CHAO Sanlitun Beijing

CHAO Sanlitun Beijing is not just a hotel, but a community hub that raises work and leisure to the next level with spaces and experiences. Centrally located in one of Beijing's most lively areas, the Sanlitun district, CHAO masterfully mixed hospitality with art and culture for a lifestyle elevated above the ordinary. It has 180 exquisitely designed rooms and shares grounds with a huge complex that also contains a 15,000-square-meter Clubhouse and a 3,000-square-meter Art Center. In this way, it will cater both to social and creative spaces for its guests and members.

There is an underlying emphasis on relationship-building and the creation of experiences at CHAO that go beyond that of a basic stay. Its membership-based platform allows, in every way possible, for seamless socializing and the development of discovery, be it through intimate gatherings in the Drawing Room over breakfast and afternoon tea or through vibrant evening affairs in the Living Room accompanied by live jazz and world-class cuisine. Complementing this atmosphere is the Club Bar, with perfectly made cocktails in a setting that speaks to its description in personal taste and minimalism, hence a spot of great preference for both informal hangouts and personal escape from the normal rush of life.

A key characteristic of CHAO Sanlitun is their focus on sustainability. In the year 2020, CHAO proudly signed the Global Tourism Plastics Initiative, driven by the United Nations Environment Programme and the World Tourism Organization. It has already taken serious strides in eradicating single-use plastics from its operations, saving over 10 tons of waste from going into the environment. CHAO is committed to continuous innovation in sustainability by ensuring that all plastic materials in use are reusable, recyclable, or compostable, showing its forward-thinking approach to responsible hospitality.

The CHAO Art Center adds another layer to guests' cultural enrichment. It features an annual series of exhibitions with the inclusion of contemporary works from leading domestic and international artists. This creative ambiance flows into the center's Printmaking Studio, which has established relations with the leading printmaking organizations around the world. The studio offers a variety of techniques, including etching, silkscreen, and lithography. It is a frenetic space where artists come together, share their experiences, and improve their skills. A number of art and cultural events-workshops, performances, and screenings-are held every week, which allow guests and members to connect with exciting local and international creative communities.

CHAO boasts an array of event spaces that can suit the needs of every type of event planner, from wedding halls-assured to make each moment special and tailor-made for a host and his/her guests-to a private cinema with 4K projectors and recliner seats in plush leather, an ideal venue for movie premieres, product launches, or other closed events one wishes to hold for VVIP guests.

A fully-equipped gym caters to healthy living in the CHAO Sanlitun. Run quickly or work out with a personal trainer in a non-judgmental, supportive area that encourages guests to continue their routines. The library is a great deal more low-key, filled to its rafters with a wide array of books on art and design from many modern ideas; it invites guests to sit back and read casually or to study quietly.

First and foremost, CHAO is about community and shared experience. Rather than an elite club, it is a space for like-minded people who share the same passion for art, culture, and the good life. Events such as masterclasses, tastings, and private seminars on subscription form the year-round activities of the members. Such is the nature of the CHAO community: democratic yet exclusive. It is a professional communication platform nurtured with joint projects involving leading cultural institutions and brands.

It's more than a place to stay, really; CHAO Sanlitun Beijing is for the seekers in search of something more-a platform for discovery, connection, and a quality lifestyle. From its serious commitment to environmental sustainability to its diverse cultural programming, CHAO continues to raise the bar for what meaningful travel should look and feel like.
