Some hotels may charge extra for a rollaway bed or a crib - depending upon age. This possible extra charge is not always displayed by the hotel to appear with the list of available rates offered.
In order to make sure that you see the exact rate that you will be charged for an accommodation for more than 2 adults, it is best to double-check by emailing us at customer service with your dates and the ages of your children. We will be happy to confirm rates and availability for you.

This hotel has been selected for:
The Commune by the Great Wall Kempinski is most often described as an architectural museum, a design exhibition, an exercise in cutting-edge modernism — architourists travel from all over the world to walk its polished wood and stone halls and admire the work of two dozen of Asia’s leading architects.
To fully experience the Commune, however, you have to live it. It’s one thing to aesthetically appreciate these (admittedly sublime) structures against the backdrop of the rugged Chinese countryside; it’s another thing altogether to wake up and gaze out at the lush green hills through floor-to-ceiling windows, and live surrounded by stunning avant-garde interiors and classic modern furnishings by the likes of Marc Newson and Karim Rashid, among many others.
The original 11 villas are massive, ranging from four to six bedrooms, and are essentially luxurious experimental mansions. A new partnership with the Kempinski hotel company has brought about 31 new villas — cut from the same experimental cloth as the rest of the Commune, but sized (and budgeted) for individual travelers rather than moguls.
If you’re interested in the absolute height of modern architecture and luxury hospitality, by all means, book a villa. For the rest of us, the Kempinski additions are the best sampler of China's newest architectural wonder.
How to get there:
Commune by the Great Wall is approximately a 1 1/4 hour drive from Beijing Capital International Airport, 20 km away from the main train station (Qing Long Qiao station) and a 1 1/4 hour drive from Beijing's city center. Please contact customerservice@tablethotels.com to arrange airport transfers from Beijing.

Modern Style in the shadow of the Great Wall
Stayed January 2009
Overall rating: Good
I Liked
We were housed in a four bedroom villa that we had to ourselves. The staff took us on a private tour of three of the original villas. The staff drove us to the Great Wall (for a price, about $30) and picked us up when we were ready to come home. They also arranged (for a price, about $100 each way) a car with driver from Beijing (about an hour drive) and back to the airport on exactly our schedule. The restaurant had an excellent western style dinner that we enjoyed as well as a fixed price Chinese menu that was generous and tasty.I Disliked
The Spa was beautiful and had great service but we would have liked just a simple hot tub on the deck of the villa without all the fanfare of a spa treatment.2768 user(s) found this review helpful

I like the hotel surrounding, atmosphere, the architecture design and the private Great Wall very much.I Disliked
- I went from Guangzhou, it means it would take me 2.5hrs flight and 3hrs taxi to arrive the hotel. Unfortunatelly, the traffic jamed that day due to the National Holiday. After the tired journey, it decreased the excitement a lot. - I feel the staff are not happy to work in the hotel because they all look cool and no smile, including their look, their voice and etc.5130 user(s) found this review helpful

Overall rating: Fair
I Liked
After complaining about our room we were moved to a much more suitable one.I Disliked
We phoned for an airport transfer with 3 hours notice and were told that it couldn't be arranged but that we would have no problem getting a taxi at the airport. Not the case! It took us 45 minutes to find a cab driver that would take us out to the place! We were not happy!8692 user(s) found this review helpful
