BEIJING, June 3, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Cheung Kong Graduate School of Business (CKGSB) today announced the opening of its first permanent campus in Beijing, marking a major milestone in the school's 23-year journey of developing leaders capable of shaping the future in an increasingly complex and uncertain world.
Located in the heart of Beijing's Ciqikou, or "China's Gateway," the new campus sits at a rare geographical and symbolic intersection in Beijing. On one side stand the Forbidden City and the Temple of Heaven, symbols of China's rich history and civilization. On the other rises Beijing's CBD, reflecting the country's dynamism and innovation. Positioned between these two worlds, the campus embodies CKGSB's role as a bridge between China's past and future, and between China and the world.
Founded in 2002, right after China entered the WTO, CKGSB has spent more than two decades advancing business education and management research, while helping leaders understand China's evolving role in the global economy. The new campus strengthens the school's ability to connect research with practice, deepen engagement with China's business ecosystem, and contribute to global dialogue from the nation's capital.
The 30,000-square-meter campus features a façade inspired by a vessel setting sail, reflecting CKGSB's commitment to helping leaders navigate uncertainty and discover new opportunities. At its center is a 17-meter high atrium inspired by the ancient Greek Agora—a dynamic learning hub where faculty, students, alumni, entrepreneurs, policymakers, and scholars come together to exchange ideas and translate insight into action.
As China's first privately-funded, research-driven business school, CKGSB focuses on developing decision makers with a global vision, social responsibility, and an innovative mindset. 95% of CKGSB's 25,000 alumni are comprised of business leaders who collectively run one fifth of China's most valuable brands. The new campus reflects the collective support of this community, whose contributions helped turn a long-held vision into reality.
Today, CKGSB also welcomed 275 new Executive MBA students of its Spring 2026 cohort to the new campus. 75% of these EMBA students are either chairmen or CEOs, more than half of whom run high-tech enterprises or hidden champions in China. Among them, two lead unicorn companies.
In the coming months, the school will host lectures and conferences at the new Beijing campus exploring AI and innovation, leadership, China's economic outlook, and the future of global business.

Cheung Kong Graduate School of Business Opens First Permanent Beijing Campus
Five Peninsula Hotels across Asia and the United States — including The Peninsula Bangkok, Beijing, Shanghai, Tokyo, and Chicago — are named among an exclusive collection of hotels honored in the debut year of Condé Nast Traveler's newest global distinction
HONG KONG, June 3, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Highlighting the brand's enduring legacy, The Peninsula Hotels is proud to announce that The Peninsula Bangkok, The Peninsula Beijing, The Peninsula Shanghai, The Peninsula Tokyo, and The Peninsula Chicago have been named to the inaugural Condé Nast Traveler Triple Crown collection.
Condé Nast Traveler, widely regarded as one of the world's leading travel magazines, sets the standard for editorial excellence and shapes the global conversation around luxury travel, destinations, and hospitality. Among its newest recognitions of sustained excellence, the Triple Crown celebrates an exceptionally select collection of hotels that have, over the past three decades, achieved all three of the publication's flagship honours: the Hot List, the Gold List, and the Readers' Choice Awards.
Rather than reflecting a single moment in time, the Triple Crown defines hotels by lasting distinction across editorial and industry acclaim and traveler endorsement. It represents a rare category of properties that have consistently resonated with both Condé Nast Traveler editors and its global readership.
The Hot List highlights the best new hotels to open each year, while the Gold List reflects Condé Nast Traveler editors' annual selection of their favorite hotels worldwide. The Condé Nast Traveler Readers' Choice Awards are determined annually by the publication's global audience. Together, these selections form a comprehensive measure of innovation, expert selection, and guest experience.
"With five properties included across our global portfolio, we are honoured to see such strong representation of our hotels recognized in Condé Nast Traveler's inaugural Triple Crown collection," said Gareth Roberts, The Peninsula's Chief Operating Officer. "Each of these properties reflects a distinct character rooted in its city while remaining unmistakably Peninsula. This speaks to the dedication of our teams and their continued commitment to delivering thoughtful, personalized, and truly exceptional hospitality and guest experiences that go beyond the stay."
The recognition reflects an approach that has long defined The Peninsula: a focus on people, a deep connection to the cities each hotel calls home, and a long-term view. Grounded in authenticity and attention to detail, that philosophy shapes the guest experience across the brand's 12 hotels in Asia, Europe, and the United States.
