MARRIOTT International has expanded its footprint in China with the opening of Shenzhen Marriott Hotel Golden Bay, a resort-like hotel.

Shenzhen is an economic powerhouse that’s home to China’s burgeoning IT scene, and is known as “China’s Silicon Valley.” Located within easy access of Hong Kong and close to Dapeng Peninsula, Shenzhen Marriott Hotel Golden Bay enjoys a prime location on the beachfront of Golden Bay — one of the top eight domestic bays in China.

Owned by Kaisa Group, Shenzhen Marriott Hotel Golden Bay marks the first resort-like Marriott Hotel in Shenzhen, underscoring the demand for Marriott International’s flagship brand.

“With 30 hotels in China and more than 50 in the pipeline, Marriott Hotels is paced for rapid expansion,” said Mike Fulkerson, vice president of brand marketing with Marriott International’s Asia-Pacific division.

Shenzhen Marriott Hotel Golden Bay offers 325 spacious guest rooms and suites, featuring panoramic sea views, as well as high-speed Internet access and high-tech facilities.

The modern interiors take cues from the local culture, combining elements from Dapeng Fortress as well as Shenzhen’s fishing village heritage.

Guests can choose from four restaurants and a lounge that serve up a variety of inventive local and international gourmet cuisines.

The brand’s signature Chinese restaurant, Man Ho, takes an innovative approach to traditional Cantonese and Chaozhou cuisines by using seasonal ingredients and traditional recipes. With floor to ceiling windows showcasing the breathtaking sea views, all-day dining venue Golden Bay Kitchen offers international favorites around the clock.

Chuan features a versatile space that is able to accommodate a separate food stand focusing on “chuan,” which translates to skewer, and can be a casual grab-and-go option.

The Lounge focuses on an authentic tea experience during the day, and transforms into a relaxing place for guests to usher in the evening with a cocktail in hand.

Located in the lobby entrance, The China Baking Company resembles an authentic Hong Kong cafe serving up fresh bread and pastries, as well as its memorable silky milk tea.

Shenzhen Marriott Hotel Golden Bay also provides a wide range of activities for guests, such as a 24-hour fitness center, indoor and outdoor swimming pools, a kids’ club and a spa.

“The hotel offers very thoughtful programing for its guests. Families can enjoy quality time together at the fully-equipped kids’ club area, while adults looking to unwind can indulge in a rejuvenating treatment at the spa to align the body and mind and restore clarity,” said Robert Young, general manager of Shenzhen Marriott Hotel Golden Bay.

Shenzhen Marriott Hotel Golden Bay is fully integrated within the Shenzhen Golden Bay Vocational Area and is the only hotel situated in Kaisa Golden Bay International Park — a world-class entertainment complex.

The complex is slated to open its doors in 2020, and houses multiple entertainment and sport venues, as well as exhibition centers.(SD-Agencies)
