Luxury Hotels in Beijing

"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! 😃"

"Our stay was excellent. The room had a view of the Liangma River, and I assume every room offers a different angle of the river. The room was private and quiet, and impeccably clean. The turndown service, which included homemade drinks in a thermos, was a thoughtful touch. The breakfast selection was vast; we tried both Chinese and American options, and both were delicious. Our butler, Bitty, provided exceptional service from check-in, always responsive to our needs and checking in on our family daily. We received complimentary fruit and dessert upon arrival, and snacks were delivered to our room every evening. Overall, the service was incredibly attentive. We will definitely choose the Bulgari Hotel again on our next visit to Beijing."

"First of all, Jason at the front desk is very helpful and thoughtful. Not to mention the rest of the hotel staff were also friendly and helpful yet leaving you great space of privacy. We were very well taken care of. We stayed in the courtyard suite which is lovely. It feels magical to stay at such a historical place. Breakfast is not in buffet style but the selections offered are good enough especially the Chinese style breakfast. We also enjoyed the champagne and cold cuts platter. Thrilled to find out the spa service operate until 11pm, which we can go to sleep straight after the massage after dinner. On the other hand, the private access entrance to the summer palace is a plus point. As we don’t need to go through the usual public entrance that is full of people. The complimentary traditional costume photoshoot was surprisingly good. The quality of the costumes and make up are easily comparable ( or better than) to the paid one offer outside. Overall, we had a really good time throughout the stay where we were able to experience the tranquility and elegance of the Summer Palace. The team at Summer Palace Hotel done a good job!"

"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."

"This was my second stay at The Chedi. My last visit was before the floods, and it's still just as perfect. The customer service contacted me in advance and added me to a WeChat group. For my wife's birthday, they sent sparkling wine to the room, and when we ordered dinner at Rongfu Yan, they even included longevity noodles. My wife was very pleased, thank you! I heard that The Chedi ranks second among luxury wilderness hotels in China, with The Banyan Tree Lijiang being first. I've been to The Banyan Tree as well, and personally, I don't think it compares to The Chedi. I'll definitely be returning to The Chedi again."

"My stay at InterContinental Sanlitun was fantastic, a special thanks to the concierge, Cari Cao! She was professional and attentive, helping arrange transportation and recommending local attractions. Her responses were always prompt and thoughtful. The hotel's location is superb, and the overall service is excellent. I would definitely choose to stay here again when I visit Beijing. Highly recommended!"

"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!"

"The PuXuan's location was perfect for us while we were traveling in Beijing. The housekeeping staff cleaned the rooms super well and even noticed our room habits and made adjustments to make our stay more comfortable. We were super impressed with how the room was left for us every night. That being said, some of the other facilities weren't in good shape. We were kind of disappointed because we wanted to go to the sauna and it was broken and really small. We also had a leak in our room the last day. We also received a cute coin for a welcome drink but when we went to redeem it, they didn't know what welcome drink we meant and didn't get one. The hotel breakfast was delicious, both western and local options. The bar was also great, with a special World Cup themed drink menu as we were there during the World Cup finals. "

"The location couldn't be better! Right in the heart of Wangfujing, it's convenient for getting anywhere and perfectly blends with Beijing's bustling modernity and ancient charm. The Deluxe King Room I stayed in had a perfect view and was incredibly comfortable. A special shout-out to the hotel's private butler team! Their service mindset is exceptional; they followed up throughout our stay, paid meticulous attention to details, and were quick to respond to any request and arrange everything perfectly. Their professionalism is top-notch 💯. The hardware facilities are luxurious, and the soft services are beyond reproach. I will definitely choose this hotel again next time I'm in Beijing!"

"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."
