Commune by the Great Wall, building complex in Badaling, Yanqing, Beijing
Commune by the Great Wall is a hotel situated in the hills near Shifosi, approximately 75 minutes from Beijing airport. The property consists of 12 buildings, each designed by a different top Asian architect, with every structure showcasing its own distinctive style.
The hotel was created to combine modern architecture with proximity to the Great Wall, offering visitors a rare experience at a less touristic section. Since 2022, it became part of the Hyatt hotel group, ensuring professional management and maintenance of the property.
The name reflects its location next to the Great Wall, one of China's most important symbols. Visitors experience the rare feeling of staying directly beside this ancient structure and can sense how modern architecture and historical monuments exist side by side.
The hotel is located at exit G53 of the Beijing-Tibet Expressway in Shifosi Village and is easy to reach by car. It is advisable to book in advance as accommodation is limited and can be reserved through online platforms like Ctrip, Agoda, and Expedia.
Each building on the grounds was designed by a renowned architect such as Gary Chang, Kengo Kuma, and Shigeru Ban, with every structure having its own unique name like the Suitcase-Hotel or Bamboo Wall House. This makes the property a living exhibition of contemporary design that sets it apart from ordinary hotel properties.
