The Sunrise Kempinski Hotel Beijing commenced the celebrations of its parent company's anniversary with special offers for guests and local residents as Kempinski Hotels celebrates its 120 years worldwide.

A testament to Kempinski Hotels’ heritage, the “Ignite the Night” event was launched at Sunrise Kempinski Hotel, Beijing & Yanqi Island, in the suburban district of Huairou in Beijing on April 8, 2017.

Celebrations kicked off with a lighting ceremony led by hotel Manager Sebastian Thomas. The hotel's entire round tower was beautifully lit up with hydroelectric LED lights. From afar it looked like a glittering scallop perched on the shores of Yangi Lake.

Executive Chef Kevin Stone prepared a 120-year anniversary theme birthday cake to share with all guests. Cocktails and canapés were served, while children enjoyed sweets and fun toys.
