Mandarin Oriental announces new hotel in Beijing

Mandarin Oriental Hotel Group has announced that it will manage another property in the Wangfujing district of Beijing.

Scheduled to open in 2017, the Mandarin Oriental Wangfujing will be located in the new mixed-use ‘WF Central’ site, being developed by Wangfu Central Real Estate Development Company Limited, an affiliated company of Hongkong Land.

Located on the top two floors of the property, the hotel has been designed by architects Kohn Pedersen Fox. All 74 guestrooms and suites will have Mandarin Oriental’s in-room entertainment system and some will have views of the Forbidden City.

Both of the hotel’s restaurants will have access to a rooftop garden terrace and the bar will be connected to a private courtyard. Other facilities will include a Spa at Mandarin Oriental, an indoor swimming pool fitness centre.

“Beijing continues to develop in stature as one of the world’s leading destinations, and we are delighted at the opportunity of opening a second hotel in this important capital city,” said Edouard Ettedgui, group chief executive of Mandarin Oriental.

“With WF Central being Hongkong Land’s debut flagship commercial development in Beijing, we look forward to working with Mandarin Oriental again to create a truly exceptional lifestyle experience in the heart of the city, following our inaugural partnership on The Landmark Mandarin Oriental in Hong Kong,” said Y K Pang, chief executive of Hongkong Land.
