IHG Hotels & Resorts has signed an agreement with Newhope Real Estate to launch the Regent brand in Chengdu, the capital of China's Sichuan province.
According to an IHG statement, the deal marks Regent’s first entry into the city and adds to its expanding presence in Greater China.
The hotel will be located in the Jinjiang District, occupying floors 39 to 48 of a 233m tower. It will offer 180 guest rooms and suites, all offering views of the city skyline and the Jinjiang River.
Planned facilities at the property will include multiple dining outlets and a dedicated spa sanctuary.
Regent Chengdu is planned to open in the third quarter of 2029.
Newhope Real Estate chairman and president Jiang Mengjun said: “We are delighted to partner with IHG on the development of Regent Chengdu.
"As a company rooted in this city, we are committed to contributing to Chengdu’s continued evolution and creating destinations that connect the city with the world.

“Together with IHG, we look forward to creating a destination where guests can experience the city through Regent’s refined approach to modern luxury.”
In Greater China, Regent runs six hotels across Beijing, Chongqing, Hong Kong, Shanghai and Taipei, with additional projects in the pipeline.
