Room was as advertised, very clean with good attention to detail. The inclusive breakfast had a wide variety of choices so there was something for everybody. Staff service was amazing, James Gao Xu went above and beyond what was expected. He even helped with finding flight information and coming to the airport (5 minute walk) to help pickup a family member and carry our luggage. Highly recommend the hotel and staff, especially as it is so close to the airport. Will definitely be staying again.

The hotel location in central Beijing is great and it is easy to quickly reach Forbidden City, Temple of Heaven, Wan Fujing. Ritan Park, etc. Plus that the hotel was a few hundred meters from the Hutong museum. Great help with booking transport to and from the airport and also arranging visit to the great wall of China.

although initially I was a little reluctant, everything was perfect. the very big bed, the breakfast, every day something changes on the plate. the staff who spoke perfect English, were very kind, friendly. I'm glad I chose this hotel, being very close to the metro. The room was cleaned every day, we received water and tea. what I really liked, the pictures on the wall, illustrating older images of the city and about the history of the place.

The staff are exceptionally nice, attentive and very well spoken. You are greeted with a cup of coffee or tea, an introduction into the area and they accompany you to your room. While the rooms might be a bit small, you feel their care, even in the decorated hallways. The area is great as well, two metro station close by and big new mall.

FAQs about hotels in Beijing

From Chinese Dynasties to Cultural Dynamics

A world-renowned gem, sprawling Beijing has magnificent monuments and peaceful parks. At its heart is the world’s largest square - Tiananmen, surrounded by important museums and the amazing Forbidden City. This 15th-century, walled complex of palaces neighbours Jingshan Park and Beihai Park with its imperial garden.

Opposite Tiananmen Square is the ultra-modern National Centre for Perfoming Arts, a beacon of the city’s culture so impressively displayed at the opening and closing ceremonies of the 2008 Beijing Olympics in the Bird’s Nest Stadium.

To its east is the UNESCO World-Heritage listed Summer Palace, a lakeside retreat of emperors, while also UNESCO listed is the grand Temple of Heaven in Chongwen district, where remnants of Ming dynasty city walls are visible. Nearby are several hutongs, narrow alleys whose traditional architecture contrasts with wider, modern roads including Beijing Financial Street, the city's business area.

The most popular Beijing shopping street is Wangfujing, and other must-see sights include the giant pandas at Beijing Zoo and the Great Wall of China, an easy day trip from Beijing.

As you would expect from the capital of the world’s most populous country, there are a good number of 5-star hotels in Beijing on Booking.com, mainly in the Dongcheng and Chaoyang districts. There are also several hotels near Beijing Capital Airport in the north-east.

There are places in this city which are guaranteed to blow your mind, such as the Forbidden City, the Temple of Heaven, the Summer Palace, and the Lama Temple. Traffic in Beijing is terrible but luckily the subway is superb. And did I mention the food? So tasty and healthy!

Beijing is beautiful and with lots of scenic places. Getting around is easy, especially with DIDI, easy booking, exceptional good price and comfortable. Food is delicious, especially the peking duck restaurants. Only shortfall is the toilet, room for more improvement.

Stunning Architecture and World Heritage sites all well-...

Stunning Architecture and World Heritage sites all well-managed for visitors, such as shuttles, tickets, toilets and no-smoking policy. A major drawback that this city should improve is the smoking areas. People can smoke freely on the streets, which negatively affects those with respiratory problems and children. This makes our city walks less enjoyable. In addition, many locals tend to spit on the streets, which is another issue that should be addressed.

An amazing city - probably doesn't need more than a 5 day...

An amazing city - probably doesn't need more than a 5 day trip. A day-long excursion to the Great Wall of China is a must (hire a driver rather than spending 2 hours on a bus) and get there early to beat the queues for the chairlift up and toboggan down. Starting early is important most days as there are SO many tourists (mostly Chinese) at all the major sights. If you're there longer - consider going to a hot springs (onsen) and choose one that the locals use (we went to one in the Fengtai area) and taking a day trip to another city (we took the high speed train to Tianjin which was fun). The Temple of Heaven was better than the Summer Palace (IMHO) and Beijing Zoo was dismal - only go if you absolutely MUST see the pandas. Get a good VPN before you travel and stay connected to this to be able to use Instagram and WhatsApp. Set up AliPay with your payment details before you go - we didn't use cash once in a week and AliPay lets you book taxis, pay for the metro, pay in shops and pay individuals directly. It's essential. Consider getting WeChat too - people in China use this instead of Whatsapp. Carry your passport with you at all times - you'll need it everywhere - including spot checks in metro stations etc. Have a great trip!

Every traveler should definitely download the Alipay app in advance, which includes English translation. The app is the easiest way to pay, take the subway, order a taxi, or rent a bike. The first steps are a bit difficult, but once you get it up and running, it makes traveling in Beijing incredibly easy. In many cases, this is the only way to pay, cash is extremely rare. Your passport is requested at almost every attraction and must be scanned, often even on the way out. It's not worth going anywhere without it. They speak English in hotels, but in restaurants, often not anymore. Most taxi drivers, vendors, and waiters communicate with a translation program, which works quite well.

Beautiful and well appointed rooms. If you want to be centrally located near Wangfujing pedestrian street, then the location is perfect. My family enjoyed the breakfasts and the bar/lounge area was good. The meal at Zijin Mansion was exceptional. Concierge were excellent and responsive with helping me book restaurants, tours and organising a company to greet us on arrival at the airbridge in Beijing airport to make arrivals easier. I'll forever remember the hotel for having the most indulgently comfortable dressing gowns ever.

The hotel would be one of the best we’ve stayed in. Outclass many of the well known 5 star hotels in US and Europe. Also unpretentious and great for any traveller visiting Beijing for the first or other times. Great location, walking distance to historic sites, shopping, restaurants and metro station. Very walkable location to all venues. Fabulous breakfast. Highly recommend to any traveller. We give it 10 out of 10.

The hotel and the rooms are stunning, perfectly gives you the feeling of a 5 stars hotel. If we go back, we will definitely repeat and will definitely recommend to family and friends.

In 15 minutes by bike you can reach Wangfujing Road and Tiananmen Square. When I return to Beijing I will book again. Thanks to all the staff

The room was very spacious, clean, and quiet. The location was great! It's very convenient to reach the new DaXing international airport, and Beijing wild animal zoo. Moreover, the hotel kindly provides shuttles to the airport for free. We had a great stay!
