Gaming & Esports Hotels in Beijing

When people talk about the Mandarin Oriental Wangfujing, Beijing, they often label it as a 'luxury hotel in the hutongs,' a 'hidden gem along the central axis,' or a 'masterpiece of the Qianmen regeneration project.' But if we set aside these external definitions and focus purely on the stay experience, the deepest impression it left on me can be summed up in two words: sheer comfort. This comfort doesn't stem from any single specific amenity, but rather from an overall feeling. Tucked away deep within Beijing's Qianmen hutongs, stepping through the gate from the bustling streets into the courtyard felt like entering a different dimension of time. Grey bricks, dark tiles, courtyard walls, and tree shadows – all elements were distinctly Beijing, yet without any forced emphasis on being 'Beijing.' The design didn't just stop at symbolism; instead, it re-organized the hutong courtyard lifestyle, truly allowing guests to live in a modern Beijing courtyard home. Beijing in the summer is particularly suited to this place. The afternoon sun dappled through the leaves onto the courtyard, with doves perched quietly on the branches. Sitting in the courtyard, watching the clouds drift slowly between the eaves and grey walls, you suddenly understand why old Beijingers always said, 'There must be a tree in the courtyard.' The tree not only provides shade but also marks the passage of time. The wind changes, the light changes, and the tree shadows change. Many mention its 'hidden location in the hutongs,' but what's truly worth experiencing isn't just the hidden aspect, but rather that elusive relationship with Beijing's urban culture. Outside the walls are the hustle and bustle of Qianmen, while inside, the unique sense of scale characteristic of courtyard living is preserved. Looking up, you see the sky; looking down, you see tree roots and青砖 (qingzhuan - traditional grey bricks); occasionally, birdsong can be heard. These seemingly ordinary details become precious in today's city. The service also left an excellent impression. It wasn't an overly enthusiastic kind of service, but rather a sincere and well-measured attentiveness. Help was always there when needed, yet they maintained an appropriate distance when not. Many high-end hotels can achieve professionalism, but it's not easy to make guests feel genuine care, and this place truly has that ability. Near check-out, I had a chat with the duty manager, Chloe. What began as a simple conversation unexpectedly became a memorable part of this stay. She meticulously detailed the design philosophy and spatial characteristics of the hotel's 42 rooms, patiently explaining everything from the layouts of different courtyards to the subtle differences between rooms. One could feel her genuine understanding and passion for this hotel, which in turn gave me a more complete appreciation for this hidden hutong gem. My special thanks also go to Chloe for her insights and hospitality. Upon leaving, I felt that the most precious aspect of this hotel wasn't its luxury, but rather how it has preserved the ambiance of courtyard living in a rapidly changing city like Beijing. Shade from trees, grey walls, summer clouds, birdsong. These seemingly ordinary things collectively form a part of my memory of summer in Beijing. If staying at a hotel is about experiencing a space, then the Mandarin Oriental Wangfujing is more about experiencing a Beijing way of life. It may not be for everyone, but for those willing to slow down and embrace the city, beauty can be found everywhere here.

The hotel's location is excellent, right next to Wangfujing Pedestrian Street, surrounded by luxury shops, making it very convenient to get around. The Mandarin Oriental's attention to detail is superb. The understated luxury and 'old money' vibe are precisely my style. The vanity room is spacious, and they prepared welcome fruits and snacks, a bottle of red wine, and even pear soup, along with a beautifully written welcome letter. It truly made me feel right at home. Breakfast is a mix of buffet and à la carte, with fresh, organic ingredients and amazing flavors. I even had breakfast alongside the Russian ambassador at the next table! Sipping a coffee with a Forbidden City latte art design on the large terrace overlooking the Forbidden City, I truly experienced a taste of royal life. So happy! 😃

Overall, it's a good hotel in all aspects. The young man at the entrance immediately offered to help us with our luggage as soon as he saw us. After checking out, a lady in a cheongsam gave a teddy bear to my child, who was very happy. However, there was one strange incident: we didn't touch any drinks in the fridge, but housekeeping claimed we drank a bottle of Alien electrolyte water and withheld a 15 yuan deposit. When we called to inquire, they quickly processed the refund for the 15 yuan, so their problem-solving efficiency was excellent. But it's still quite strange where that drink went. This minor incident didn't affect the overall experience; the hotel is still very good.

Overall, my experience of staying here was exceptionally satisfying, and I must give it plenty of praise. Ava, the front desk staff, was exceptionally friendly and accommodating. She handled the check-in process efficiently and quickly, patiently explaining the breakfast hours, parking locations, and the rules for using the gym, self-service laundry facilities, and other amenities. She also kindly provided suggestions for getting around the area. Her demeanor was gentle and patient, and there was absolutely no sense of perfunctoryness. The rooms were spotless, the bedding was soft and clean, the bathrooms were free of water stains and odors, and the soundproofing was excellent, ensuring a restful night’s sleep. The buffet breakfast offered a wide variety of hot and cold dishes, pastries, and fruits, all of which were fresh and delicious. The hotel’s free parking lot had plenty of spaces, making it convenient to park and exit. The gym equipment was well-maintained, and exercising during leisure hours was very enjoyable. The self-service laundry facility was fully equipped, solving the problem of laundry during travel. The cleaning staff were prompt and courteous, and responded quickly to any requests. This entire hotel offers excellent value for money, with attention to detail in every aspect of service. It’s perfect for both business trips and leisure stays, providing a comfortable and secure experience throughout. If I were to visit this area again, I would definitely choose this hotel, and I highly recommend it to anyone traveling.

Five-star review! This stay was particularly heartwarming, and I especially want to commend Beibei at the front desk. Beibei checked us in on our first night in Beijing. She was warm and welcoming, and spoke so gently. Seeing that we had a child with us, she thoughtfully gave us a small electric fan, which was incredibly considerate given the hot Beijing weather. During our stay, she even proactively contacted us via WeChat, letting us know we could reach out to her anytime if we needed anything. On our departure day, we were delayed at the Summer Palace, and Beibei went above and beyond to help us get a late check-out, solving a real problem for us. Meeting such a kind and attentive staff member during our trip truly warmed our hearts. Beijing is a city worth visiting again and again, and next time we're here, we'll definitely choose Joy City Hotel again, and I hope we get to see Beibei! Highly recommended!

The Peninsula Beijing is located in the heart of Wangfujing, which was very convenient for our family trip with the kids. A huge thank you to Ms. Ma Lan (Rita) for her meticulous attention to detail, and also to Ms. Zi Ludi (Ludi) and Mr. Wang Zhipeng (Brian) for their thoughtful arrangements. I also want to mention the front desk staff – when I left, I realized I hadn't saved my photos properly. If you see this message, please let me know! I must give a big thumbs up to the hotel. The room layout is very comfortable, and the Chinese restaurant offers excellent dishes. The customer service staff responded promptly to every request, making our stay a truly memorable experience. The room details were immaculately cleaned. The gym equipment, all Technogym, was also top-notch. The shopping arcade has a more comprehensive selection of brands than SKP or China World Mall. It was a delightful trip. The Peninsula Beijing is definitely worth a visit.

The hotel's location is excellent, with very convenient access to public transport and the subway. Most importantly, right outside the hotel is Tianqiao Roast Duck (the branch near the General Administration of Sport, where even athletes and celebrities queue to eat). A 500-meter walk takes you to Ya'er Li Ji for breakfast with their tofu pudding and beef buns, then braised pork noodles for lunch, and mutton spine hotpot for dinner... there are countless delicious food options, though I only have one stomach! The room service was great; the cleaning staff were very thorough and meticulously cleaned, also thoughtfully replenishing our bottled water daily. Overall, it was a very comfortable and satisfying stay with a fantastic experience. Plus, you might even bump into some athletes! 😯

Having stayed at many five-star hotels in Beijing, this one currently reigns supreme. First off, the views are unbeatable; you get a panoramic sweep of iconic skyscrapers like the CCTV Headquarters and Fortune Plaza. The night lights are spectacular, truly embodying the city's vibrant spirit. On the day I checked in, there was a minor issue that was quickly resolved by upgrading my room. The 64th-floor lounge offers 24-hour free-flow drinks. While the variety isn't extensive, it generally meets most executive lounge expectations. The coffee, however, is quite good. The happy hour on the 80th floor had decent pastries. Hot dishes were replenished quickly, and the service was excellent. The breakfast buffet is absolutely top-notch, combining à la carte and buffet options. The à la carte seafood millet porridge, with generous portions of scallops, sea cucumber, and shrimp, was incredibly comforting – I had two bowls. The egg tarts, fresh from the oven, were also outstanding; flaky crust, not too sweet, simply delicious. I recommend going before 9:30 AM for breakfast to snag a window seat and enjoy it at leisure. The room had many thoughtful details. For instance, the Nespresso machine already had water in it, and the instructions were incredibly simple – just pop in a capsule. In most hotels of the same caliber, I'd usually have to add water and plug it in myself. The large bathtub came with a headrest, and bath towels were conveniently placed within reach above. Even under the sink, there was an anti-slip towel mat, making every corner of the room feel meticulously arranged for comfort. The pool on the 78th floor is open until 11 PM. There are also two steam rooms and a massage pool, perfect for relaxing. I'm already planning to try a room with a view next time.

Came to Rosewood for my birthday, and they thoughtfully prepared a small cake and a card! I was so touched! The hotel location is excellent, very close to the World Trade Center, making getting around super convenient. The facilities are comprehensive and well-maintained, and the decor style is beautiful, perfect for taking photos. What's most commendable is the outstanding service; the front desk was very efficient with check-in and check-out, especially Cedric and Cloe, who proactively handled a guest's forgotten items and helped with luggage. They were warm, hospitable, professional, attentive, and meticulous. I will definitely be back!

Apart from the renovation which we were told beforehand, the room we had was dark (probably because it was a windowless room), humid, aircon wasn’t strong but they provided a fan. Could smell urine even with the toilet seat covered, toilet door was closed, to a point that i was awaken by the foul smell. Had to spray perfume to have it barely covered. Ventilation was super bad. Cons aside, service was good, fridge in room had free drinks. Would recommend to book a window room if you had to even though friend that stayed in the window room said it was bad too. There’s a mall few minutes walk away which was a plus. Good view on the reception floor too.
