TAIPEI, Taiwan [August 2015] – Regent Hotels & Resorts will expand its footprint in four of Asia’s flourishing cities in the coming years, with three new luxury properties slated for China over the next two years and one in Jakarta, Indonesia. Each property will follow the luxury brand’s tradition of offering authentic and distinctive experiences for travelers, with each destination’s traditions and culture infused throughout the hotel, reflected in design elements, food and beverage programs and amenities.
“We are thrilled to expand Regent’s footprint in some of Asia’s most prosperous markets,” said Steven Pan, chairman of Regent Resorts & Hotels. “We are excited about these new developments, and look forward to continuing to provide our guests with extraordinary experiences worldwide.”

Designed for the upscale business traveler, the property will feature 181 rooms and 21 suites, a deluxe business center, as well as a grand ballroom and five function/meeting spaces.
The hotel’s elegant and contemporary interiors provide a fitting backdrop to an impressive assembly of art by a roster of celebrated artists. The collection includes works by Lee Eun, the Korean ceramic artist; Donnie Pan, the Taiwanese artist who specializes in working with metal; Yi Meng, a Fine Artist and the American artist Jessica Drenk, whose textural sculptures highlight the chaos and beauty that can be found in simple materials.

Xi’an’s culture and heritage will play an influential role in the design of the upscale hotel and its 141 rooms and 15 suites. The contemporary interiors will feature ceramic pieces of art evocative of Xi’an’s Terracotta warriors, as well as stunningly intricate metalwork recalling the immaculate detailing of traditional Chinese headpieces worn during the Imperial Dynasty.
