Kingdom Hotel Investments ("KHI"), the leading international hotel and resort Investment Company focused on high growth emerging markets and chaired by HRH Prince Alwaleed Bin Talal is pleased to announce the acquisition of a 100% stake in an existing hotel in Kunshan, China. KHI has agreed to purchase the property for approximately US$58 million. This is KHI's first acquisition in China and is in line with its investment and diversification strategy.
