Sheraton Hotels & Resorts has continued its expansion in China with the opening of Sheraton Beijing Lize Hotel.

Part of Fengtai District, the new Sheraton is located in the new Lize Financial Business District, an office and retail hub that will host over 500 banking and financial companies. Positioned with strategic access to the primary Ring Road thoroughfares, the hotel is within a short drive from major attractions and commercial hubs including the Beijing Financial Street and both major railway stations in the southwest. The upcoming Lize area will include a soon-to-be-built city terminal with direct rail access to the new Beijing Daxing International Airport, giving greater connectivity to guests travelling to the city for business or leisure.

Inspired by the magnificent landscapes and natural beauty of Qinghai Province, the hotel’s soaring lines and distinctive curved structure reflect the mountainous plateaus that are emblematic of the region. The 23-meter atrium lobby, flanked by towering glass murals that depict the great peaks and clear rivers of Qinghai, gives an immediate sense of grandeur, while 16 large ceramic vases around the murals lend classic Chinese aesthetic while a large bronze statue at the entrance represents the earth and mountains.

The 325 guestrooms and suites incorporate contemporary design with modern greys and warm beige tones as well as highlighted accents of modern art influenced by the Qinghai province. This, combined with the floor-to-ceiling windows and vaulted LED lighted ceilings, emanates a sense of relaxation and space for the guest to enjoy. The thoughtfully-designed rooms also feature spacious bathrooms, 55-inch LCD televisions, premium bedding, and high-speed wifi internet access to ensure comfort, connectivity, and functionality. Suite rooms feature a Bang & Olufsen audio system that allows guests to choose either an exceptional audio experience from their television or from their own Bluetooth connected personal device.

Club Room and Suite guests as well as qualifying Marriott Bonvoy members have access to the Sheraton Club Lounge, a relaxing and upscale space that offers complimentary breakfast and evening cocktails paired with canapés and desserts. Guests can also enjoy a wide range of onsite facilities including the Sheraton Fitnesscenter, which has an indoor heated swimming pool and comprehensive gym with sweeping views of the city.

Distinctive restaurants and bars provide a range of dining venues for guests and locals alike. Authentic Cantonese cuisine and an all-you-can-eat dim sum lunch are served in Yue, while guests can enjoy international dinner buffet sets amid an open kitchen and seven interactive food stations at FEAST. Qing Hai specializes in the delicacies of northwest China and fresh seafood hotpot with tantalizing broths and at The Lounge business travellers can connect with friends and colleagues within the hotel’s majestic atrium lobby lounge.

Sheraton Beijing Lize Hotel is also ideal for business meetings, conferences, and social events. The hotel houses an 800-square-meter Grand Ballroom, a 450-square-meter Junior Ballroom, along with seven meeting rooms of various sizes. Designed to enhance social affairs, both the Grand and Junior ballrooms are pillar-less and have their own impressive pre-function foyers, remaining entirely independent of one another. A team of experienced event professionals is on hand to ensure a seamless experience for every guest during their events.

“Sheraton Hotels and Resorts is often one of the first international brands to enter into new, emerging destinations and in 1985, Sheraton was the first international-branded hotel in China when we opened our doors in Beijing,” says Mike Fulkerson, vice president, Brand & Marketing, Asia Pacific, Marriott International. “Now, more than 30 years later, we’re excited to open the third Sheraton in the city with the Sheraton Beijing Lize Hotel situated in the upcoming Lize Financial Business District. We hope that it will be a gathering place for guests and locals alike to come together.”
