Pan Pacific Hotels Start To Take Over China With Second Hotel

The Pan Pacific Hotels group are at the start of a "growth strategy" for China – they sure aren't the only ones – and that means they're going to open their second hotel in China in January 2010.

After opening up the Pan Pacific Xiamen earlier this year, they will now be taking over and rebranding the Sheraton Suzhou Hotel and Towers in the east coast city of Suzhou. It's a 484-room place which Sheraton just added a brand new wing of 99 rooms to earlier in the year (obviously nobody told them they'd be handing it over).

Before the January reopening they'll be putting some Pan Pacific "brand standards" in place. And then the group will be looking ahead to its continued attempt to rule China, with its third hotel planned for Tianjin in 2011.

China Hotel Prohibits Juicy Fruit, Porn and Political Propaganda

This hotel in China has some pretty strict rules, such as visitors of guests must be out by 11pm, juicy fruits (not the gum, but fruits like watermelons and plums) are not allowed, and unauthorized extension of electrical cables are not allowed.

And be careful if you want to bring any porn or political materials into your room as rule #12 strictly forbades it.

Sheesh, we'd hate to see what television channels they offer.
