Cordis, Kunshan, Xiajia River
Jiangsu Province To Welcome Second Cordis Hotel
Langham Hospitality Group (LHG) is set to double its Cordis Hotels & Resorts footprint in Jiangsu Province with the planned opening of a new hotel in the city of Kunshan. The Cordis, Kunshan, Xiajia River, which takes its name from the park- and lake-filled grounds of the nearby Xiajia River delta, will be situated in the Xiajia River Science and Technology Innovation Corridor. A vibrant commercial centre surrounded by lush gardens and pristine waterways, the area is a draw for both business and leisure travellers.

On the business front, the strategic location between the megacities of Shanghai and Suzhou - both of which are less than 30 minutes away by high-speed rail - makes it a choice destination for off-site meetings, corporate retreats, and engagements with companies in Kunshan's burgeoning cultural creativity, optoelectronics, semiconductor, and integrated circuits industries.
As for pleasure trips, the area offers a wide selection of unique attractions. Chief among these is Yangcheng Lake, an expansive body of water renowned for its aquatic wildlife that includes the famed Yangcheng hairy crab, a local delicacy that attracts gastronomes from far and wide. Also in the vicinity are the historic towns of Qiandeng, Luzhi and the popular Zhouzhuang, a canal-filled enclave that's often referred to as the "Venice of the East".
The 285-key hotel - which is being developed by Kunshan Xincheng Development Construction Company, a subsidiary of Kunshan Guochuang Investment Group Company - will be the 10th Cordis Hotels & Resorts property in operation or development in Mainland China.
