Accor has opened its 1,100th hotel in Asia Pacific, with the launch of the new Sofitel Beijing Central.
Sofitel Beijing Central is located in the heart of Beijing’s civic and diplomatic area, just moments from Jianguomen subway station. Tiananmen Square, the Forbidden City, the National Museum of China and the National Grand Theatre are all within easy reach of the hotel. Its design will see a marriage of modern French art de vivre and the capital’s resplendent imperial history, rich culture and storied traditions.
The new hotel features 345 spacious luxury rooms and suites, with Sofitel Club floors providing generous circular bathtubs and access to the brand new Club Millésime Lounge that will be launched towards the end of 2019.
The property boasts three impressive dining outlets that epitomise Sofitel’s authentic and lively food and beverage culture. Sofitel Beijing Central includes an all-day dining restaurant attached to an outdoor garden, which focuses on western and international cuisine with a French twist; a signature Chinese Restaurant; and a lobby lounge, which provides elegant afternoon tea and evening cocktails.
The hotel also has more than 1,500 square meters of event space including nine flexible meeting rooms for up to 400 delegates. Each space offers state-of-the-art technology for gatherings of any type, while recreational facilities include a day spa, fitness center and stunning indoor pool.
“We have had a record six months since announcing our 1,000th hotel with the Pullman Tokyo Tamachi late last year and it’s incredible to think that we have added another 100 hotels already since then,” says Michael Issenberg, chairman and chief executive officer, Accor Asia Pacific. “Sofitel Beijing Central will be a great addition to our network in China and will become one of the premier luxury hotels in the city.”
