City overview: Over 5,000 additional rooms earmarked for Beijing [Infographic]
Over 5,000 new hotel rooms will further expand Beijing’s hospitality offering and bring more high-profile international brands to the Chinese capital, the TOPHOTELPROJECTS construction database reveals.
Beijing has no fewer than 24 separate hotel projects, encompassing 5,420 additional rooms in total, in its development pipeline. We find out more about these exciting new schemes.
Beijing hotel projects by year
In 2020, five hotels with 1,167 rooms are slated to go live, of which three are already in the pre-opening phase. Eight properties with 2,030 keys will open in 2021, followed by another 11 in 2022 and beyond.
14 of the 24 new hotels will be in the four-star segment, while the remaining ten will fall into the five-star category.
Top hotel brands growing in Beijing
Hilton is clearly taking its expansion in Beijing seriously, with four hotels in the pipeline. Two of them will belong to DoubleTree by Hilton, adding 596 keys to the brand. The other two will be under the Hilton Garden Inn flag and bring 447 rooms into play.
Hyatt Regency will also open two properties in the coming years, with a grand total of 400 rooms between them.
The hottest hotel projects in Beijing
Nuo Hotel Beijing Universal Studios will launch in late 2021, boasting 400 rooms. As the name suggests, it will be close to the Universal Studios theme park. There, the new property will compete for guests with Park Inn by Radisson Beijing Tongzhou and the 800-room Universal Studios Grand Hotel, thought to be the largest hotel in Beijing’s pipeline. All three properties will offer easy access to the theme park as well as a variety of their own entertainment options.
Located in north-east Beijing’s cosmopolitan Shunyi district, meanwhile, the 300-room Pullman Beijing Luneng is part of a mixed-use project blending together a combination of residential, retail and office units. The newest member to join the upscale Pullman family, the hotel will be a short walk away from the Golf Country Club and Olympic Water Park and just a five-minute drive from the Qiaobo Ski Stadium, making it a perfect option for leisure travellers. The opening is planned for late 2022.
Slated to open in late 2021, by contrast, the 200-room Shangri-La Hotel Beijing Shougang will be situated close to the city’s Shougang Park. This attractive property will be close to the ski ramp used in the 2022 Winter Olympics, as well as the ice rink that the national hockey, figure-skating, curling and speed-skating teams use as a training centre. Its excellent facilities and proximity to the competition grounds no doubt helped make the new Shangri-La an obvious choice as one of the competition’s official hotels.
