Waldorf Astoria Opens in Beijing

Hilton has expanded its portfolio of hotels in China with the opening of Waldorf Astoria Beijing, the second Waldorf Astoria hotel in China.

Waldorf Astoria Beijing features 176 guest rooms and suites, three restaurants, including Peacock Alley, Brasserie1893 and Zijin Mansion, 796 square meters of function meeting space, a spa and fitness center with heated indoor swimming pool.

The hotel is operated by Hilton Worldwide and owned by China Oil & Foodstuffs Corporation (COFCO).

Waldorf Astoria Beijing is located in the heart of the city on the former site of Xianliang Temple, which was the permanent residence of Li Hongzhang, the first Chinese guest to stay at the iconic Waldorf Astoria New York.

The hotel is just 27 kilometers from Beijing International Airport, 2.5 kilometers from Beijing Railway Station and is within walking distance of the Dengshikou Subway Station.

Guest rooms include 38 suites in the main hotel tower and the Waldorf Hutong Villa, three Hutong studios and a room housed in two villas with private entrances located in a garden courtyard.

Waldorf Astoria Beijing is comprised of two buildings with varying styles. The main tower is an elegant bronze building which will transform its color as it ages. The surrounding Hutong Villas bear the elements of ancient Imperial China.

The hotel joins Waldorf Astoria Shanghai on the Bund as the brand’s portfolio expands in China.
