Keys have also symbolised authority and power in societies throughout the world. In ancient Rome, the god of gates and doors, Janus, symbolised transformations with a dualistic approach of looking to the past and unlocking the future.
The ‘Ceremony of the Keys’, a ritual that started in the middle ages and held every evening at the Tower of London for over 700 years, is said to be the oldest military ceremony in the world today. In ancient China, people would wrap articles of value in animal hide and tie them securely with a “cuo”. This act became the prototype for the modern lock and key we see today.
In the name of Key International, this symbolism holds deep relevance; whether it’s unlocking prosperity for our clients, shaping our services to fit a unique vision, or opening wide the door between a rich past and a vibrant future to allow prosperity to flow.
Today, Key International manages a vast portfolio of leading hotel brands across China, including Kempinski, NUO, Bristoria and Tangram, as well as Universal Studios Grand Hotel managed by Key International.
We also helped develop China’s first “homegrown” luxury hotel brand NUO and operate the three NUO properties in Beijing including the highly acclaimed flagship hotel in Chaoyang District near Art Zone 798, the second commanding a prestigious position on Chang’an Avenue with views of the Forbidden City and Tiananmen Square. A third NUO opened in 2021, NUO Resort Hotel – Universal Beijing.
Never rest on our laurels, Key International is constantly evolving in order to remain at the industry’s forefront. In doing so, we can continually unlock potential, prosperity and ongoing success for our esteemed clients across the region.
