In a significant development for the hospitality sector in Northwest China, Minor Hotels (China) has announced the official signing of a dual-branded Tivoli and NH property in Yining, Xinjiang. This marks the debut of the luxury Tivoli Hotels & Resorts and upscale NH Hotels & Resorts brands in Northwest China. The project, set to open in 2026, is anticipated to welcome guests from around the globe.
Yining, a bustling city on China’s western border, historically served as a crucial trade hub on the Silk Road and now connects Central Asia with Europe. Known for its picturesque natural landscapes and rich ethnic cultures, Yining boasts numerous attractions such as the Kazak Folk Tourism Area and Six Star Street, making it a popular destination for domestic and international tourists.
The Tivoli and NH hotels are strategically located near local tourist attractions and the central business district. Their appeal is further enhanced by easy access via highways, high-speed trains, and flights. Spanning 1.6 million square meters, the project will feature diverse functionalities, including 200 guest rooms for each of the Tivoli and NH brands, a commercial zone, a cultural performance center, and residential areas. Notably, the cultural performance center will host regular music and dance shows, while the commercial area, inspired by ancient Silk Road design, aims to create an exotic shopping and leisure venue.
“We are excited to announce our first dual-branded property of Tivoli and NH Hotels in Northwest China,” said Dillip Rajakarier, Group CEO of Minor International and CEO of Minor Hotels. “With such high profiles and strong reputations throughout Europe, we are confident that the Tivoli and NH brand offerings will appeal to both Chinese and international travellers.”
“The establishment of Tivoli and NH hotels in Yining is expected to significantly improve the local hotel industry landscape, attracting more visitors and contributing meaningfully to the economic development of Yining and the entire Ili Kazakh Autonomous Prefecture,” concluded Eddy Tiftik, VP of Operations & Development for Minor Hotel (China).
Founded in Portugal in 1933, Tivoli Hotels & Resorts has garnered loyalty and admiration from celebrities and royalty worldwide for its distinctive designs and exceptional experiences in dining, accommodation, and leisure. Tivoli’s expansion from Portugal to countries like Brazil, Qatar, China, the Netherlands, Italy, and Spain continues to bring the Mediterranean’s warmth and elegance to discerning travelers seeking refined lifestyles.
Originally from Spain, NH Hotels & Resorts opened its first property in 1978. Today, it operates over 230 hotels and resorts across Europe and the Americas and is expanding into other regions. With thoughtfully designed rooms that ensure comfort and practicality, NH is committed to providing reliable services and memorable experiences, ensuring every journey with NH is a pleasure.
