Six Senses has signed an agreement with Beijing Zhongguancun Avenue Construction & Development Group to open Six Senses Beijing in the Haidian District. The project is part of the renewal of Liulangzhuang, an area identified as a center for cultural programming and international exchange. The site is within the Three Hills and Five Gardens heritage landscape, which is associated with the Summer Palace and the imperial retreats of the Qing dynasty.
Six Senses Beijing will be the brand’s second property in Greater China, joining Six Senses Qing Cheng Mountain. The property will be located on land previously used as imperial rice paddies. The design will incorporate waterways and lotus ponds, with a focus on restoring elements of the land’s original character. The hotel will feature 75 guest rooms and suites, ranging from one to four bedrooms, reinterpreting traditional siheyuan homes with a contemporary approach to courtyard living. Some accommodations will have private gardens and boat jetties, while others will share courtyards screened by magnolia trees. The buildings will be connected by hutong-style pathways across two connected sites.
A boat pier will link the arrival lobby and lounge with the resort’s amenities, many of which will be located on the water. Dining will take place in light-filled pavilions that blend historic motifs with contemporary design. The property will include a two-story residence designed for private events, accessible by boat or private drive.
The hotel will offer wellness programs, including personalized wellness screenings, biohacking experiences, and the Sleep With Six Senses program. Facilities will include a spa and spaces for multi-day wellness programs. The Earth Lab will provide workshops focused on sustainable living, and the Alchemy Bar will allow guests to create botanical scrubs and potions for spa treatments.
Six Senses operates 27 properties in 20 countries, with recent openings including Six Senses London in March 2025 and a development pipeline across Asia, Europe, and the Middle East.
