History
Kempinski's Yanqi Island house is twelve siheyuan-inspired pavilion villas on a 65-hectare private island in Yanqi Lake, Huairou. The compound lodged heads of state for APEC 2014 and the Belt and Road Forums of 2017 and 2019. One hundred seventy-eight rooms are reached only by water or bridge; each pavilion can be taken over as a self-contained mini-hotel. Design borrows from Beijing courtyard houses and imperial gardens.
The setting
The Yanqi Island State Guest Villas occupy the entirety of Yanqi Island, a 65-hectare ensemble of architecture and landscape set within Yanqi Lake in Beijing's Huairou District, surrounded by calm water and framed by the Yan Mountain range to the north. The twelve villas were conceived as the residential centrepiece of the Yanqi Lake International Conference Resort, hosting heads of state at the 2014 APEC summit and Belt and Road Forums. The Mutianyu Great Wall section lies within thirty minutes of the lakeside.
