Beijing, China · Fairmont · Core Luxury
Fairmont's first hotel in China opened in October 2010 in Beijing's CBD, a 25-storey rose-gold glass bridge by Paul Tange, son of Pritzker laureate Kenzo Tange, shaped to echo a traditional Chinese city gate and linked by skyway to Reignwood Centre. Inside, 222 rooms by Singapore's LTW sit above The Cut steakhouse and Cantonese Lunar 8. Unusually for any hotel in China, the property partners with Te Ao Farm and employs staff with learning disabilities while sourcing most produce from nearby small farms.

History
Fairmont Beijing opened in 2009 in the Jianguomenwai district, close to the Embassy Row area and the Beijing central business district. The hotel occupies a curved tower offering views of the city's skyline and serves as a premier business hotel in China's capital. The property hosts diplomatic functions, major corporate events, and serves the international business community concentrated in east Beijing. Its opening marked Fairmont's growing Chinese portfolio, which expanded significantly through the 2010s.
The setting
Fairmont Beijing occupies 8 Yong'an Dongli on Jianguomenwai Avenue in Chaoyang — the artery that defines the Central Business District — five minutes from Yonganli subway station. The hotel sits within the Guomao business cluster anchored by the China World Trade Centre and the CCTV Tower, at the productive intersection of diplomacy and commerce: major embassies and the eclectic Silk Market lie nearby, while Ritan Park offers a composed imperial-altar garden minutes from the door. Tiananmen Square and the Forbidden City are a fifteen-minute drive west along Chang'an Avenue.
