Who runs this hotel?

Three different companies can sit behind one hotel. How this works

OperatorThe company responsible for the hotel's day-to-day operations — hiring and training staff, service, food and beverage, housekeeping and revenue management. It can be different from both the owner and the brand.
Greentown Hotel Management

Not the brand company — Vignette Collection supplies the name; Greentown Hotel Management runs the hotel.

BrandThe name on the door. The brand company sets standards and supplies the reservation system and loyalty programme — but it does not always run the hotel itself.

    The hotel's official Chinese name carries Greentown's own hotel brand 'Zunlan', and the property is a conversion of the former InterContinental Ningbo (the official domain is still intercontinentalningbo.cn). Operation by the Greentown side appears likely, but no source explicitly naming the operating entity has been obtained, so confidence stays probable.

Same brand. Different people running it.
