Hyatt Opens Award-Winning Hotel in China

Hyatt has expanded its portfolio of hotels in China with the opening of Commune by the Great Wall in the Yangqing District of Beijing, the sixth property in China to be part of The Unbound Collection by Hyatt brand.

The 176-room hotel is located just over an hour’s drive from downtown Beijing in the foothills of the peaceful Shuiguan Mountains amid an intensely beautiful landscape of undulating hills and valleys.

“We are delighted to expand The Unbound Collection by Hyatt brand in China with Commune by the Great Wall, a unique retreat blending the natural beauty of the surroundings with modern architecture,” said Stephen Ho, president of growth and operations for Asia Pacific, Hyatt. “We look forward to the hotel welcoming guests to a peaceful escape where they can indulge in story-worthy experiences next to one of China’s most celebrated UNESCO World Heritage sites.”

Originally conceived as a private collection of contemporary architecture designed by 12 Asian architects, Commune by the Great Wall was bestowed a special prize at the 2002 La Biennale di Venezia and, in 2005, was hailed by Business Week as a “New Architectural Wonder of China”.

Today, the hotel has 176 rooms and suites spread across 36 villas, including Cantilever House, Bamboo Wall (pictured), Shared House, Forest House, and a collection of resort-inspired villas where most rooms feature a private terrace.

Each villa has its own unique design theme, from the Japanese-inspired Bamboo Wall, which offers five bedrooms and a tea room, to Forest House, a cozy six-bedroom hideaway designed to reflect the woods that surround it outside.

Guests can enjoy mountain views from every room and access to the villas’ shared living spaces.

An entire villa can also be booked for the ultimate private retreat with family or friends.

Facilities at the hotel include a variety of F&B outlets, a spa with 15 treatment rooms, fitness centre, kids club, and a myriad of different event spaces.

“We are thrilled to invite guests to experience a one-of-a-kind retreat at Commune by the Great Wall,” said Ivan Seet, general manager of the hotel. “Here guests can find their own sanctuary in our stunning villas and discover adventure for all the senses amid the majesty of the landscape all within walking distance of one of the most remarkable sites in the world.”
