Ideally located on Xinbu Island, a newly developed area in the northeast part of Haikou city, Novotel Haikou Xinbudao is expected to quickly become a favorite on Hainan Island, China’s southernmost province famous for its amiable tropical climate and idyllic sun-blessed beaches.

Located at the pristine location where the Nandu River runs into the Qiongzhou Strait, the hotel embraces superb views of the sea. Access is easy - 40 minutes’ drive from the hotel to Haikou Meilan International Airport and 90 minutes by high speed train to Sanya. It’s a five-minute taxi ride to Haikou’s downtown area with its 700-year-old arcade and streets featuring local delicacies. The capital’s scenic spots including Five Ancestral Temple, East Harbor Mangrove Nature Park and Baishamen Park are easily reached from the hotel.

“As the first Novotel in Hainan province and the brand’s 27th hotel in Greater China, Novotel Haikou Xinbudao is opening at the right time when Haikou is set for a starring role in recently-announced plans for the island’s transformation into China’s largest free-trade zone, which will fuel Hainan’s development and bring substantial new business opportunities.” Said Gary Rosen, Chairman and Chief Operating Officer, AccorHotels Greater China. “As the first international brand of AccorHotels, Novotel continues to enjoy preference amongst consumers, owners and developers alike, which is demonstrated by the international and regional awards including the recent ‘Best Mid-Market Hotel Brand in the World’ by Business Traveller Asia-Pacific and ‘Most Popular International Brand by Chinese Families’ by Global Times.”

The U-shaped building makes the most of the matchless setting for the 141 guest rooms, which include 15 Deluxe Rooms with spacious balconies for full enjoyment of the ocean views. Décor features the coconut tree image, an iconic feature of local culture. Blue is the predominant colour as it emphasizes the island’s ocean heritage.

Dining options include Square - dine at your leisure restaurant - featuring local and international buffets and a-la-carte menu choices. It also offers traditional Cantonese, Sichuan and local Hainan cuisine. Six VIP private rooms are available for small gatherings and business meetings. The Lobby Lounge serves a wide selection of beverages complemented by a menu of savory snacks in a classic setting.

Function space includes three versatile meeting rooms. The 800m² pillar-less ballroom can host up to 600 guests. With its state-of-the-art technology, advanced equipment and classic design this is a perfect location for weddings, banquets and special events. The hotel also features a terrace which is ideally suited to outdoor events and wedding ceremonies.

An easy and comfortable living experience is enhanced by the hotel’s advanced facilities, including the signature In Balance by Novotel fitness as well as kids’ club, an outdoor swimming pool and a tennis court.

“Our superb location combined with our ambiance of understated hospitality to make people feel welcome defines our uniqueness.” Said Jack Lin, General Manager of Novotel Haikou Xinbudao. “Novotel’s ‘Easy Modern Living’ philosophy and its up-to-the-minute facilities will make us the perfect choice for a business traveler in search of convenience, or a leisure traveler seeking a peaceful get-away destination for relaxation.”
