One of the region's most spectacular hotels welcomed its first guests in February; the Sunrise Kempinski Hotel opened its doors about 60 kilometres north of central Beijing, directly on Yanqi Lake with views of the Yanshan mountain range, and close to the Mutianyu section of the Great Wall of China.
Sunrise Kempinski Hotel is designed to resemble a rising sun and provides 306 rooms and suites over 21 floors with panoramas of the breathtaking surrounding landscape.
With the opening of this hotel, Kempinski's Yanqi Island project with the Yanqi Hotel managed by Kempinski and twelve Boutique Hotels managed by Kempinski is complete. Fourteen hotels on the lakeshore and on Yanqi Island cater for leisure travellers and will delight meeting, conference and incentives organisers. 14,069 square metres of event space, a conference centre, 14 restaurants and bars, 14 spas, a private marina and a nine-storey pagoda are just part of the facilities available.
Sunrise Kempinski Hotel opened on February 2, 2015.
