InterContinental Beijing Sanlitun

Even though it only opened in 2016, InterContinental Beijing Sanlitun already has become an essential part of the capital’s vibrant Sanlitun shopping, nightlife and entertainment district. The iconic narrow building is impossible to miss as a shimmering and pulsating LED light show dances across its facade, each light panel arranged in a repeating hexagonal diamond motif that calls to mind an elongated honeycomb. Adjacent to both the CBD (central business district) and diplomatic compounds, it might be ideal for business travelers, but the hotel is aesthetically and physically oriented around the hip Sanlitun neighborhood right on its doorstep: dining and leisure areas and suites all take full advantage of the magnificent city views to the northeast. Polished marble, wood and modern furnishings blend seamlessly throughout the luxurious property, punctuated by trendy twists like golden drop-cable lamps, blue glass light installations, inviting leather armchairs and polished vintage bicycles.
