The Mandarin Oriental Qianmen, Beijing, an exquisite new property located in the heart of a traditional hutong neighborhood, officially opened today. This boutique hotel, with just 42 beautifully appointed courtyard houses, represents the Mandarin Oriental Hotel Group’s second hotel in the Chinese capital, offering a unique blend of luxury and authentic local culture.
