Six hotels in Qingdao have held a ceremony at Shangri-La Hotel Qingdao and have promised to offer "smile service" for the 2008 Olympic Games.

The six hotels are Shangri-La Hotel Qingdao, Crowne Plaza Qingdao, Hotel Equatorial Qingdao, Haiqing Hotel, Huanhai Gloria Inn Qingdao, and Post & Telecom Hotel. Though most of the Olympic games will take place in Beijing, some boating contests will be held in Qingdao.

The hotles promise they will provide accommodation services to Olympic game members who come to Qingdao to participate in the boating contests, the technicians, the media and Olympic game sponsors.
