Mandarin Oriental Hotel Group will manage a luxury hotel project in the heart of Beijing. It is expected to open in 2018.
Located in a traditional hutong quarter, close to Tiananmen Square, Mandarin Oriental says the hotel will provide guests “with a rare opportunity to experience luxury living in traditional and authentic Beijing surroundings”.
Mandarin Oriental Qianmen, Beijing, is located within the Qianmen East Hutong Quarter, which is undergoing a process of preservation and regeneration.
Hutongs date back to the 13th century and comprise traditional courtyard houses connected by narrow lanes and alleyways. The architectural style of the Beijing courtyard is unique to the hutongs of the capital city.
The hotel will be dispersed throughout the Qianmen East Hutong Quarter alongside privately owned traditional residences, retail outlets, restaurants, bars and cultural venues.
Mandarin Oriental Qianmen, Beijing will provide landscaped courtyard suites where guests will experience the traditional Beijing way of life within the labyrinth of alleys and lanes in one of the city’s oldest quarters.
The hotel will also feature a variety of dining venues within the hutong courtyards, including an all-day dining concept with a roof terrace, a Chinese restaurant, a lobby lounge, a traditional tea lounge and a signature Mandarin cake shop.
The hotel is being developed by Beijing Tianjie Group Company Limited.
