It has 2 lounges, 2 rehearsal halls, a large customer room, a multi-functional conference room, 6 piano rooms, 15 dressing rooms and 17 multi-functional rooms.

Built in 1985, Beijing Concert Hall was China's first ever professional concert hall with high quality sound facilities. The performance space on the first ground seating over 1,000, while art exhibitions are mounted on the upper levels, most concert held here include the instrumental & vocal music, Western and Chinese.
In concert hall, a lower platform reduces the space between performer and audience. A 15-panel reflective board hung above the stage in three groups sends sound waves from below to every corner of the hall, maximizing the acoustic effect.
As one of the Beijing's main international concert hall, many musicians have performed here before, such as Yehudi Menuhin, Seiji Ozawa, Yo-Yo Ma, Plácido Domingo and Paul Badura-Skoda.
