangtze River.

Facilities will include a Club Lounge, a spa with a fitness center and a swimming pool, as well as 1,130 square meters of event space, including a 680-sqm ballroom.

“The Yuexiu Global Financial Center complex is expected to become a vibrant urban landmark that brings together luxury accommodations, commercial spaces, and retail,” said a representative from Yuexiu Group. “We are proud to introduce The Ritz-Carlton, Wuhan, to the top floors of this development to bring a luxury hotel experience and sky-high dining to the city.”
