The Legendale Hotel Beijing has officially opened its door.

Set to become an instant sensation, the platinum 5-star hotel is the epitome of European elegance and luxury.

Occupying a prime position in the heart of town, the 390-room hotel is ideally located to make the most of both old and new Beijing. Adjoining 79 opulent serviced apartments as well as 126 private residential apartments, the property neighbours the brand new Hong Kong Jockey Club, and is minutes walk from world-class shopping precincts such as Wangfujing and Oriental Plaza. In pleasant contrast, the Legendale Hotel is surrounded by some of Beijing’s best preserved hutong alleyways, brimming with colour and activity. A number of China’s most significant landmarks and historical sites are within walking distance of the hotel, including Tiananmen Square, the Forbidden City and the Drum and Bell Towers, amongst other attractions.

Inspired by the palatial architecture of Southern Europe, the hotel’s exterior is reminiscent of a 19th century building in downtown Paris. The multiple-domed roof is peaked with decorative turrets, while delicate lacing frames windows to create a spectacular streetside vista unlike any other in Beijing.

Guests at the Legendale Hotel Beijing will also be treated to pleasant views of lush, landscaped gardens, stylishly designed with an imperial flavour. Towering European Ash trees intermingle with detailed water features alongside charming flower gardens overflowing with colour.

Inside, the breathtaking lobby features a 17-story atrium - the centerpiece a priceless artwork suspended high above the ground. Gilded staircases wind skyward creating a theatre-like ambiance with elaborate balconies at each level. Mirroring the loftiness of the entrance, guestrooms and suites are amongst the largest in Beijing, with high ceilings, an abundance of natural light, and floor space starting from 43-square-meters.

Imported from Europe, antique furniture and decorations are featured throughout the hotel to create a truly opulent, neo-classical ambiance. Fabrics are rich in texture and colour creating an elegant, and instantly tactile, experience.

Aside from the unique design, the Legendale Hotel Beijing is set to inspire with some of the finest dining and entertainment outlets in the city. Across a medley of eight venues, signature establishments include an exclusive Portuguese restaurant serving impeccable Macanese and Portuguese cuisine. The hotel also delights with a French fine dining restaurant and a Chinese restaurant serving exquisite Cantonese specialties fare and delicate dim sum.
