Kempinski Hotel Beijing Lufthansa Center

Hotel Overview



History

Kempinski Hotel Beijing Lufthansa Center opened in 1992 and instantly became a landmark in China’s capital city with facilities and services of extraordinary scope.

The center pioneered the concept of a fully integrated business complex with offices, deluxe serviced apartments, showrooms, luxury hotel and international shopping plaza, all under one roof.

The “Grand Opening” brought together leaders and celebrities from the political, diplomatic, art and business communities under the auspices of the Mayor of Beijing and the German Ambassador.

Nestled in the heart of the Beijing Lufthansa Center, Kempinski Hotel Beijing offered a new standard of accommodation with 526 handsomely appointed guestrooms and suites, extensive meeting space and vibrant recreational facilities. The hotel immediately established a strong reputation for the quality and variety of its restaurants from Beijing’s premier microbrewery, Paulaner Brauhaus to Cafe Kranzler, an authentic Austrian eatery and Symphony, the exclusive dining room dedicated to international cuisine.

Within one year, leading international companies established their offices or regional headquarters at the Beijing Lufthansa Center. Such companies included Lufthansa Airlines, West-LB, Sinotech and Richmers-Linie. Hotel is proud to still count them as their tenants to this day, a sure sign that the Beijing Lufthansa Center still offers an unrivalled business environment.

Leading political leaders enjoy Kempinski’s hospitality during their official visits to Beijing. German Chancellors Kohl and Schroeder, Prime Minister Jean Cretien of Canada, His Royal Highness the King of Spain, Juan Carlos, the British Prime Minister, Tony Blair, and most recently German President Johannes Rau and the President of Ireland, Mrs. Mary McAleese are amongst the happy few who enjoyed the level of attention associated with Kempinski’s tradition of excellence. Over the years, our hotel also welcomed Chinese and international artists, movie stars and singers who wanted to experience Beijing’s premier address.

Embracing the new millennium, the complex offers high-speed broadband services in guestrooms, banquet rooms, residence apartments and offices.
