Opened in 2013, Kempinski Hotel Taiyuan was the first international five-star hotel in the Shanxi capital — a city that sits atop China's largest coal reserves and whose Dragon City ambitions required a luxury anchor in its southern commercial hub.

The hotel is located in Taiyuan, in the southern commercial hub of the city, which the brand describes as the core area of the 'Dragon City'. This places it in a business and convention-oriented part of the city rather than a historic quarter.
