“The Sofitel is set to become one of the hotel landmarks of Beijing and it will be a flagship for Sofitel in China.
“The opening will play a significant part in the evolution of the Sofitel brand, which is in the process of a significant upgrading programme that will see Sofitel positioned as one of the world’s leading luxury hotel brands.”
