The futuristic city of Xiong’an New Area in China is rapidly taking shape, aiming to be a cutting-edge hub for innovative intelligence, green ecology, and overall well-being through a meticulously planned long-term strategy. Kempinski Hotels is thrilled to contribute to this visionary initiative, having signed a management agreement with Xiong’an Xiongshang Real Estate Co., Ltd. for a luxury hotel and residences complex. Situated approximately 100 kilometers southeast of Beijing in Hebei Province, the new Kempinski hotel is set to welcome guests by the end of 2026.
With a robust presence in China spanning over 30 years and a remarkable portfolio, Kempinski will enhance its offerings with this exceptional project, featuring 403 rooms and suites, along with 121 residences. This addition aligns seamlessly with the existing 19 hotels and residences spread across Greater China. The hotel boasts a grand ballroom exceeding 1,000 sq m, multiple meeting rooms, an all-day dining restaurant, a beer house, a lobby bar, a deli, and a Chinese restaurant, catering to the diverse needs of both business and leisure travelers. The establishment further provides amenities such as an indoor pool, an elegant spa, and a modern gym for guests seeking relaxation and revitalization.
Bernold Schroeder, CEO of Kempinski Group and Chairman of the Management Board of Kempinski AG, expresses, “Our new hotel will be an oasis of innovation in the heart of Xiong’an, while our residences promise a luxurious living experience synonymous with Kempinski’s highest standards of quality and style. Partnering with Xiong’an Xiongshang Real Estate is a significant milestone in our longstanding success story in China, where we’ve achieved remarkable brand recognition. It’s truly exciting to contribute to China’s vision for the city of the future.”
Han Jian You, a key figure in the development of Xiongan New Area, highlights the government’s decision to promote the coordinated development of Beijing, Tianjin, and Hebei through this unique venture. He emphasizes the pleasure of collaborating with the internationally acclaimed Kempinski Hotels, expressing confidence that Kempinski Hotel Xiongan will become a dynamic gateway, urban landmark, and a prominent business symbol for the entire region.
Xiong’an New Area serves as a pioneering experiment, with its success poised to set a model for other inland cities in China and along the Belt and Road Initiative. The region has already attracted successful enterprises and Beijing investment firms, transforming into an innovation hub and a hotspot for entrepreneurship. From top-tier planning to scientific innovation and low-carbon development, this millennium city is rapidly evolving, integrating new technologies into its infrastructure.
For guests traveling from Beijing, the Xiong’an Railway Station provides convenient access, primarily operating bullet trains to and from Beijing and Daxing Airport. The travel time between Xiong’an and Beijing has been significantly reduced to an hour, with a 30-minute duration to Daxing Airport.
