　　Genting has opened a new accommodation option at its ski resort in China’s Hebei province.

　　The new 30-suite lodge has launched last week at the Genting Resort Secret Garden, which is located three hours’ drive from Beijing.

　　The majority of the 30 suites are designed in loft style, while the chalet-style hotel also offers spa facilities, fireplaces, outdoor jacuzzis, function rooms and restaurants.

　　Genting Hong Kong’s chairman, Lim Kok Thay, said he hoped the project would strengthen Beijing’s bid to host the 2022 Winter Olympics.

　　"We will aim for Genting World to be the best ski lodge and the best ski resort not only in China but in Asia,” said Lim. “[With] this great project here… we hope to be championing the dream of China getting the Winter Olympics.”

　　The new lodge becomes the third Genting property at the ski resort, following the Genting World and Genting Grand hotels. Genting Resort Secret Garden currently offers 30 ski runs, but by time the complex is fully developed in 2018, it will offer 87 ski routes totalling 70km, served by 22 ski lifts.
