Hyatt Regency Changchun was opened on January 19, marking the first Hyatt-branded hotel in the capital city of Jilin province, and the first high-end business hotel to open in the city's downtown area in almost two decades.

"The introduction of our new Hyatt Regency brand reinforces our commitment to purposefully growing our brand among traveling guests," said Christopher Koehler, the vice president and managing director of China Operations, Hyatt. "We are delighted that this hotel will bring the Hyatt Regency brand - one of dynamic and stimulating hospitality - to the city." 

Hyatt Regency Changchun is located in Chaoyang district in the heart of the city, an area known for its abundance of verdant areas, such as Peony Garden and Children's Park. Hyatt Regency Changchun resides within Hongwell International Plaza, a statuesque skyscraper designed by the award-winning US architectural firm Goettsch Partners.

As part of the Hyatt Regency family, Hyatt Regency Changchun has been conceived to foster connections and serve as a dynamic, energizing space. Drawing on the green location, which enjoys some of the cleanest air in China, interior design firm Cap Atelier has incorporated myriad nature-inspired elements into the interiors. On entering the hotel lobby, guests are greeted by a triumvirate of striking textured-steel spheres symbolizing a rich harvest, while the Regency Ballroom is dominated by a stunning interlacing of metal budding branches suspended from the ceiling. Cap Atelier was also inspired by the rich culture of northeastern China, reflected in back-lit lattice wooden frames, brick ovens and lantern-style pendant lighting.

"We are thrilled about the opening," said Owen Chiu, the general manager of Hyatt Regency Changchun. "With the modern facilities and caring team, we are confident that guests will be impressed by this new addition to the city."
