Our Story: Where Global Vision Meets Beijing’s Heartbeat — The Legacy of Kerry Hotel, Beijing

Nestled at the vibrant epicenter of China’s capital, Kerry Hotel, Beijing is more than a luxury hotel — it is a living narrative of ambition, cultural exchange, and enduring hospitality. Since its inception in 1999 as the Kerry Centre Hotel, this iconic property has evolved into a beacon of modern elegance and warm service, seamlessly blending international standards with the soul of Beijing.

Our story begins with a vision: to create a sanctuary for global travelers and local pioneers alike — a place where business leaders convene, families create memories, and explorers recharge before venturing into the ancient alleys and futuristic skylines of one of the world’s most dynamic cities. Located at No.1 Guanghua Road, Chaoyang District, Beijing, 100020, we stand proudly within the city’s Central Business District (CBD), steps away from multinational headquarters, diplomatic missions, and cultural landmarks — a strategic position that reflects our mission: to connect people to opportunity, comfort, and discovery.

A Foundation of Excellence

From day one, Kerry Hotel was conceived as part of the prestigious Shangri-La Group, renowned for its commitment to “hospitality that touches hearts.” This heritage instilled in us a culture of excellence — where every guest interaction, every room detail, and every culinary creation is infused with intention and care. Our 486 thoughtfully designed rooms were crafted not just for rest, but for rejuvenation — featuring plush bedding, panoramic city or garden views, and cutting-edge technology to keep guests connected whether they’re closing deals or streaming movies after a long day of sightseeing.

In 2012, a comprehensive renovation reimagined our spaces for the modern traveler. We preserved the warmth and character that guests loved while elevating design, functionality, and sustainability — ensuring that Kerry Hotel remains not only relevant but ahead of its time.

A Home for Families, Dreamers, and Doers

We believe that true luxury lies in personalization and inclusivity. That’s why we pioneered Jiabao-themed rooms — playful, imaginative spaces designed to delight children with panda adventures and boy-hero motifs, complete with child-sized robes, slippers, and toothbrushes. For parents, it’s peace of mind; for kids, it’s magic. Our dedicated children’s pool, playground, and family-friendly dining options make Kerry Hotel a favorite among multi-generational travelers.

For business travelers, we offer more than convenience — we offer empowerment. With over 6,000 square meters of MICE space, including the pillarless Grand Ballroom, Kowloon Ballroom, and the scenic Rooftop Garden, we’ve hosted everything from Fortune 500 summits to intimate board retreats. Club Floor guests enjoy exclusive access to the Executive Lounge — a quiet haven for work or relaxation, offering complimentary breakfast, afternoon tea, evening cocktails, and private check-in/out.

Culinary Journeys Across Continents

Our story is also told through flavor. From the refined Cantonese cuisine of Horizon Chinese Restaurant to the vibrant all-day fare at Kerry’s Kitchen, our five distinct dining venues invite guests on a gastronomic journey. At Centro Bar, award-winning cocktails and live jazz create an ambiance where connections are made and stories unfold. And each morning, our lavish breakfast buffet (06:30–10:30) — praised by guests for its freshness and global variety — sets the tone for a day well begun.

Wellness, Connection, and Community

True luxury isn’t just about comfort — it’s about vitality. Our state-of-the-art gym, heated indoor pool, tennis and basketball courts, and outdoor jogging track empower guests to stay active. For those seeking serenity, our massage rooms, sauna, steam rooms, and Jacuzzi offer moments of pure indulgence. Whether you’re hitting the squash court or sipping wine under the stars on the Rooftop Garden, Kerry Hotel fosters a sense of balance and belonging.

Rooted in Beijing, Connected to the World

Our location is no accident. Just 490 meters from Jintaixizhao Metro Station and 680 meters from Guomao Station, we sit at the crossroads of commerce, culture, and connectivity. Guests can reach the Forbidden City, Tiananmen Square, or Sanlitun in minutes — yet return to the calm oasis of our lush indoor garden and serene corridors.

We speak your language — literally. With staff fluent in English and Mandarin, and translation tools available at the front desk, communication is never a barrier. Our 24-hour concierge ensures that every need — from booking a Great Wall tour to arranging airport transfers — is met with grace and efficiency.

The Kerry Promise: Hospitality That Touches Hearts

Over two decades, we’ve welcomed diplomats, CEOs, artists, and families — each leaving their mark on our story. Their feedback, suggestions, and smiles have shaped us into what we are today: a hotel that doesn’t just meet expectations, but exceeds them.

We listen. We adapt. We innovate. And we never forget that behind every reservation is a person — someone seeking comfort, connection, or inspiration. That’s why we continue to refine our services, upgrade our facilities, and deepen our commitment to sustainability and community.

At Kerry Hotel, Beijing, our story is still being written — one guest, one smile, one unforgettable experience at a time. Join us. Let us be part of your next chapter.

Welcome home — to the heart of Beijing.
