Wyndham Hotel group has just announced that it will open the world's largest Ramada hotel, the 1,000-room Ramada Hotel & Suites Boao, in China's Hainan province.

Currently under development on Hainan Island just off the south coast of mainland China, the upscale, 24-story Ramada Hotel & Suites property is expected to open in December 2010. The hotel is being developed by Hainan Baolian City (Boao) Company, a subsidiary of the Shanghai Baolian Real Estate Company.

The new hotel will feature oversized rooms and suites, three full-service restaurants, a lobby bar, 1,150 square meters of meeting space, a swimming pool, gym and other recreational facilities.

The hotel is part of a larger plan by the developer to transform more than two square kilometers of the city's ocean front real-estate into an upscale resort destination that will feature multiple retail and entertainment spaces.
