We are very pleased to announce that Commune by the Great Wall has been included in the Tatler Travel Guide as one of "the 101 Best Hotels".

Commune by the Great Wall

Shuiguan, China

Ranked among the best Boutique hotels

Boutique Zen on the Great Wall - building materials include bamboo. About 40 miles from Beijing, the Commune is not a commune as we know it. It s hardly even Communist, with its broadband, DVD players and swish bar. Its modern Asian architecture lies within three square miles of serene green mountains; we re talking an indoor swimming-pool, private cinema and 11 stunning houses dotted along the steep valley slope, with views of the Wall to the west. It s an ultra-designer showcase of the way that China is becoming the new big thing.

About the Tatler Travel Guide:

It s insider and it s outrageous. The Tatler Abercrombie & Kent Travel Guide is a world-class act played out in all the best places: Wherever you want to be seen, we ve already been - and we have the key to the 101 best hotels, from classic to disco.

NB The internet has made booking hotels direct a cool option. However, the advantage of using a travel specialist is that you have redress in a crisis. When a UK reservations number is shown, the room rate is that charged by travel specialist, who has been chosen by Victoria Mather, Travel Editor of Tatler, for value and knowledge of a particular property.
