Commune by the Great Wall, in the Unbound Collection by Hyatt

Very good and nice location Staff and the management treated as well Very cooperative and convenient safe place to stay with family.

newly renovated building, mountainside lodges

I live in Beijing for 15 years, and I always heard of Commune as a piece of art, but with low management. With Hyatt, I was expecting for nice improvement. In fact, the houses are wonderful, really superb architecture work with the very nice concept of four rooms by unit, and a huge and wonderfully designed common space. It’s like having a 200sqm suite. The grounds are well kept are cleanliness is very good. We had the chance to stay in Bamboo Wall, perfectly designed. With a lot of luggage, you can find space for everything. it was like staying in a museum, but a super comfy one. thanks Mr Kenzo Kuma… Restaurant is very good, a little expensive, but it’s normal in 5 stars place and staff very professional. Breakfast buffet is nice and fresh. Private access to the Great Wall is very enjoyable.

I found this accommodation in the book 501 Great Places to Stay when it was still run by Kempinski. The location is ideal for visits to both the Badaling (night visit) and Shuiguan (day visit) sections of the Great Wall. We stayed in the Bamboo section with clean and comfortable rooms in a unique style and the hotel arranged twin beds for the children who were able to stay in an adjoining room. The outstanding staff member Lee Li went beyond the call of duty in PERSONALLY arranging tickets at NIGHT to the Badaling section of the Great Wall including the taxi to / from the hotel. This was a major highlight of our entire trip to China but without Lee Li's assistance we would have missed it as not otherwise arranged by the Hotel. The Hotel's breakfast was very enjoyable with superb food catering for International tourists like ourselves. The morning shuttle to the Shuiguan section was on time and the timings provided sufficient time to see the Wall and travel to central Beijing with a stop off at the Ming Tombs on the way. If you are travelling directly to Commune by the Wall from Daxing Airport, expect a taxi drive of just under 2 hrs / 125 kms, a fare of 425 Yuan.
