Award-winning architect Kengo Kuma's design for the hotel is inspired by the Chinese "Sanhe Yuan", a three-sided courtyard style home embracing a green garden. With its unique location between green parks, Kengo Kuma has created an "Urban Forest" defined by a contemporary chic design and natural materials as a refreshing backdrop to the intuitive hospitality experience.

Hyatt Regency Beijing Wangjing is centrally located in the heart of the Wangjing Central Business District, the second CBD of Beijing. The cosmopolitan neighborhood boasts a multi-cultural international community, eclectic dining and a renowned contemporary arts scene. The name Wangjing was given by Shen Kuo, a famous minister of the Northern Song Dynasty, who passed the scenic village that had a "view over the capital" and recorded it in his Dream Brook Sketchbook. The first Hyatt Regency in the Chinese capital is set to further enrich the lifestyle of Wangjing and connect guests with unbeatable local experiences.

The hotel is conveniently accessed via the Airport Express and is a short stroll from Futong subway station on Line14 and the 798 Art District.
