The St. Regis Beijing
Beijing, China · St. Regis · Grand Luxury
The St. Regis Beijing opened in October 1997 as the brand's first hotel in China, in the heart of the original embassy quarter on Jianguomenwai Avenue. Its Iridium Spa draws mineral water from a natural hot spring 1,500 metres directly below the property, a geological anomaly beneath central Beijing that remains one of the rarest amenity features of any city-centre luxury hotel in Asia.
- 258 rooms
- Opened 1997
- Neighborhood: Jianguomen
- Rooms from 323 sq ft (30 m²)
About The St. Regis Beijing
- The Iridium Spa's hot springs rise from 1,500 metres underground, one of the very few natural geothermal sources tapped directly beneath a city-centre luxury hotel in Asia, producing mineral-rich water that flows through a special filter into jacuzzis at three different temperatures.
- The hotel's $27 million renovation ahead of the 2008 Beijing Olympics restored all 258 guest rooms and public spaces, cementing its standing as the diplomatic community's preferred address in the capital.
- As the first St. Regis in China, the hotel introduced the brand's hallmark butler service and Bloody Mary ritual to a market where these concepts were unknown, a cultural beachhead that preceded all subsequent Marriott luxury-brand expansion into mainland China.
History
The St. Regis Beijing opened in October 1997 as the first St. Regis hotel in China, introducing the brand's legendary butler service and rituals to the diplomatic and business district of Beijing. It underwent a comprehensive $27 million renovation in 2008, restoring its 258 guest rooms, suites, and public spaces. Known as the grande dame of Beijing hotels, it holds cultural significance in blending Western luxury with Chinese hospitality traditions.
The setting
The St. Regis Beijing presides over 21 Jianguomenwai Dajie in the heart of the capital's original embassy quarter in Chaoyang — a quiet diplomatic thoroughfare where foreign missions cluster within a ten-minute walk. Since opening in October 1997, the hotel has defined luxury on this stretch: Jianguomen subway station is seven minutes on foot, the Silk Market lies close by, and the hotel's Iridium Spa taps a natural hot spring from 1,500 metres below the surface. Chang'an Avenue leads west toward Tiananmen Square and the Forbidden City in under fifteen minutes by car.
