The four-point bathrooms will feature oversized vanity basins, separate bath tub, a glass encased power shower and a floor-to-ceiling wall mirror. Rooms will be equipped with modern conveniences such as high speed internet access and an LCD screen in the bathroom of all Executive Rooms and suites.<\/p>\n<p>The second phase will see the completion of the remaining guest rooms, the construction of an additional 20 guest rooms and a new Hilton Meetings facility, and the refurbishment of the Executive Lounge and Ballroom.<\/p>\n<p>Simultaneously, Hilton Beijing will overhaul all four food and beverage outlets. The new Louisiana Restaurant, prized for its deep south cajun-style cuisine, will add two private dining rooms each seating 10 people as well as a sophisticated wine bar which is modeled on a contemporary wine providore, and features a communal wine tasting counter to encourage guests to enjoy the Hilton Wine Experience. A lively all-day \u0091Tea House' located at the lobby level will shift the cuisine from the western coffee shop to a bit more Asian. The restaurant's kitchen buffets and high energy will offset the late-night destination bar and lounge located on the second floor.<\/p>\n<p>Hilton Beijing has been a favourite among the international business and local communities since it opened in 1993. By rejuvenating our hardware and refreshing our public spaces to match Hilton's renowned service, we will unveil a brand new Hilton Experience and Lifestyle component in the heart of dynamic Beijing, commented Reyes.<\/p>\n<p>The project is scheduled for completion in mid 2005.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Hilton Beijing is to undergo a US$12.5 million (RMB100M) two-phased facelift starting October this year which will transform the hotel into the city's foremost contemporary lifestyle hub said General Manager Vlad Reyes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[12723],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-35149","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-english"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.chinahospitalitynews.com\/cn\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/35149","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.chinahospitalitynews.com\/cn\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.chinahospitalitynews.com\/cn\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.chinahospitalitynews.com\/cn\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.chinahospitalitynews.com\/cn\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=35149"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.chinahospitalitynews.com\/cn\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/35149\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.chinahospitalitynews.com\/cn\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=35149"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.chinahospitalitynews.com\/cn\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=35149"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.chinahospitalitynews.com\/cn\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=35149"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
