The 176-room hotel features innovative modern architecture that contrasts beautifully with the magnificent ancient structure of the Great Wall, offering an overwhelmingly extraordinary experience and an unforgettable journey of discovery.

Each villa is designed with a different theme, such as the Bamboo House with five rooms and a teahouse, or the Forest House with six rooms that seem to connect with the surrounding forest. All rooms offer mountain views and access to shared living spaces. You can also reserve an entire villa for the ultimate in privacy with family and friends.

▼Meetings & Events
Our state-of-the-art indoor and outdoor facilities are ideal for corporate gatherings, events, weddings, and more. In addition to the 100-square-meter, sunlit, multi-function space known as the Suitcase House, the 856-square-meter Commune Ballroom, adjacent to the outdoor courtyard, is ideal for meetings and exhibitions. Weddings can also be held on the luxurious Commune Lawn, nestled among the forest, or on the rooftop among the trees. Our experienced event planning and catering team can cater to any needs.
