Rosewood Beijing is situated in the heart of Chaoyang District, Beijing's central business district, at Jing Guang Centre on Hujialou, directly opposite the iconic CCTV Headquarters tower by OMA. The location places the hotel at the intersection of the capital's diplomatic, commercial, and cultural corridors, with convenient access to the Third Ring Road, embassy quarter, and luxury retail destinations such as China World Mall.
The interior architecture was led by AB Concept (Hong Kong), founded by Ed Ng and Terence Ngan, who handled the guestrooms, suites, and key public spaces. The scheme marked Rosewood's debut in Asia (opened October 2014) and set the design language for the brand's subsequent Asian properties.
The design embodies Rosewood's "A Sense of Place" philosophy — a residential, collector's-home sensibility rather than a conventional grand hotel. AB Concept reinterpreted Beijing's courtyard-house (siheyuan) heritage through a contemporary lens: layered spatial sequences, artisanal Chinese craft (bronze, lacquer, silk, carved timber screens), and a curated contemporary art collection woven throughout. Warm, tactile materiality and intimate lighting create the atmosphere of a private urban manor, deliberately contrasting with the monumental glass architecture surrounding it.
The hotel operates under Rosewood Hotel Group, which is owned by Hong Kong's New World Development / Chow Tai Fook group (Cheng family), with the Beijing property developed in partnership with the local landholding entity at Jing Guang Centre.
Approximately 283 guestrooms and suites, among the largest entry-level rooms in Beijing (from ~50 m²), many with terraces or courtyard views. Dining includes The Country Kitchen (northern Chinese, open-kitchen concept), Red Bowl (contemporary hot pot), Bistrot B (French), and MEI bar with terrace. Additional facilities: Sense, A Rosewood Spa with indoor heated pool and fitness centre; Manor Club executive lounge; The Pavilion and grand ballroom event spaces; and the Rosewood Residences serviced apartments component.
