Mandarin Oriental Qianmen Beijing
Beijing, China
Special Mention, 2025 A+Awards, Hospitality - Hotels and Resorts
The hotel is located in the Caochang Hutong, a historic alley, adjacent to Qianmen Street in Beijing, an area rich in over 600 years of folk culture that reflects the vibrancy surrounding the Forbidden City and embodies the essence of Chinese heritage. Like many areas of the old city, Caochang has long faced challenges such as neglected streets, insufficient public facilities, and others. The primary aim of this initiative is to enhance municipal infrastructure while carefully preserving the original architectural character and charm of the Hutong, thereby improving the local environment and the livelihoods of residents.
Architecture, interior and landscape are viewed as a dialogue among nature, space, and culture, promoting a harmonious coexistence of ancient traditions and local customs. To emphasize restorative construction and protective renovation, the design closely adheres to the original Hutong fabric, preserving the courtyard's layout and ensuring that the buildings' external forms align with traditional styles. Every brick and tile from the original structures has been reused, and the roof beams of each courtyard have been preserved and reinforced. Original trees in the courtyard have also been preserved and rejuvenated. To preserve the original hutong charm to the fullest extent, each courtyard has maintained the style of every building, ensuring that its layout and design planning are distinct and unique. Irregular brick and wood courtyards of various sizes are scattered along the Hutong, adjacent to local residents.
The design masterfully intertwines traditional aesthetics with contemporary design. Innovative features, such as the intricate enamel flower screen in the lobby and calligraphy-inspired artworks, infuse the space with spiritual essence. The selected materials include gray bricks and tiles, blue-white stones, red bricks, wood, and others, coordinating with the traditional aesthetic, predominantly in gray and brown, accented with red and orange.
