Intercontinental Beijing Beichen, China

Combining the best of 21st century with the best of the Oriental past, the InterContinental Beijing Beichen is a magnificent example of modernism that even traditionalists could fall in love with on first glance.

The façade of the hotel may be unassuming, but once you step foot over the threshold, welcome to the future. The lobby is slightly dark, what with the glossy black winding staircase and the dark tan marble walls, but it looks moody and sophisticated at the same time. With subtle pin and spotlight lighting, this is a place that oozes understated modern charm and sophistication.



Standard rooms are among the most luxurious I have ever come across. Stylishly decorated in tones of cream and beige, the beds are as comfortable as a dream, the linen fresh and crisp, plush furnishings and so much space you couldn’t possibly know what to do with it. The rooms are all contemporary in style, but they feature modern Asian motifs which make it warm and give you that sense of tradition.

The hotel offers a series of 42 individually decorated suites, each presenting guests with only the best amenities. With a butler service, a meeting room, huge plasma televisions, valet service, a morning newspaper delivered to your room every morning and traditional Chinese antiques in your suite, how could you possibly leave?



The InterContinental Beijing Beichen offers only the best to their guests and they apply this motto to their restaurants as well. The Di Chinese Restaurant serves the freshest and tastiest authentic Chinese meals from China. The braised duck with beer is simply divine.

Va Piano is class and romance. Taking the best from Italian cuisine and combining it with heavenly romantic elements, this restaurant is the perfect place to wow a date, whether staying at the hotel or not.

Café O2 is the place to go if you are looking for casual sophistication. Stop here to sample only the very best of international fine wines and to try one of the many tasty light snacks and appetisers. They do some great salads, pastries and Oriental meals here.

At night, the Lobby lounge is a great location to sit back and unwind with a glass of wine or cocktail whilst talking with friends. The wall to wall glass windows offers spectacular views of the city and the soft piano music will liven up your soul. Perfect.



Whatever you are looking for in ways of leisure you can find it here. The InterContinental Beijing Beichen offers a great health and fitness centre with a good range of fitness equipment and the spa will make you feel like a king or queen with their range of traditional and modern treatments.

With a sauna, steam room and swimming pool, plus a fully stocked games room, you might never want to leave the hotel, but when you do the tour desk can help you arrange different excursions in Beijing and around the rest of this beautiful country.



For those staying here on business, the InterContinental Beijing Beichen can offer you a businessperson’s dream. The ballroom is magnificently decorated in a dark, sophisticated and professional manner and the equipment, along with the other conference rooms and business staff, is world class.
