are among the best in the city.All restaurants
have private dining areas and VIP rooms
catering to guests’ distinctive needs.
Guests can dine at the Grand Café on the
mezzanine level, which offers French,
Italian and home-style Beijing cooking 24
hours a day. An interactive show kitchen
allows diners to watch skilled chefs prepare
meals with the freshest ingredients.Within
the Grand Café is Da Giorgio, a fine bou-
tique restaurant offering classic Italian food.
The hotel’s newest dining experience,
Made In China, offers Northern Chinese
cuisine in another compelling mix of old
and new. Here again diners can enjoy an
interactive experience with traditional and
modern dishes prepared before their eyes, as
well as an impressive wine cellar and a ded-
icated Chinese tearoom.
Noble Court serves Cantonese cuisine
prepared by master chefs from Hong Kong
in an elegant setting resembling the home
of a Chinese nobleman. The hotel also has
its own patisserie, which prepares Hyatt-
style desserts, pastries, cakes and chocolates
made from the freshest ingredients. The
Fountain Lounge offers afternoon teas and
evening drinks.
Grand Hyatt Beijing’s latest venue is the
Redmoon bar and restaurant, which has
caused a stir among the city’s new up-and-
coming set since opening late last year.
Created by renowned Japanese interior
designers Super Potato together with Hong
Kong graphic designer Alan Chan, it offers
a trendy private club experience perfect for
pre-dinner drinks or late-night cocktails.
The venue includes a sushi bar and cigar
bar, while a four-piece female band Moon
Mood performs modern music on tradi-
tional Chinese instruments.
With its innovative concepts, superior
service and twin commitment to heritage
and progress, the Grand Hyatt Beijing offers
a distinctive experience for visitors to the
Chinese capital.
“This hotel in many ways reflects the
changing face of China,” says Mr EL
Mabrouk, a Beijing veteran of 20 years.
“There’s been a complete change in this
country. The standards of living have
improved enormously. Here we are posi-
tioned in a deluxe hotel on the footsteps of
the Forbidden City and Tiananmen Square
alongside an advanced entertainment and
shopping complex that puts Beijing on a
par with any advanced city in the region.
The progress has been enormous.”
The hotel’s commitment to excellence
has certainly paid off. It has twice been
named the best hotel in Beijing by
Business
Traveller
magazine and in March was voted
the best hotel in Beijing by
Asiamoney
magazine, which polled executives and
corporate travellers at top companies in
the region.
“At present we are concentrating on
growing our market share and growing
profits for the owning companies,” says
Mr EL Mabrouk.
With two new F&B outlets added last
year and a full range of services and facili-
ties, the young hotel has already distin-
guished itself as a dynamic presence.
As the city gears up for the 2008
Olympic Games and consolidates its posi-
tion as one of the world’s major business
and tourism centres, the Grand Hyatt
Beijing is comfortably positioned at the
forefront of Oriental opulence.
