Properties for all budgets and group sizes

The new China National Convention Centre (CNCC) is due to open later this year. The venue is the former Olympic Games media centre, which is being reshaped inside into a world-class conference venue. The CNCC is a part of the Olympic Green site, which is located near the Fourth Ring Road North. Across the road are the Bird’s Nest and Water Cube facilities. 

Its plenary hall will have seating for 6,000 delegates and a grand ballroom that will accommodate up to 3,500 people. It will also feature 24,000 sqm of exhibition space. There will be a further 100 meeting rooms of various sizes that can be used for standalone events or breakout rooms. Attached to the CNCC and close to the Olympic facilities is the CNCC Grand Hotel, a four-star property with 443 rooms.

Next door, and also attached to CNCC, is InterContinental Beichen, a five-star property with its largest meeting space able to hold 930 people theatre style. While the hotel has 333 guestrooms, it can also provide off-site catering for events held anywhere on the Olympic site. The hotel can cater for up to 3,000 people at a time and has so far done events in the Bird’s Nest Stadium for a group of 250 people and the Water Cube for 500 people.

Marco Polo Parkside opened in the north of the city in mid-2007, near the Olympic Games site. Its 315 guestrooms have an average size of 38 sqm while its largest meeting space can hold 350 theatre style. Crowne Plaza Wuzhou is also nearby.





In the northeast, closer to Chaoyang District, the 716-room China World Hotel is home to the CBD’s largest ballroom, which can host 800 people. There is also a 2,000-seat conference hall. However, the property is part of a larger complex whose strength lies in its inventory of 1,750 guestrooms across China World Hotel and two other related properties.




These are the 570-room, four-star Traders Hotel and the 487-room, five-star Kerry Centre Hotel, which also has event space for up to 1,500 people on the tennis courts in its Kerry Sports Centre. This facility makes the hotel ideal for large themed events.
