Beijing Bulgari Hotel is located in the heart of the city’s exclusive embassy district, retaining the essence of Italian architecture and design while incorporating the local character of Beijing. The hotel also selected one of Italy’s most prestigious architectural firms, Antonio Citterio Patricia Viel. Designers drew brilliant inspiration from Bulgari’s unique jewelry-making craftsmanship. A portrait of Bulgari brand founder Sotirio Bulgari, painted by renowned artist Yan Peiming, is also displayed at the hotel entrance as a distinctive feature. The hotel offers 119 elegant rooms and suites, including one Bulgari Suite, all furnished with luxury Italian brands such as Maxalto and B&B Italia. The unique Bulgari Suite combines Italian elegance with contemporary flair, spanning nearly 400 square meters to become one of the largest suites in Beijing. The surrounding garden landscape, designed by renowned Swiss landscape architect Enzo Enea, creates a serene oasis in the urban center. It blends classical Italian garden styles with traditional Chinese refined landscaping, ensuring harmony and balance both inside and outside the hotel.
Bulgari Hotels are renowned for their Italian gastronomy, and Beijing Bulgari Hotel continues this legendary culinary heritage while becoming the first Bulgari Hotels & Resorts property to collaborate with Michelin-starred chef Niko Romito. Il Bar boasts an extensive cellar, offering a rich selection of wines to complement Niko Romito’s contemporary Italian cuisine, ensuring an unforgettable dining experience for every guest. The 1,500-square-meter Bulgari Spa features 11 luxurious private treatment rooms, a fitness center, and a 25-meter indoor heated pool inspired by the Roman Baths of Caracalla.

The connection between Beijing and Rome dates back to the Yuan Dynasty, when Beijing—as the capital of the Yuan Empire—witnessed the friendship between Italian traveler Marco Polo and Kublai Khan, fostering a significant cultural exchange between East and West. Today, in this ancient yet modern city, Italian brilliance and Beijing’s artistic spirit merge seamlessly. Beijing Bulgari Hotel unveils its prestigious presence, bringing guests a passionate, free-spirited, and vibrant Bulgari Roman lifestyle along with the ultimate in comfort and luxury.
