Hyatt Hotels has opened the Commune by the Great Wall in the Yangqing District of Beijing, marking the sixth property in China for The Unbound Collection by Hyatt brand.

Distinguished by modern architectural masterpieces that stand in beautiful contrast to the ancient architectural wonder of the Great Wall, the 176-room hotel offers business travellers and event and incentive planners an unforgettable journey of discovery off the well-trodden path.

The hotel lies nestled in the foothills of the peaceful Shuiguan Mountains amid an intensely beautiful landscape of undulating hills and valleys. In this remote spot just over an hour’s drive from downtown Beijing, the hotel offers corporate travellers a quiet refuge from the hustle and bustle to reconnect with nature, each other and oneself.

Rooms and Villas

Originally conceived as a private collection of contemporary homes designed by 12 Asian architects and operated by Kempinski, 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, 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 corporate retreat.

Dining with a View

Fresh seasonal ingredients and scenic mountain views provide an intimate connection with the locale when dining at Commune by the Great Wall. The Commune Kitchen tempts palates with refined Chinese cuisine and an emphasis on the authentic flavours of China’s northern region. The Poolside Café and Bar serves light bites and is the perfect spot to enjoy sunset on the terrace. Corporate guests can also create a collectible moment with a tailor-made private dining experience, from an in-villa meal prepared by a personal chef to a gourmet picnic on the Great Wall.

Wellness and Meetings

Rejuvenation awaits at the hotel’s spa featuring 15 luxurious spa rooms and a fitness centre providing space for a revitalizing workout and mindful practices such as tai chi and yoga. Y

The hotel also features indoor and outdoor venues like no other for corporate gatherings and events, supported by experienced event planning and catering teams and state-of-the-art facilities. The hotel’s Suitcase House villa offers 1,076 square feet (100 square meters) of daylight-filled multifunctional space for meetings, while the 9,213-square-foot (856-square-meter) Commune Ballroom adjoined by an outdoor courtyard is ideal for conferences and exhibitions. Intimate events can be held on the Commune Lawn surrounded by forest, or up among the treetops in an exclusive rooftop setting.
