Alila to launch hotel in China’s “Venice of the East”
BY Andrew Manns
Singapore-based hospitality operator Alila is set to open doors on a new property in China’s Venice: the millennia-old “water town” of Wuzhen.
The hotel, which was designed by the architectural firm GOA to reflect the minimalist engineering of Wuzhen’s interwoven waterways and canals, comprises 125 suites and villas positioned around a series of indoor and outdoor pools and courtyards.
The resort’s other on-site amenities include a yoga studio, gym, spa, and 500-person-capacity meeting space as well as four gourmet restaurants.
Alila, which currently operates fifteen properties worldwide, will officially open the site to the public in November.
