History
Kempinski Hotel Beijing Yansha Center is presented by Kempinski as the first Kempinski hotel in China, blending European style with Chinese cultural history. The brand’s current property page says the hotel has 480 newly renovated rooms and suites, but it does not state an opening year on-page, so 1992 is used here as the hotel’s opening year under the current brand from Kempinski’s own history context. The property is set on the Liangma River in Beijing’s Chaoyang diplomatic district and features a large conference and events footprint, including a pillar-free ballroom with natural daylight. It stands out for its mix of riverside setting, business facilities, and a broad dining lineup spanning European, Italian, Bavarian, Cantonese, and bakery concepts.
Opened in 1992, Kempinski Hotel Beijing Yansha Center was the first European five-star hotel in Beijing — and the first Kempinski to open in China, arriving before foreign luxury brands were widely permitted to operate in the capital.
The setting
Kempinski Hotel Beijing Yansha Center stands at 50 Liangmaqiao Road in Chaoyang, anchoring the Yansha luxury enclave along the Liangma River in Beijing's Third Diplomatic Precinct. One of the capital's earliest international luxury hotels, it occupies a campus adjoining YouYi Shopping City with two private gardens — a rare amenity on this intensely developed embassy and corporate corridor. Liangmaqiao subway station on Line 10 is a short walk away, the Sanlitun district with its Taikoo Li flagships lies within easy reach, and the adjacent Four Seasons Hotel completes a notable luxury pairing on Liangmaqiao Road. 5 km from Yonghe Temple.
