Grand Hyatt Beijing opened its doors in Beijing Oriental Plaza, right in the heart of Beijing in October 2001. This year, Grand Hyatt Beijing is commemorating the milestone of its first decade with a series of anniversary celebrations, dedicated to the local and international communities, in appreciation for their enormous support.

Both local and international corporate guests, government officials, ambassadors along with other honored guests were invited to enjoy the impressive cocktail dinner in the Grand Ballroom, providing a great way for guests to rediscover why Grand Hyatt Beijing is one of the most celebrated hotels in the past ten years.

Grand Hyatt Beijing has won over 100 awards to date, including “The World’s 500 Best Hotels” from Travel + Leisure; “Best Business Hotel in Beijing” from the Business Traveller Asia-Pacific and our signature outlet, Made in China has been leading the trend among all the Chinese open kitchens, being voted as “Best 50 Restaurants in China” from Food & Wine Magazine Chinese edition and “Top Food of Beijing Restaurants” from Zagat Survey.

With its prestigious location and authentic hospitality, the hotel has accommodated a great number of celebrities, like the king of fashion, Karl Lagerfeld, Hollywood actor Nicolas Cage, heads of state and government dignitaries, such as Bill Clinton and Angela Merkel, to name but a few. In addition, as one of the most sophisticated off-site event providers, Grand Hyatt Beijing has worked its magic on numerous high profile events, including Fendi Fashion Show on the Great Wall, Porsche 10th celebration and the launch of Tiffany Blue Book at Tai Miao.

These recognitions demonstrate the hotel’s consistent dedication to providing its guests nothing but the best in all aspects of hospitality, and carrying on the unique identity of the Grand Hyatt.
