"Asia plays an important part in Regent's global expansion plans; we see tremendous potential for hotels in major cities throughout the region," said Steven Pan, Chairman of Regent Hotels & Resorts. "Key to our success in the region is partnering with the right people with whom we share the same values. Hua Hong Group is such a company and I am thrilled to be working alongside Zhang Hongshan and his team on this exciting development."
