Hotels in Yanqi Lake/Hongluo Temple area, Beijing

Two years ago, I stayed here in late autumn and absolutely loved strolling by the lake, as well as hiking the Xishan trail to admire the autumn scenery and overlook the lakeside views from above. Taking advantage of the lull before the Mid-Autumn and National Day holidays, and coinciding with my daughter's birthday, we decided to return to Sunrise Kempinski for another stay. During check-in, Zhang Jiajia at the front desk thoughtfully noticed it was my daughter's birthday. Super attentive and heartwarming, she upgraded our booked city-view room to a lake-view room free of charge, and even arranged it in a prime central location. The panoramic lake and mountain views were breathtaking – a wonderful and unexpected birthday surprise! That evening, we dined at the Chinese restaurant on the second floor. We ordered steamed sea bass, boiled snowflake beef, stir-fried choy sum, and a vegetable salad. The food was delicious and the portions were so generous we couldn't finish it all. Being advocates of 'no waste,' we packed the leftovers and put them in the fridge. The next day at noon, I somewhat sheepishly asked the restaurant supervisor, ”We had a lot of leftovers last night, and every dish was delicious, it would be such a waste to throw them away. Could I order two new dishes and bother the kitchen to reheat last night's leftovers for us?” To my surprise, the supervisor promptly replied, ”If the leftovers are enough for you, you don't even have to order new dishes.” What was even more heartwarming was that the leftovers were not only reheated thoroughly and served piping hot, but they were also meticulously arranged on various beautifully shaped plates, looking indistinguishable from freshly ordered dishes. I've stayed in many high-end hotels, but I've truly never encountered such kind, thoughtful, and down-to-earth service anywhere else. The Sunrise Kempinski Hotel Beijing, Yanqi Lake, truly deserves high praise! 👍👍👍

Overall, my stay exceeded expectations. The room was clean and well-arranged, and the bedding was soft and comfortable – just right. The front desk staff were warm, polite, and efficient with check-in procedures. Even the security guard at the main entrance was great, actively helping with vehicle adjustments. There are robots for delivering items. The location is convenient for getting around, with restaurants easily accessible right across the street. Good value for money, I would choose to stay here again next time.

The room decor, interiors, and amenities are quite new and distinctive. The mini-bar offers a generous selection of complimentary drinks and snacks, and the breakfast boasts a wide variety and delicious taste. The Executive Lake View room is located on a higher floor, with floor-to-ceiling windows directly facing Yanqi Lake. From the balcony, sitting on the lounge chair, you can take in the sparkling lake and the continuous Yanshan mountain range in the distance. In the evening, there's even a light show on the mountain, revealing its contours. Autumn nights are cool and pleasant, around 15 degrees Celsius. The evening breeze carries moisture from the lake, rich in negative oxygen ions, and is incredibly refreshing – a feeling comparable to a seaside vacation. The hotel also features a lakeside walking path and a boardwalk, offering an excellent experience for waterside strolls. Along the lake's edge, there are many elevated viewing stools where you can sit, daydream, clear your mind, and appreciate nature. There's also a 'Sky Mirror' photo platform where you can place your phone on a clear day to capture stunning photos of the water and sky blending into one. The hotel also has many staggered viewing platforms of varying heights, distributed in different areas. Sitting on a swing chair, you can relax and gaze at the lake and mountains. In short, the hotel's overall design largely meets most needs for a lakeside and waterfront vacation – it's definitely worth a visit! Aside from the slightly expensive dining and electric car charging, there are practically no other drawbacks. The stay included complimentary access to Yanqi Island, but unfortunately, due to an event on the island this time, I couldn't go, which was a shame!

Had a two-day trip to Yanqi Lake and chose Yanqi Hotel, Beijing. The hotel environment is peaceful, elegant, and full of luxury. From the lobby to the outdoor grounds, every step offers a picturesque view—super photogenic! In the evening, there's a musical fountain, and it's nice, quiet, and not crowded. The kids' playground, spa, gym, and swimming pool were all open and fully operational. The room was spacious and spotless, with very comfortable bedding that gave us a wonderful night's sleep. We tried both the Chinese and Western dining options; the food tasted great with a wide variety to choose from. The staff were warm, attentive, and thoughtful—special thanks to Bingao! A perfect escape from the hustle and bustle of the city to unwind and relax on vacation. Overall, we were extremely satisfied with our stay. Highly recommended and definitely worth a return visit!

This was an excellent guesthouse experience. It started with a phone inquiry where the front desk staff patiently answered all my questions. Then, due to personal reasons, I had to cancel one of the rooms the day before check-in. According to the platform's policy, there would be a cancellation fee, but after discussing it, the front desk staff processed a full refund for me. All of this gave me a great first impression of Lihuaxi Courtyard. Upon arrival, I was captivated by the exquisite landscaping of the courtyard: vibrant flowers, a lush lawn, a flowing stream, and even friendly kittens... It immediately put me in a relaxed holiday mood. The room was clean, tidy, and comfortable. The tatami mat was especially a hit with the kids. Our family squeezed together to play cards, chat, and watch videos. When we were tired, we could go to the terrace to admire the mountains, bask in the sun, and breathe in the fresh mountain air – it was incredibly pleasant. The courtyard also offered badminton and table tennis, and the kids enjoyed feeding the ducks and geese. All three meals could be enjoyed at 'Yue Xiao Chu' within the courtyard, and the food was absolutely delicious. I highly recommend the sturgeon, lemon chicken, chestnut braised pork, sour and spicy shredded potatoes, and the vegetable dumplings... If you're looking for a weekend getaway with your family in Huairou, Lihuaxi Courtyard is definitely a worthwhile choice.

Pretty good. The bed was quite large; a single bed in the standard room was big enough for two people. Breakfast was also quite plentiful, and there were three of us staying. My child got a half-price breakfast for 19 yuan.

Huairou has its own Alice in Wonderland... absolutely stunning! Everything you need for food, drinks, and fun is here! You could easily spend an entire weekend! ✔️ Zisu Courtyard 🏠 A beautifully designed courtyard – perfect for healing and unwinding 💐. The timed mist spray makes every casual photo look amazing 📸. ✔️ Capybara Park 🦌 Like a castle from a comic book brought to life 🏰. You can even feed the deer! ✔️ Red Chestnut Cafe 🌰 A cycling-friendly and charming village cafe ☕️ with a very chill atmosphere~. There are many art pieces inside, and you can even make your own coffee bead bracelets 🫘. ✔️ Zhiguan Pottery 🥣 Here you can DIY various pottery items, which is a lot of fun 🥳. ✔️ Qunsheng Courtyard 🥢 The must-try braised donkey meat in Huairou! Many people drive specifically to eat here 🤤. The freshly wrapped and baked flatbread is incredibly fragrant... and other dishes are also guaranteed to be delicious! I want to come back to Huairou countless times just for this art village 😭

The room was well-equipped and clean, and everything else was great. However, there's one issue: the showerhead was severely clogged, and the water flow was poor. I noticed that previous guests had also mentioned this problem, which indicates it hasn't been given enough attention. This affected my stay. I hope the hotel improves this, as the overall environment is indeed excellent. Just a small suggestion, I wonder if it will be taken into consideration.

Great environment, attentive service, and a beautiful pool view! There was a minor hiccup during check-in, but the cleaning lady on the 6th floor, Ms. Gao, was incredibly helpful. She assisted us in coordinating with the lobby manager, and subsequently, Manager Guo provided excellent and thoughtful service. Overall, a good experience!

I was very satisfied with this stay. When I choose a hotel, I'm particularly concerned about hygiene, especially the details. This hotel, however, did not disappoint me. Although the facilities are a bit old and there's clear corrosion on the bathroom walls and floors due to age, everything was spotless, and the faucets were polished to a shine. Overall, it was quite good! The price was very reasonable compared to other hotels in the area, offering great value for money. From check-in to check-out, all the staff I interacted with were warm and polite – the young lady at the front desk, the cleaning staff for the rooms, and the restaurant servers were all excellent. The view from the window and the environment within the courtyard were also fantastic. It's a great place for a getaway in the Beijing suburbs.
