希爾頓國際酒店集團已與中集集團正式達成協議,計劃將于2016年春天在布里斯托機場建成第一座模塊化酒店,該酒店將定位希爾頓國際酒店集團旗下的中端酒店品牌歡朋(Hampton)。該座歡朋酒店由中集集團出資建設,歸中集集團所有,但仍由希爾頓國際酒店集團管理。

此次的決定標志著希爾頓國際與中集集團之間的戰略伙伴關系。在中國,中集集團擁有獨創性模塊化技術,他們先制造好酒店的一部分(如客房、走廊之類),再把這些制造好的部分運送到工地現場裝配,這樣很大程度上減少了整個建筑過程所需時間,并保證了建造質量的一致性,使成熟市場和新興市場的開發商和投資商都能受益。

Hilton Worldwide has reached an agreement with modular building provider CIMC to develop the first hotel at Bristol Airport under its economy Hampton by Hilton brand. Financed and owned by CIMC, the hotel will be managed by Hilton Worldwide.
The announcement marks a strategic partnership between Hilton Worldwide and CIMC. CIMC's innovative modular technique significantly reduces the time taken for construction by manufacturing and assembling portions of the hotel, including guest rooms and hallways, in China, before transporting them to the final site for assembly. The model helps ensure consistent quality and accelerates the build schedule on site, a benefit for developers and investors in mature and emerging markets alike.
