Hilton Beijing Wangfujing set to open this month

Scheduled to open on 28 July 2008, Hilton Beijing Wangfujing sets the standard for modern comfort. Designed as a chic, intimate lifestyle hotel, featuring 255 guestrooms including 58 suites, the hotel is ideally located on Wangfujing Commercial Street, one of Beijing’s most prestigious addresses.

The property provides easy access to the city’s prominent commercial and cultural centres, and is a short walk from many major tourist and shopping attractions. Hilton Beijing Wangfujing will combine personalized service, bold, inspirational settings and bespoke amenities for guests demanding a unique lifestyle experience, and not merely a place to sleep.

Nils-Arne Schroeder, General Manager, Hilton Beijing Wangfujing commented, “We’re very excited to be opening this chic, intimate-style hotel, which is situated in a location considered to be the pinnacle of shopping, dining and entertainment in Beijing. Our guests will have convenient access to all the notable nightlife, cultural and commerce of this thriving district. Hilton’s reputation for exceptional guest service, coupled with traditional Chinese hospitality is the perfect blend for a hotel which will appeal to business travelers, leisure travelers, and meeting planners looking for a great new location to hold their events”.

Hilton Beijing Wangfujing will feature a classic yet contemporary interior style, with exacting attention to detail. The comfortable guestrooms will be among some of the largest in the city starting at 50 square metres. The rooms are bright and airy, with a contemporary look that incorporates dark woods and soft, natural hues of honey, ivory and chocolate which combine to create an effect that is richly layered and sophisticated. Well-defined work areas allow focused productivity. Adding to the experience, every room in this intimate lifestyle hotel features highly sophisticated in-room entertainment as well as broadband internet access for ease of communication.

Hilton Beijing Wangfujing will help raise the standard for business functions, with sophisticated meeting facilities that pair ideal meeting venues with impeccable service. Whether it is an exclusive board meeting, product launches or corporate-wide celebrations, the hotel will be the venue of choice for those wanting to host elegant, sophisticated events.

Gourmet palates will be enticed by the diverse selection of cuisine available in each of the property’s signature dining outlets. The restaurants and lounges pay homage to the contemporary design of this intimate-style hotel with a refreshing approach to fine cuisine accentuating on distinctive flavours, unique produce and varied menus showcasing the talents of the culinary team.

Taking center stage in the lobby is the Library; a chic lounge that will satiate any imaginable craving, be it an early cappuccino and a freshly baked croissant or an afternoon pick-me-up.

The hotel also features two signature restaurants; Vasco’s Macanese restaurant, inspired by a delectable blend of traditional Portuguese, Indian and Chinese cuisine, centering on fresh seafood, and Chynna a contemporary gourmet Chinese restaurant, designed to delight guests with its stunning décor, theatrical ambiance and modern interpretations of Cantonese, Sichuan, Anhui and Hunan cuisine.

For an escape from the ordinary, the intimate fireside bar Flames is an immersive experience that fuses the energy of an exclusive lounge with the sumptuous surroundings of an intimate-style bar.

The property’s spa introduces a whole new level of well-being to Beijing, offering a holistic approach to rejuvenation and relaxation with treatments and services that honour local traditions in healing and incorporate indigenous natural elements. A temperature controlled swimming pool and a comprehensive fitness centre by Precor® will further add to the hotel’s leisure facilities.

The opening of Hilton Beijing Wangfujing brings a new dimension to tourism for the city. From the hotel, visitors can explore the sights, sounds and experiences of Beijing. With its prime location and proximity to Beijing’s business hub, the hotel is expected to become the preferred choice for travellers visiting Beijing.
