Wanda Hotels & Resorts, owner and operator of more than
100 luxury hotels in China, will debut operations outside of its home country
when it opens a 150-room hotel in Istanbul.
The Wanda Vista Istanbul, slated to open by the end of next
year, will be designed by architect Philippe Starck.
Wanda intends to expand its global footprint to as many as
160 hotels by the end of 2020. The company has properties under development in
Beverly Hills, Chicago, London and Sydney.
