Hainan Wanghai International Hotel was built and opened in 1984. At that time, it was named Wanghailou Hotel. It was located in Haixiu East Road, the most prosperous business district in Haikou city center. It was one of the earliest landmark hotels in Hainan and one of the earliest foreign-related tourist hotels. After more than 2 years of hard work, the hotel has witnessed the glorious course of Hainan's 2 years since the establishment of the province as a special zone. With the rapid development of Hainan's social economy and tourism, the hotel has developed from an ordinary guest house before the establishment of the province to a four-star hotel now. For more than 2 years, the hotel has gone through the initial state-owned system. In 1987, it was changed to the Sino-foreign cooperative management system, and in 199, it returned to the state-owned system. In 1998, the hotel was transformed into a private joint-stock enterprise, from a state-owned enterprise originally affiliated to Hainan Commercial Group Company to a subordinate private enterprise of First Investment and Merchants Co., Ltd. In the fierce competition of market economy and the historical tide of reform and opening up in Hainan Special Economic Zone, Hainan Wanghai International Hotel has always been in the forefront of the times, with unlimited scenery in the early years of its establishment and short-term difficulties in the late 199 s; There are both the twists and turns after the restructuring in 1998 and the glory after the comprehensive renovation in 23. Over the past 2 years, Hainan Wanghai International Hotel has experienced the ups and downs of social and economic development in Hainan Special Economic Zone and the challenges and tests of market economy, and has always been in an invincible position, and has gradually created a corporate brand "Wanghai Building" with local characteristics in Hainan.
