Police in Southwest China’s Chongqing municipality has given its approval to reopen the Hilton Hotel after a weeklong suspension for activities involving gang-related businesses.
The police agreed the hotel could resume trial operations after an inspection tour by the city’s deputy police chief Gao Xiaodong.
The Chongqing Hilton Hotel was ordered to suspend operations on June 20 after some of its employees were found to have conspired with gangsters to allow prostitution and drug-related activities at the hotel.
Though the hotel has been permitted to resume all its services, the Diamond Dynasty karaoke club located in the basement of the premises will remain shut.
Police raided the club a day before the hotel was shut down and detained 102 suspects, of whom 22 were arrested.
