The hotel was originally planned to be opened in August 2001 under the management of Li's Harbour Plaza Hotel, but a desire for a more "international" manager led to Hyatt getting the rights to manage the hotel by investors.{{cite web|access-date=2025-01-25|title=Tycoon signal No 8 blows up deal on Hyatt|url=https://www.scmp.com/article/353812/tycoon-signal-no-8-blows-deal-hyatt|date=1 August 2001|website=South China Morning Post}} It was well received after opening, winning 30 awards over the following five years.{{Cite news |date=2006-02-27 |title=北京東方君悅屢奪魁 |work=Sing Tao Daily}}{{cite news|access-date=2025-01-25|date=2006-03-01|title=北京東方君悅 今年奪5獎|url=http://paper.wenweipo.com/2006/03/01/FI0603010078.htm|newspaper=Wen Wei Po}}

'Made in China' and 'Red Moon' both feature sound systems by prestigious British sound designer 'Mel "Herbie" Kent'. The indoor swimming pool, which is designed as resort-style, with a virtual sky is one of the indoor swimming pools in the city. It is part of the 'Club Oasis' situated at level P3 in the hotel. There is also a 24-hour fitness center on the same floor. However there were certain complaints that the hotel had served cockroaches to guests in dinner table. This had a mixed expression consisting of an angle of nationalism to a food security issue.{{cn|date=January 2025}}
