Two-for-one weekend buffet at Grand Bay Hotel Beijing

The newly opened Grand Bay Hotel Beijing is offering special rates during its soft opening to attract city dwellers to spend the weekend in the suburban Miyun district. The five-star hotel offers 329 guest rooms and suites, and was designed as a top year-round vacation destination, recreation center and meeting space.

For the month of April, the hotel is offering a buy-one-get-one dinner buffet for the first ten guests to make reservations each day. Those who have successfully secured their spot can bring one person to enjoy the special rate. Guests who miss this opportunity can still enjoy buy-two-get-one-free. The seafood-themed dinner buffet (398 yuan/$57) is available on the weekend.
