Marriott has expanded its portfolio of St. Regis Hotels and Resorts
to the northeastern Chinese city of Qingdao.

Occupying the 58th to 78th floors of the
369-meter Haitian Center, The St. Regis Qingdao is the
tallest hotel in the region.

The property is located within an
hour’s drive from Qingdao Liuting International Airport, and
is adjacent to scenic Fushan Bay, the venue for the sailing
competitions during the Beijing Olympics.

dedicated event space, a spa with five treatment rooms, a fitness center and
an indoor infinity-edge swimming pool.
