On May 13, equipment acceptance and system commissioning were steadily progressing at the Le Méridien Yichang Sanxia project, which is scheduled to open in the second quarter of this year. Located in the Xiling Gorge Scenic Area of Yiling District, the hotel covers approximately 160,000 square meters and consists of several low-rise standalone buildings. It features 217 guest rooms designed in a modern French artistic style, redefining creative travel and living trends. Once in operation, the hotel will fill the gap in high-end resort accommodations within the “Two Dams and One Gorge” tourism zone, help upgrade the quality and capacity of regional consumption, and inject fresh momentum into Yichang’s efforts to accelerate its development into a world-renowned cultural tourism destination.
