Lamborghini Lends its Luxury Name to New Chinese Hotel

Posted byBy Stan | Published on: | Updated on June 12, 2013 CommentsComments (0)

For those luxury aficionados who can’t get enough of Lamborghini – the son of the auto company’s founder is bringing his famous name — and a luxury boutique hotel — to China.

The Tonino Lamborghini Group has paired with Join In Group real estate developers in China to create the first of seven planned ultra-luxury hotels, this one in Suzhou. Other Lamborghini boutique hotels are expected to open in Sanya, Zhuhai, Hangzhou, Xuzhou, Huangshi, and Kunshan.

The latest trend in new hotels in China is the infusion of East and West elements.

The Lamborghini boutique hotel in Suzhou has been built to reflect local Suzhou Garden style, combined with a traditional Italian villa feel. It sits close to the water and promotes relaxation and easy luxury.

The hotel, located on the banks of Jinji Lake, has 92 lake-view rooms in four buildings. The property features, among other impressive amenities, classical Suzhou garden style architecture surrounding a small pagoda, bridge and flowing water. The interiors of the hotel are a blend of Chinese and Italian details that include Chinese Ming-style furniture and Lamborghini’s signature bull logo integrated into designs. Another unique feature is bookshelves filled with Chinese and foreign language classics in each room.

“I love to see the fusion of Italian luxury and Chinese culture,” said Tonino Lamborghini. “This will be the perfect combination of a ‘made in Italy’ and Eastern philosophy.”

Democracy needs journalism it can trust.

This election season, the stakes are higher than usual — and so is the pressure on newsrooms to soften their coverage, stay quiet, or just disappear. Independent reporting, the kind that answers to readers instead of advertisers or political pressure, matters more in a moment like this, not less.

For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed independent and reader-funded. We have no corporate owner and no shareholders telling us what to cover or how to cover it. That independence is also our biggest vulnerability: nothing protects it except readers choosing to fund it directly.

Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under in a moment like this, it's rarely the independent, reader-funded ones that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
