China World Hotel Beijing, Garden Hotel GuangZhou, and Portman Ritz Carlton Shanghai were recently approved as China's first batch of "platinum five-star hotels".
Shao Qiwei, head of the State Tourism Administration, awarded certificates and plates to the three hotels at a ceremony held in Beijing, August 16.
Hotels can apply for the title in future, but only a limited number of them would get approved.
