According to the organizing committee of the China Tourism Industry Development Annual Conference, the selection of this year’s Top 10 China Characteristic Themed Hotels was based mainly on the following two criteria: the nominated hotels combine uniqueness, cultural richness, and experiential value, featuring distinct themes such as literature and art, human architecture, traditional crafts, folk customs, leisure wellness, marine culture, and eco-environmental protection; they offer guests distinctive and high-quality service experiences, enjoy a good reputation, and are widely recognized and popular in the market.
The brand philosophy of Junting Hotel is to provide travelers with an accumulation of Eastern cultural experiences. Currently, its hotels in Shanghai, Hangzhou, and other locations have quickly achieved a win-win in both market presence and reputation due to their exceptional cost-performance ratio. Recently, Shanghai Zhongxing Junting Hotel has just been awarded the "2014 Outstanding TripAdvisor AnnualExcellenceAward" by the world's largest travel community website
The 2014 China Tourism Industry Development Annual Conference, jointly organized by the China Tourism Association and China Tourism News, is a large-scale and influential industry event in China's tourism sector. The "2014 China Tourism Industry Awards" consist of two segments: the "Beautiful China" list and the "Innovation & Development" list, covering ten major categories including the Top 10 Smart Tourism Cities, Top 10 Tourism Counties (Districts), Top 10 Resort Areas (Complexes), Top 10 Tourist Attractions, Top 10 Themed Travel Routes, Top 10 China Tourism Influential Figures of 2014, Top 10 China Smart Tourism Innovation Projects of 2014, Top 10 China Tourism Marketing Innovations of 2014, Top 10 China Influential Travel Agencies of 2014, and Top 10 China Characteristic Themed Hotels of 2014. As a key highlight of the conference, the selection of the Top 10 China Characteristic Themed Hotels attracted widespread attention from attendees. Junting Hotel, a leader among domestic mid-range boutique hotels, stood out from numerous nominees through a three-phase evaluation process involving mystery guest stays, online voting, and expert judging, ultimately winning the "2014 China Characteristic Themed Hotels Top 10" award. Other entities and organizations that also received accolades in the "2014 China Tourism Industry Awards" Top 10 include the Dalian Municipal Tourism Bureau, Wanda Changbai Mountain International Resort, and China International Travel Service (CITS) Head Office Co., Ltd.
The evolving consumption attitudes of China’s middle class and the growing mass tourism market present huge opportunities for mid-range hotels that offer both value and comfort, as the segment enters a golden period of development. By taking over part of the demand previously met by high-end luxury consumption, mid-range hotels are fulfilling the needs of this consumption shift. How to accelerate the branding of mid-range hotels and how to establish distinctive brand identities within a competitive landscape have become central questions for management teams across major hotel groups.
Cultural curation, service excellence, and product refinement are the core strengths of Junting Hotel. Culturally, Junting Hotel carries forward the essence of Eastern heritage, emphasizes the use of design elements, and highlights a leisurely and fashionable ambiance. The hotel atmosphere and furnishings prominently feature distinctive Eastern cultural elements, striving to deliver an authentic Eastern cultural experience to every traveler. In terms of service, the refined and heartfelt hospitality inspired by the Jiangnan region aims to create an elegant business travel journey for guests. For products, the hotel offers quality consumption and a dignified stay experience, dedicated to crafting a private, relaxing, tranquil, and comfortable business travel environment. While meeting five-star standards in key offerings such as guest rooms, breakfast, and surroundings, the hotel also focuses on creating an urban oasis-like "third space for leisure."

By 2015, it will operate nearly 30 hotels, located in regions including Australia, Zhejiang, Shanghai, Jiangsu, Jiangxi, Anhui, and Hainan.
