Hotel Overview

Since its opening as a design hotel the Commune by the Great Wall Kempinski has become a must-visit place in Beijing, receiving over 200,000 visitors. It has become a showcase of contemporary Chinese and Asian architecture and has been widely covered by both Chinese and international media. This edgy design hotel is a monumental breakthrough in Asian architecture, and has become an icon of new China.

Managed by Kempinski since August 2005, it is considered as SOHO China's most creative project. Set amid the mountains near the Shuiguan section of the Great Wall, the 8 square kilometer development is a private collection of contemporary architecture designed by 12 Asian architects. This design hotel won an architectural prize at the Biennale di Venezia in 2002
