Abstract  Different from Taylor's inter-city connectivity research based on multinational productive services distribution, this paper chooses to initiate city interlocking research based on typical consumer services——international hotel groups' location choices as complementary contribution to current city network research. For this purpose, three main conclusions have been obtained based on systematic measurement and analysis:Firstly, city hierarchy system has taken into shape with Shanghai, Beijing, Hangzhou and Xi'an serve as national hotel centers, among which Shanghai and Beijing qualify to perform as one of international hotel centers and world sojourn cities, and in addition, and furthermore, a batch of regional and local hotel centers like Suzhou, Chongqing and Chengdu, etc, are shaping up with promising potentials. Secondly, there have been huge differences among Bohai Sea Region, Yangtze River Delta and Pan Pearl River Delta on both inner and inter-city connectivity comparisons with regard to international hotel group service value definition, and Yangtze River Delta ranks first in terms of both total and average connectivity, followed by Pan Pearl River Delta and Yangtze River Delta respectively, which means city interlocking network has a healthy structure in Yangtze River Delta than the other two regions. Thirdly, international hotel group location choices in China characterized in low-end locking within global hotel production network.
