Lohkah Hotel ＆ Spa

What Lohkah Hotel ＆ Spa does

Lohkah Hotel & Spa (七尚酒店集团) is a privately held Chinese luxury and boutique hospitality group founded in 2018 and headquartered in Xiamen, Fujian Province. The company operates two brands — LOHKAH七尚 (ultra-luxury) and KAIPUU七栩 (boutique lifestyle) — across four properties in Fujian: the flagship Xiamen Lohkah Hotel & Spa on Wuyuan Bay (a Leading Hotels of the World member, opened 2018), Kaipuu Belfry in central Quanzhou (SLH member, opened 2023 in a converted 1934 department store), Kaipuu on the Reef on Quanzhou's southern peninsula coast (SLH member, opened 2024, 53 rooms), and Lohkah Kulangsu on UNESCO World Heritage Gulangyu Island (opened 2024 in a 1920 heritage villa). A fifth property, Lohkah Manting Shanfang, is under development in Wuyishan for 2027. The group generates revenue from luxury accommodation (per-room-night pricing), multiple F&B concepts (including Michelin Guide-recognized XIA Restaurant and Black Pearl one-diamond Hám-Khák), destination wedding packages (CNY 59,999–131,400), MICE events, spa services, and curated multi-night experience packages priced CNY 2,477–12,777 net.

The group's underlying technology platform integrates property management with a GSTC-compliant sustainability monitoring system (certified by Bureau Veritas across four pillars: management, socio-economic, cultural, environmental), in-hotel energy management (LED lighting 95%+ coverage, HVAC thermal efficiency ≥5.0, 735m² rooftop solar thermal, ~110,000 kWh/year photovoltaic generation), and guest experience systems including the BE WTR in-room water filtration system. Distribution combines direct sales (proprietary website lohkah.com, reservation hotline, WeChat mini-program) with intermediary channels including Virtuoso, The Leading Hotels of the World, Small Luxury Hotels of the World, and Ctrip. Targeted customer segments are ultra-high-net-worth leisure travelers (primary), corporate MICE clients, destination wedding couples, and culinary tourists. The company's first-party technology, proprietary sustainability infrastructure, and design-led architectural IP across distinct heritage and coastal sites constitute its core differentiated assets.

The business model is asset-heavy and operationally intensive, with revenue heavily weighted to per-stay luxury room nights and on-site F&B, supplemented by high-margin banquets and weddings. The GTM motion is direct-plus-network: dedicated banquet and wedding consultation teams pursue corporate and personal events, while global luxury consortia (LHW, SLH, Virtuoso) drive inbound international bookings. The group has aggressively expanded its physical footprint (one property in 2018, four by 2024, a fifth planned for 2027) and has accumulated a substantial award portfolio (Tatler Best Boutique Hotel 2025, multiple Condé Nast Traveler Best of the Best awards, Black Pearl and Michelin Guide recognition, Forbes China 福厨30 recognition for Executive Chef Yang Kang, and iF Design Award 2020). In 2025, the group became the first luxury hotel brand in mainland China to receive GSTC Global Sustainable Tourism Council certification, a material regulatory and ESG differentiator.
