I haven't been to Beijing for a long time. The last time was before the epidemic. I went to Ulan Butong with my friends in late autumn to collect wind. I stayed in Beijing for one night while passing by. I didn't expect that I would wait for this early summer next time. In May, Beijing already feels like summer. When the weather is good, climb to the top of Jingshan Park and overlook the Palace Museum. These seem to be my first choice destination when coming to Beijing.

Go back to Sanlitun Bar Street at night, watch people come and go, choose a bar, sit down with friends for a drink, and feel the hustle and bustle of Beijing's night.

The hotel I stayed at this time was Hyatt Hotels Group's first JdV by Hyatt in China, and the first Beijing Shoubei Zhaolong Hotel in Asia with Hyatt's branch.

JdV by Hyatt has created a series of vibrant independent hotels that aim to build a vibrant, relaxed and vibrant community that truly reflects the urban neighborhood of the destination. Each Hyatt Choice hotel encourages guests to communicate with local residents, live in the present, and enjoy the joy of life.

The past and present life of Beijing Shoubei Zhaolong Hotel

Zhaolong Hotel opened in 1985 and is the first high-end hotel after the reform and opening up. Mr. Bao Yugang, one of the four major shipping kings, worked hard to build an extremely advanced hotel at that time to improve the tourism reception level of the capital. Its tall and unique triangular body design aims to achieve higher spatial effectiveness and a more three-dimensional view for the building. The hotel name "Zhaolong" was named by Mr. Bao Yugang in memory of his father, Mr. Bao Zhaolong.

At the beginning of 2018, this old high-end hotel, which had been in operation for more than 30 years, quietly closed its doors and launched a renovation project that took nearly two years. The hotel door was restarted on October 25, 2019. The outer shell of the hotel has remained almost unchanged, but the interior has completely transformed into a different world.

First floor: Art gallery space

Through the hotel door and into the art gallery space, a copper mural depicting the fleet sailing and sailing praises Mr. Bao Yugang's status as a leader in the shipping industry.

Second floor: Multi-purpose area

The front desk on the second floor adopts an open-plan Nakajima design that resembles a home kitchen. Guests and employees can interact in close proximity, which not only increases the intimacy, but also provides better service to guests.

The light food counter behind the front desk provides free fresh light food, special drinks, and Beijing specialty snacks. The categories will change according to the seasons. This time I tasted British fruity tea. Coffee is free 24/7. Before going out, make yourself a cup of coffee or make a pot of tea after relaxing.

The public area on the second floor is also equipped with comfortable sofas and seats, allowing you to sit on a rocking easy chair, or a REN lounge chair created by the design combination Runne for Stellar Works, or a bench specially designed for the bear doll. Get together here with three or five friends, or take a book and read it slowly.

There are also many works of art in the hotel's public area. For example, artist Yan Lei's new color wheel series "Increased Dose" has been integrated into the hotel's public area, adding a lot of artistic interest to the indoor space.

The sculptures of sculpture artist Mr. Sui Jianguo are placed on the first floor, which have a very decorative art effect. Guests passing by can't help but stop to appreciate it.

The relationship between the hotel and the surrounding neighborhood has also become closer and more casual, with the hotel tearing down the wall with the neighborhood behind it, allowing the alleys full of bars and restaurants behind it to blend more closely with the hotel.

hotel rooms

The hotel has a total of 202 rooms, including 16 suites. The rooms are decorated with natural wood and plant materials to create a natural and comfortable atmosphere. The earth colors are matched with color to evoke the iconic spirit of play of JdV by Hyatt.

The walls of the guest rooms are marked by the annual rings of tree growth, paying tribute to the history of the hotel and the flow of time in Beijing, and also heralds a new beginning for the hotel and the entire neighborhood. The gray annual rings collide with the color of the white wall, making it simple but atmospheric, and very fashionable. Natural wood and plant materials create a natural and comfortable atmosphere, and the earth colors are matched with color to bring a more comfortable stay experience.

The retro telephone in the guest room instantly pulls people back to the past in the capital. In addition to being able to flexibly move the position, the cart with the kettle and equipment can also be used as an interior decoration, reminding people of the city's merchants pushing the cart. Picture of the cart walking through the streets. Display Beijing's old culture in indoor space.

I prefer the round desk and long stools in the guest room, where I can work or rest, and it gives a relaxing atmosphere.

The guest bathroom is designed in black and white, and the toilet and vanity in the shower room are reasonably arranged, saving space while being convenient and practical. The bathrooms of some suites also feature a bathtub and dual vanities.

BEI Commune Dining Space

The BEI Commune dining space serves seasonal delicacies and cocktail drinks. Guests are welcome to experience the excellent fusion of fresh seasonal ingredients and local cuisine to gain a novel and fashionable food experience.

Breakfast in the morning is also quite extensive, with various types of breads and croissants, fresh fruits and freshly squeezed juices, as well as healthy meals, various salads and milk oatmeal. Of course, there are also soy milk fried dough sticks and fried rice, corn eggs and vegetables launched by Chinese food.

Grab your favorite dishes, find a seat by the window, and slowly enjoy this rare leisure time.

The buffet lunch launched at noon is also quite rich, including cooked shrimp and scallops, vegetarian fruit salad, pork ribs and beef and Kung Pao chicken diced. Crayfish has also been recently launched. The main course menu will also be changed from time to time to satisfy guests 'picky taste buds.

When the lights come on at night, the BEI Commune dining space is replaced by a gorgeous bar atmosphere, where guests can taste the restaurant's craft beers, wines and creative cocktails produced by the bartender.

Or relax in the vitality bar in the lobby to experience the charm of Sanlitun, a vibrant neighborhood, and enjoy the bartender's range of signature specialties, including creative cocktails inspired by local specialties.

After night, the unique immersive multimedia audio-visual feast in Beijing will be staged in the atrium from time to time! Or go to the hotel's terrace and enjoy a drink while enjoying the plot light and shadow show with the wall of the building opposite as a curtain.

"Urban Memory"

Fitness room

There is also a state-of-the-art gym on the second floor of the hotel. Hotel guests can enter with the gym registration card.

With a space of 450 square meters and abundant aerobic exercise equipment, guests, whether they are here on business or traveling, can exercise at their will and enjoy a vibrant lifestyle. The brightly colored gym is full of vitality and vitality, and it is also a good place for many fashionable men and women in Beijing to often check in.
