The Great Wall Hotel Beijing is a hotel located at No. 10, North East Third Ring Road, Chaoyang District, Beijing, China. It is a high-end tourist hotel jointly developed and operated by the Beijing Branch of China International Travel Service and the American Yishen Construction & Development Company (founded in 1979 by Chinese American Shen Jianbai in partnership with another American, Eaton).
The hotel was designed by Beckett International (USA) and constructed through the joint efforts of Beijing No. 6 Construction Company, Beijing Mechanical Construction Company, Beijing Equipment Installation Company, Beijing Municipal No. 3 Construction Company, Beijing Housing Maintenance No. 2 Company, the Beijing Landscaping Bureau Construction Company, and the Beijing Flower and Tree Company. The total gross floor area of the hotel is 82,459 square meters.
The overall building complex adopts a Y-shaped plan. The central tower rises 22 stories to a height of 82.85 meters, while the three surrounding wings are each 18 stories high. The exterior walls are clad in reflective, sheet-type cool-tone glass, giving the building a crystalline and luminous appearance—hence its nickname, “the Glass Tower.”
Construction began on March 10, 1981. The hotel partially opened for trial operation on December 10, 1983, and officially opened on June 20, 1984. In 1985, the hotel was placed under full management by the Sheraton brand and was subsequently renamed the Sheraton Great Wall Hotel Beijing. The hotel ceased operations in 2023.
The hotel features 829 guest rooms, four specialty restaurants, a multi-functional banquet and conference space totaling 1,900 square meters, as well as a fitness center and an indoor swimming pool. It has hosted numerous distinguished guests, including then U.S. President Ronald Reagan, former U.S. President George H. W. Bush, and former Japanese Prime Minister Yasuhiro Nakasone, and has served as the venue for press conferences, signing ceremonies, and cultural and sporting events.
Based on its real-world counterpart, this is a five-star hotel building with a rating set at 4.8. It requires 160 staff members and can accommodate and serve up to 800 guests simultaneously.
