Wyndham Hotel Group has announced its continued expansion in China with the opening of the 251-room Wyndham Hangzhou Xixi Resort.

The resort, which is owned by Hangzhou Xixi Wetland Management Company Limited, will be part of a large sustainable tourism development in Hangzhou.

Located in the western part of the city and less than five kilometres from the famous West Lake, the Xixi National Wetland Park is the first and only national wetland park in China.

Slated to be opened at the end of 2011, the move strengthens the group's portfolio in China, which currently comprises 270 hotels under its various brands.
