The hotel is in a great location, located in Dongjiaominxiang, a 1.6-kilometer-long alley built in the heyday of the Yuan Dynasty in China in the 13th century. It stretches from the east road of Tiananmen Square to Chongwenmen Inner Street, and is the longest alley in old Beijing. As early as the Yuan Dynasty, this was an important alley for transporting grain, so it was called "Jiangmi Lane".
🦌Dongjiaominxiang is a European-style block integrating embassies, churches, banks, and clubs. The existing buildings include the French Embassy and the Austro-Hungarian Embassy. The Belgian Embassy, the Japanese Legation and Embassy, the Italian Embassy, the British Embassy, etc. The existing buildings are all preserved in their original state, maintaining the eclectic style popular in Europe and the United States in the early 20th century, using plain bricks to build the moldings and pilasters, using brick arches and outer corridors, wooden corner purlins, and iron sheet slope roofs.
👀The Dongjiaominxiang embassy complex is the only remaining Western-style building complex in Beijing from the early 20th century.
