Beijing's Wangfujing Preps For New Hilton Hotel Opening

Scheduled to open on July 8, 2008, Hilton Beijing Wangfujing will feature 255 guestrooms including 58 suites.

The hotel will be housed in the Macau Center Complex, located on Wangfujing Commercial Street, and will combine personalized service, bold, inspirational settings and bespoke amenities for guests demanding a unique lifestyle experience.

Nils-Arne Schroeder, general manager of the hotel, commented, "We're very excited to be opening this chic, intimate-style hotel, which is situated in a location considered to be the pinnacle of shopping, dining and entertainment in Beijing. Our guests will have convenient access to all the notable nightlife, cultural and commerce of this thriving district. Hilton's reputation for exceptional guest service, coupled with traditional Chinese hospitality is the perfect blend for a hotel which will appeal to business travelers, leisure travelers, and meeting planners looking for a great new location to hold their events."

The comfortable guestrooms will be among some of the largest in the capital city starting at 50 square meters. Well-defined work areas in the rooms allow focused productivity. Adding to the experience, every room in the hotel features in-room entertainment as well as wired and wireless Internet access for ease of communication.

The hotel also features two signature restaurants: Vasco's Macanese restaurant, inspired by a delectable blend of traditional Portuguese, Indian and Chinese cuisine, centering on fresh seafood, and Chynna, a contemporary gourmet Chinese restaurant, designed to delight guests with its stunning decor, theatrical ambiance and modern interpretations of Cantonese, Sichuan, Anhui and Hunan cuisine.
