Iconic Kunming Zhongwei Green Lake Hotel in Yunnan Joins WorldHotels Elite collection


Wazzup Pilipinas!

WorldHotels, a global brand representing over 250 of the world’s finest independent hotels, has announced the addition of the celebrated Kunming Zhongwei Green Lake Hotel to its Elite collection. A flagship property of Zhongwei Hotel Group, one of the fastest growing hotel chains in China, Kunming Zhongwei Green Lake Hotel played a significant role in Yunnan’s hospitality excellence since 1956. With 60 years of heritage, the landmark hotel hosted some of China’s most prominent dignitaries and foreign guests. For the reconstruction of the Kunming Zhongwei Green Lake Hotel's block B building in 1922, the project had the world-famous architect, Leoh Ming Pei, among the ranks of its design team. The hotel is strategically located by the beautiful green lake in the heart of the city. 

The benchmark of the hospitality industry in the city, Kunming Zhongwei Green Lake Hotel features 294 luxurious rooms and suites with sweeping views of the beautiful Green Lake or Kunming City. With two main buildings, one swimming pool, a fitness center, 13 meeting rooms and two authentic restaurants serving both western and Cantonese cuisine, the luxurious five-star property is a grand edifice overlooking Cuihu Park and the perfect base from which to explore Kunming City and the nearby Stone Forest.  

“It is our great privilege to welcome Kunming Zhongwei Green Lake Hotel to the WorldHotels Elite collection,” says Roland Jegge, President Asia Pacific of WorldHotels. “With more than 60 years of illustrious history, this stunning landmark carries the rich local culture and heritage of the Kunming region, serving as the perfect sanctuary for both leisure and corporate travellers. The addition of Kunming Zhongwei Green Lake Hotel solidifies our affiliation with the Zhongwei Hotel Group, whose two other properties - Grand Central Hotel and Central Hotel, both in Shanghai - we have been representing in our collection for over ten years.” 

An important commercial hub for Yunnan Province, Kunming is also known to be “the City of Eternal Spring” for its pleasant climate and blooming flowers. Set to become the hub and terminus for the “The Pan-Asia Railway Network”, Kunming will become the focal point in connecting China with seven countries in Southeast Asia, including Singapore, Malaysia, and Thailand.

Have a sustainable new normal with Parkland and WWF-Philippines



Wazzup Pilipinas!

Looking for a meaningful gift item for your friends and family this Christmas? Begin your loved ones’ journey to a sustainable new normal and give back to the planet! This holiday season, the World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF) Philippines has teamed up with eco-design label Parkland, and from November 11, 2020 to January 11, 2021, Parkland will donate a portion of its sales to WWF-PH’s environmental conservation efforts.



Established in 2015, Parkland is a lifestyle brand designed with style and sustainability in mind. Its durable exterior is made with 100% recycled water bottles and the classic diamond detail on select styles is made from 100% vegan apple leather. The exterior of all Parkland products are made of recycled polyester, a fabric traditionally produced using an energy-intensive chemical reaction involving coal, petroleum, air, and water. In contrast, recycled polyester is created from 100% recycled water bottles and the production process uses far less energy than the traditional process. With its mission to inspire the public to make sustainable choices by offering products that combine purpose, style, and quality at an accessible price, Parkland constantly innovates its business process—from design to production—to reduce its impact on the environment.

Parkland bags are available in Bratpack, The Travel Club, Grind, ROX, Lazada, SM Department Stores online stores and physical branches nationwide. With a wide array of models to choose from, you are sure to find something for everyone on your holiday gift list!

WWF-Philippines is set to launch more campaigns and programs with our innovative partners in the months to come. Stay tuned to WWF-Philippines’ official social media pages for announcements and to find out more ways to help #ChangeTheEnding for the environment.
