Always wanted to experience Aman Beijing, finally booked a one night stay. Upon arrival, Jason at the front desk was very helpful and patient in explaining various items and was pleasantly surprised to hear my room had been upgraded. The property and the room are just like the photos but actually physically being there and seeing all the details of the architecture, courtyards, and surrounding nature and birds is like being transported back in time to another era. In this sense, Aman Beijing accomplishes what no other modern five-star luxury hotel can come close to achieving - making one feel a certain emotion or feeling that they've never felt, or perhaps only experienced in their dreams. Everything from the furniture to the layout to the art to the lighting is so tastefully executed and done, the courtyards and grounds are kept immaculate (saw people sweeping away leaves), they even have the older style bicycles available to ride there. Ate at the Chinese restaurant twice, the environment and lighting is so nice, their dumplings are excellent and also really enjoyed some of their soups and vegetable offerings, very delicious. Unfortunately, I was quite sick that day and also had injured my knee the day before. One of the staff at the front desk noticed my limp and asked if I was okay. I told her I was fine, just a little sprain. She went to the back and brought out a traditional Chinese 'Ban Lan Gen' pain relief spray can which she kindly gave to me, saying I could use it and take it with me, very touched. I think it is moments like these which one will remember many years later. All the staff I met there were very kind, during lunch was fortunate enough to meet Ivy, the F&B Manager who was very warm and hospitable. Then during dinner, after I saw down, a restaurant staff asked if I would like an ice pack for my leg, I asked her if she thought it would help and she replied, "Yes." They proceeded to bring out a huge ice pack that was able to wrap around my entire knee, providing instant relief. Finally, when it was time to leave, the very lovely and kind Lucy asked if I would like more ice packs to be sent to my room so I could ice my knee before retiring for the night. Even though I was not feeling well, it was an unforgettable experience due in large part to the kind and wonderful staff there.

The Aman Summer Palace is like living in a fantasy. If you love the Summer Palace but want to avoid the crowds this is your choice. They have their own private gate. The staff are so friendly and the service is just amazing. I would give them more than 5 stars for service If I could. I am an executive for Resort development with Universal and I got a lot of great ideas during my stay. It is very quiet and peaceful and especially at night. I also had one of the best massages I can recall with a Shifu massuer. I am not sure what herbs he was using and I was dubious at first; but the proof is in the results. You just have to stay here at least once in your life!

First of all, I am very satisfied with all kind of service in Aman Summer Palace. All staffs are very kind and sincere. And I praise Jojo Feng who really helped us stay comfortable and enjoyable here. I felt that my family were likely to become part of Ming & Qing dynasty and travel back in the past. Definitely we will visit Aman summer palace again soon. This place really harmonizes with Yiheyuan very well.

The location is excellent. It is very convenient to go to the Summer Palace. The hotel is very unique and the catering and service are also very good. I stayed here on my birthday and the room level was upgraded. The room was also decorated. The quiet and beautiful garden room was very relaxing and the photography was excellent. In terms of catering, birthday bags, ice cream, drinks, etc. were also given. I participated in two cultural interest classes, which were so fun... such a happy experience. There was something wrong with the air conditioning. There was no air conditioning for two nights and it was too hot to sleep well.

A very satisfying stay. The service staff were very polite and upgraded the room type for free. The hotel has its own access to the Summer Palace. The restaurant attached to the hotel is delicious. I had a SPA in the hotel, which was very comfortable.

The hotel really didn't disappoint. Metro Line 4 is directly accessible and the location is good, making it convenient for travel. The hotel has good details and a pleasant and quiet environment. The breakfast is very special, with customized orders, and the quality and taste of each dish are in place. The Summer Palace across the wall is also very convenient. I was very satisfied with a morning run at 6 o'clock in the morning.

Response from Property: Thank you for staying at AmanYihe Hotel and taking the time to share your review. Thank you also for your recognition and love for us in all aspects. Aman Summer Palace is located at the East Gate of the Summer Palace. At the turn of the 20th century, it was the place where distinguished guests who went to the Summer Palace to meet the Empress Dowager Cixi stayed. Peace, tranquility, and a feeling of home This is our Aman philosophy. As a traditional yet modern retreat, we aim to understand the needs of our guests and focus on perfecting details in terms of service; in terms of architectural design, we fully respect history while also providing guests with the best services. Comfortable and modern enjoyment. I hope you had a wonderful and unforgettable time at AmanYihe.

It is like a paradise. Avoid the hustle and bustle of the crowd and stroll in the Chinese courtyard. The ancient and quaint buildings seem to travel back to the Qing Dynasty. The location of outstanding people and beautiful scenery is a blessing. I would like to give a full score to all the service staff for their careful, patient, high-quality and professional service! Mr. Achen at the front desk gave me a very detailed explanation of the hotel. Thank you very much. It is a good experience! The emotional value is full!

Amazing

Just came back from Aman Beijing Summer Palace, I really think this place is amazing! First of all, I have to praise their upgrade service, which upgraded me to a super large room, which was awesome! Their private cinema has to be mentioned, with a rich selection of movies, great picture quality and sound effects, and watching a movie at night is simply a great way to relax. However, there was a small episode, that is, a staff member accidentally entered our room at night. Although it was a misunderstanding, it was indeed a bit embarrassing at the time. But the hotel handled it quickly and the attitude was also very good, which made me feel very comfortable. When it comes to service, the hotel staff are very enthusiastic and thoughtful, which makes people feel very comfortable. So, in general, except for that little episode, I am still very satisfied with my experience at Aman Beijing Summer Palace. Highly recommended to everyone, if you have the opportunity to go to Beijing, this hotel is definitely worth a try!

The environment is very good, and the service is also very good; the small gate can directly lead to the Summer Palace, separated by a wall, which is very convenient. Breakfast is not a buffet, you can order, and the xiaolongbao, tofu brain and pancakes are all very good.

There are many things to complain about the hotel. Let me first say something positive, because the location is indeed very unique. In such a historically significant place, there is such a quiet environment in a bustling city. It is really blessed by nature. The surrounding trees are all centuries old, and the environment is also very good. I think it is a very good choice to have a good rest here and enjoy the leisure time. Now let's talk about some software issues that really affect the quality of our stay. I have stayed in many hotels. For example, Capella is the same price. Aman is not just a street away. On the first day of check-in, I had a suitcase. They sent my suitcase in, and then they didn't care about it. I found that there was no place to put it in the room. I could only put it behind my sofa, which meant that my suitcase was spread out on the ground. First, it would block my way to the bathroom. Second, it could only be placed on the ground, so I squatted on the ground for two days to get things. Well, the same situation, well, it should be equipped with a luggage rack, but they didn't. I found that my clothes needed to be washed, but I was afraid that the water would be stacked in the cabinet, so there was no place to hang them. I didn't want to hang them in the yard. , I need a place to support myself, preferably where water can drip on the floor. After I reminded them repeatedly, they put a piece of cloth under me when they made the night bed. I don't know why there are some bugs and flies in the room. I told them, and they said they didn't see any flies. To prove the existence of the flies, I took a photo. I don't understand why there are flies and bugs in such a clean and comfortable place. Well, the funniest thing is this desk and his chair. When I want to sit on the desk, the chair directly hits the bed, which means I don't put my feet in. Maybe I have to sit sideways to sit in. In addition, the cushion on the chair is also very interesting. Well, it is easy to move. It is actually very inconvenient. After I made this desk, I actually blocked the bed completely. That is to say, if I want to go to bed to rest, my family can only go to the other side of the bed. There is no way. We are poor and can only afford such a big place. The noodles were all lumpy on the first day of breakfast, but it was much better on the second day, but I ordered a pot of Dahongpao. No one added any hot water for me in the middle, so do I only deserve to drink one pot? When I was watching a movie, I was very grateful that the movie was shown as if it was arranged for me. But when I left, no one turned on the light for me. I walked out in the dark, and my hat fell in the movie room. Fortunately, they returned it to me in the end. But if you think about it, it is a bit scary to walk out of the movie room alone in the dark. Fortunately, it was not at night, but in the afternoon. On the last day of leaving the hotel, I asked Ctrip’s butler to help me confirm the time of leaving the hotel on the last day. They told me that they had tried, but the hotel only let me check out at 12:00, so I arranged my next trip according to this time. I never expected that I received a call a few minutes later. They said that the hotel front desk said that they could help me upgrade the process, but I had already arranged other trips. I was just curious why they didn’t reply directly to Ctrip’s butler? On the last day of my departure, I needed a plastic bag, so I called the front desk to ask if they had any. The front desk told me that they didn’t have any. Well, actually, I had no place to put my wet towels and some other wet things. They said they only had paper ones, as if they were very environmentally friendly. When I got to the front desk, the front desk also gave me a plastic bag. I didn’t understand why it was so hard to ask for a bag? To be honest, with the same quality, these details management and service really can’t keep up. The most interesting thing is that there was a cultural class of paper cutting. The teacher saw that I was the only one coming, and I finished it in about 10 minutes. I wanted to talk about the paper cutting culture, but the teacher didn’t have the patience to talk, and then kept complaining there, saying that after the epidemic, no one asked him to go to class. Maybe it was because the economy was not good, but the question was why? Even if I was alone, they didn’t have the patience to teach me this culture? It is said to be an intangible cultural heritage. The funniest thing is that after cutting the paper, they didn't do anything to me, they just gave me a plastic bag to put it in. I really didn't want to spoil my fun, so I left quickly. Maybe it's because we are in the north, the management is really not meticulous, I think he doesn't deserve the price, I am very grateful that they are trying their best, of course the person in charge will also work hard to implement it, but if you have to find the leader for everything, isn't it very troublesome? Isn't management about standardization? I really can't understand why such a small thing has to be so troublesome I have stayed in so many hotels. If they are of the same level, I think Capella's service and details are a hundred times better than theirs Capella makes me feel at home, while Aman makes me feel depressed and uncomfortable, and inconvenient, just like putting conditioner in a very beautiful gourd bottle, but have you ever thought that conditioner is so sticky that I can't pour it out at all, and I don't know if the faucet in the shower is designed like this on purpose, or it is broken from the beginning, anyway, the handle is always loose The faucet of the washbasin and the porcelain countertop are almost in love, and I have to touch the sink every time I wash my hands, and the water is also very slow I think such a comfortable courtyard is refreshing, not uncomfortable everywhere. It's a pity for such a good view, it's a pity for such a good location The last thing I want to mention is that I brought another relative to the hotel on the first day. Although they did not stay, they also wanted to go to the Summer Palace, and they were all over 60 years old. So I told the front desk person in charge that day that the hotel can bring two people in, can I bring two more people over 60 years old? Because people over 60 years old can get free tickets, so we don’t have to act separately. Before I finished speaking, the person in charge said: This matter has nothing to do with age, and directly rejected me, so that I had to let two elderly people over 60 years old separate from us. Such inhumane management is simply a bad review. It seems that he saw so many of us with disgust. Even if my relatives are visitors, you don’t have to treat us like this, right? There are four Amans in total, and I have stayed in two of them. Beijing Summer Palace Aman is garbage! I don’t need any compensation, I don’t need any reason, I just want to tell everyone the management of this hotel truthfully, that’s all, he doesn’t deserve this price!
