Top services amid fierce market

Competition among luxury hotels is becoming increasingly fierce in China and is now moving into second and third tier cities, said Vlad Reyes, general manager of the Conrad Dalian and Hilton Dalian.

"We are improving our presence in China's second and third cities by providing diverse services in our new hotels," Reyes says.

The Hilton Dalian, the hotel chain's third property in China's northeast region, and the Conrad Dalian, its first urban hotel on the Chinese mainland, both opened on Feb 25.
