Sands China to follow up The Parisian and The Venetian with The Londoner as part of US$2.2 billion Macau expansion plan
- Holiday Inn in Sands Cotai Central resort to make way for latest European city-based hotel
- Company to unveil larger expansion plan in phases
Sands China last week unveiled plans to upgrade the 1,200-room Holiday Inn at Sands Cotai Central in Macau, rebranding it as The Londoner, a destination resort in line with its other European city-based brands, The Venetian and The Parisian.
The Londoner rebranding is part of a larger, US$2.2 billion expansion plan, to be unveiled by Sands China, which develops, owns and operates integrated resorts, retail malls and casinos, in stages. To start with, the Holiday Inn will make way for the 600-suite Londoner.
The Four Seasons Hotel and associated casinos operating under Sands China will also be renovated.
In the first quarter this year, Sands Cotai Central, an integrated resort operated by Sands China with four hotel brands, the St. Regis, the Conrad, the Sheraton Grand and Holiday Inn, reported US$577 million in revenue, up from US$549 million for the same period in 2018.
The Venetian reported US$897 million in the first quarter, while The Parisian brought in US$454 million, an increase of 26 per cent over the same period last year.
