Following the formation of our Shanghai-based Greater China team structure, the Onyx Hospitality Group has successfully attracted the best talent in the business. The opening of the 50th regional property right here in China and recognition by the wide range of industry awards is affirmation that our China growth strategy is heading in the right direction.”
