China: Bulgari opens a new hotel in Beijing
Beijing - The new Bulgari Hotel Beijing opens in China. Situated just a stone's throw from San Li Tun street, one of the Chinese capital's main shopping arteries, the hotel is the latest in the collection of Bulgari Hotels & Resorts, following the facilities opened in Milan, London and Bali. The hotel was designed by the Antonio Citterio Patricia Viel architects studio and it boasts 119 rooms and suites. According to Bulgari, the hotel in Beijing includes a 1,500 square-meter spa, a twenty-five meter pool, a private park, a Bulgari Ballroom spanning 520 square meters, in addition, naturally, to the bar and restaurant. The hotel, which is located in the embassy district of the city, aims to be an "urban resort" that combines natural features with art. The facility rises close to the Liangma river, hence the name of the neighborhood Liangmaqiao, one of the Chinese capital's most elegant areas, within close walking distance of San Li Tun street. Beijing will not be the only city in China to boast a Bulgari Hotel: next year, a hotel is expected to go up in Shanghai, and the Bulgari Hotel in Dubai is set to open its doors by the end of 2017. Last but not least, another Bulgari Hotel is expected to open in Moscow in 2019.
