The contemporary facilities and quality services offered by Hilton Haikou are situated within International Hainan Airlines Plaza, which at 249 meters is the tallest building in Hainan province.
The property, which opened in mid-March, is the first internationally branded hotel in the central business district of the provincial capital and the eighth Hilton hotel on the tropical Island.
Operated by Hilton Worldwide and owned by Hainan Airlines Group, the new hotel is 26 kilometers from Haikou Meilan International Airport and 7 km from the Haikou East High-Speed Railway Station, which has direct connections to Wenchang and Sanya, the two other main cities on the island.
Although targeting business guests, the flagship hotel's strategic downtown location makes it easy to explore the city's attractions, including Century Park, Evergreen Park and Hainan Volcanic Crater Park, while the beach is within walking distance.
Its appealing environment and fresh air, along with fewer branded hotels than Sanya, a popular tourist destination in the province, mean Haikou has enormous leisure market potential, Liu said.
With a sky lobby on the 35th floor and rooms from the 36th to 52nd floors, the 406-room Hilton Haikou provides spectacular views of the city and Haikou Bay.
The Executive Lounge is on the building's top floor, where, besides the panoramic views, guests can enjoy complimentary breakfast, afternoon tea and evening cocktails, as well as private check-in and checkout services.
Hilton Haikou has 15 versatile meeting spaces spanning more than 2,000 square meters, including a 690-square-meter pillar-free grand ballroom. All meeting spaces are equipped with state-of-the-art audio visual and lighting systems. The hotel also has a 24-hour business center and a dedicated events team to provide support to ensure events are a success.
