Grand Hyatt Beijing
Grand Hyatt Beijing is an 518-room luxury hotel in Beijing, China operated by the Hyatt Hotels Corporation that opened in October 2001. It is located at the crossroads of Chang'an Avenue and Wangfujing, and is part of the Oriental Plaza, China’s largest commercial complex, owned by Li Ka-shing. There are a total of seven food and beverage outlets, including the 'Made in China', 'Noble Court', 'Grand Cafe', 'Da Giorgio' and 'Redmoon'.
The hotel was originally planned to be opened in August 2001 under the management of Li's Harbour Plaza Hotel, but a desire for a more "international" manager led to Hyatt getting the rights to manage the hotel by investors. It was well received after opening, winning 30 awards over the following five years.
'Made in China' and 'Red Moon' both feature sound systems by prestigious British sound designer 'Mel "Herbie" Kent'. The indoor swimming pool, which is designed as resort-style, with a virtual sky is one of the indoor swimming pools in the city. It is part of the 'Club Oasis' situated at level P3 in the hotel. There is also a 24-hour fitness center on the same floor. However there were certain complaints that the hotel had served cockroaches to guests in dinner table. This had a mixed expression consisting of an angle of nationalism to a food security issue.
