Singapore, 8 August 2017 – Pan Pacific Hotels Group has announced that Pan Pacific Beijing (北京泛太平洋酒店) will open on 20 August as the latest luxury hotel in the prime Xicheng district of Beijing, offering unparalleled access to the renowned Financial Street and the capital city's administrative centre.

The hotel's strategic location also puts it within a 2.5-kilometre walking radius to historical landmarks like Tiananmen Square and the Forbidden City.

Built to the highest specifications, Pan Pacific Beijing features 220 luxurious and contemporary guestrooms and suites which start from an expansive 45 square metres. Reservations can now be made on panpacific.com.

Its comprehensive conference and meeting spaces includes a Grand Ballroom with a double volume ceiling, and the exclusive Amber Lounge on Level 18 which offers spectacular views across the city to the Forbidden City.

The meticulous and thoughtful design of this new-build hotel is evident through unique touches such as a retractable roof for its 20-metre indoor swimming pool and a conservatory-style Winter Garden on Level 1, which is connected to Exchange, the all-day dining restaurant.

Other dining options will include Pan Pacific's signature Hai Tien Lo Chinese restaurant and Keyaki Japanese restaurant. Refreshing leisure facilities are located on a dedicated wellness floor, which, in addition to the swimming pool, will include a 24-hour state-of-the-art fitness centre as well as a spa with steam and sauna facilities.
