The Peninsula Arcade presents boutiques by some of the world’s finest luxury brands. Yun Summer Lounge is a seasonal rooftop lounge serving Mediterranean small plates, modern cocktails and magnificent views. The Peninsula Art Gallery on the third floor shows original works by exciting Chinese artists, enabling guests to enjoy the best of Beijing’s arts scene without leaving the hotel.
Following its recent landmark renovation, the hotel’s original 525 rooms have been reconfigured to 230 suites, creating Beijing’s only all-suite hotel and the city’s most spacious standard rooms. We spoke with the General Manager, Mr. Vincent Pimont, to better understand the hotel’s unique positioning.
Gurmehar or Gurm has been living in China since 1999, and mostly in Tianjin. Art was her solace, art was her passion and for her art was her dream. She is an extraordinary young artist that creates and sells her art creations under the banner “Gurm's Art” that provides all kinds of artistic services, whether they are unique gifts for special occasions, or art pieces in her inimitable style incorporating zodiac signs, cultural symbols, or company logos etc. Her paintings and drawings are all for sale and come in a range of sizes, from very small to very large. You can enjoy in this edition some of her sample artworks and read her life story.
She hopes that people see her art as a discovery of themselves and their place in the universe. She wants them to experience the same feeling that she has, while creating the artworks - freedom, satisfaction, living in the moment, and an inward journey.
