The property celebrates the intimate link between the Chinese and French cultures and boasts a bold interior design that blends the opulence of Tang Dynasty China with the most stunning aspect of modern French style and features.

The hotel is perfectly located in the heart of Beijing, on Jiango Road, only 30 minutes from the international airport, and with easy access to major tourist attractions such as Tiananmen Square and the Forbidden City.

A luxury label for French hotel and tourism group Accor, Lenotre plays a leading role in the world of gastronomy. The company was established by Gaston Lenotre, who gained fame in the 1950s and 1960s as France's most talented and innovative pastry chef. His first pastry shop opened in 1957, and the catering business followed in 1964.

Today, the House of Lenotre comprises over 50 retail outlets in France and abroad, a vast catering operation and a range of popular and prestigious restaurants in Paris, including Pavillon Elysée, Le Pré Catelan and Café Lenotre. The quality of Lenotre's product and staff is such that in 2000, Sommelier Olivier Poussier was named "Best Sommelier of the World" in a global competition staged in Montreal by the Association de la Sommellerie Internationale.

Lenotre is also a great trainer of culinary staff, with the Lenotre Culinary School attracting more than 3,000 professionals annually from around the world. Recently, Lenotre opened a school in Paris for amateur enthusiasts.
