Mandarin Oriental has doubled its presence in China’s capital with an exquisite new property opening its doors yesterday, nestled in the heart of a traditional hutong neighbourhood. With just 42 courtyard houses, Mandarin Oriental Qianmen, Beijing offers a blend of luxury and local culture.
Designed by renowned Chinese artist Xu Bing, it incorporates his original “Square Character Calligraphy”, which arranges alphabets into rectangular forms that resemble Chinese characters. “Unveil Beijing’s Soul” is inscribed on the fan in Chinese ink, capturing the spirit of the hotel.
Situated within the cultural heart of Beijing’s Central Axis, the hotel enjoys a prime location, offering incomparable access to the capital’s most iconic sites.
Immersive dining experiences at Mandarin Oriental Qianmen include Yan Garden, where Michelin-starred Chef Fei and his team craft superb Cantonese cuisine. Guests can also enjoy TIAO, a contemporary cocktail bar offering innovative drinks and upscale Beijing-inspired bar fare, or indulge in authentic, relaxed regional Italian dishes at VICINI. For a more serene escape, Maple Lounge provides an intimate setting, serving the finest teas in a tranquil courtyard.
The Spa at Mandarin Oriental provides guests with a transformative experience beyond relaxation, featuring private treatment suites, a Tea House, a healing space and a fitness centre.
