Luxury Hotels in Beijing

"The service was exceptional, and I'd especially like to commend the front office team. We were incredibly well looked after during our stay. Alex, Aimyon, and Lina at the front desk were constantly helping us with room coordination, and Gemini from the concierge helped us plan our itinerary. The entire reception experience was fantastic. We'll definitely be back!"

"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."

"A quadrangle courtyard in a royal garden! This super-spacious suite even had a welcome snack box that was a puzzle to open, like a giant toy. The fruit selection was plentiful, and all the snacks were delicious 😋. The service was warm and attentive. For breakfast, I had a jianbing guozi from the imperial kitchen, along with old Beijing-style fried dough sticks and tofu pudding – absolutely delightful. I really liked the quality of the makeup, outfits, and photography from the hotel's travel photoshoot service. When I entered the Summer Palace through the side gate and saw the surprised looks on the other tourists' faces, I instantly felt like I had traveled from the Qing Dynasty to modern times, haha 😂. This is definitely a hotel I'll stay at again; highly recommended!"

"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."

"I arrived a bit early on check-in day and my room wasn't ready yet. However, after speaking with the front desk, they kindly upgraded me to an executive floor room for free! A big thank you to the lovely front desk staff for their warm service! The room facilities and hotel amenities are excellent. The location is incredibly convenient, right in Beijing's core business district, Sanlitun, with plenty of dining, entertainment, and shopping options nearby. The room view was beautiful, and the night view was truly stunning! The hotel staff were all incredibly welcoming. The doormen provided excellent service to every guest, really showcasing the hospitality of Beijing's residents. I highly recommend this hotel to anyone visiting Beijing – it's absolutely fantastic!"

"Halfway through my trip, I rarely write reviews, but the Rosewood Beijing truly exceeded my expectations. Initially, I had only planned to stay for one night, but I ended up extending it to three nights! Here’s why: 1. The service was incredibly attentive. From check-in to room amenities and the hotel's comprehensive facilities, including the tranquil executive lounge, it’s an ideal choice for a summer family trip. Despite a few minor hiccups, Pauling's thoughtful arrangements truly highlighted the Rosewood's brand charm. My top choices for Beijing used to be the Mandarin Oriental, The Peninsula, or the Four Seasons, but now I’m definitely a Rosewood convert. 2. I particularly loved the 6th-floor wellness area. The pool and gym are separated, and the interplay of sunlight and water reflections is both beautiful and relaxing. The gym is spacious with diverse equipment. One afternoon, I even coincidentally saw a top-tier Chinese celebrity discreetly working out there. 3. The aesthetic design is excellent. Although the hotel has been open for a while, the attention to detail in its maintenance is evident. Having stayed in many luxury hotels in Beijing, the Rosewood consistently earns my trust across all aspects. Special thanks again to Pauling, Jessi from the executive lounge, and Betty from the lobby. I look forward to my next stay!"

"The PuXuan Hotel and Spa, is definitely ONE OF A KIND. It is truly a luxurious experience. We experienced several aspects of the hotel: room service, laundry, spa, and even special requests. Our journey started when we arrived to the hotel at 8am. The staff welcomed us warmly and offered tot ake care of our luggage while we explored Beijing and came back to do the proper check-in. We stayed at the parking lobby for a while, and they never tried to push us out. (In other hotels they do). Once we checked in, everything just kept improving. The rooms is simply magnificent, a “smart room” but in a really SMART. No over complicated controls, everything was user-friendly. I want to highlight the design of the room, and specially THE BATHROOM. I loved the sower, everything was clean and offered a great shower experience. Then the HOTEL SERVICES MY GOD, kudos to the all of the staff. We ordered room service and the menu was INCREDIBLE. We are from Mexico and they had Quesadillas, and a great wagyu burger! The service was quick and the food was delicious. The Creme Brulee was my favorite. We also request some laundry and MY GOD the quality of it. My linen shirt came back AS GOOD AS NEW, honestly. No single crease. About the hotel SPA, it was a truly magical experience. I reserved a traditional Chinese Medicine massage and the service was great. Although, from what I’ve experienced in other hotel spas, the price for me was a little bit off, despite the ambiance and the quality of the room. One note is that the robe felt old, it had some loose threads (and I mean I know this is is a small detail, but with everything else being just perfect, it just felt out of place to be honest). Now, the cherry on top WAS THEY NOTICED MY BIRTHDAY. Like, even i had forgotten it! Honestly! They went above and beyond to make this a truly special occasion for me! I was really touched by this present. With the overall experience I was really motivated to comeback to the PuXuan but with this small but significant detail I WILL DEFINITELY KEEP COMING BACK. Needless to say the food, the breakfast, the overall quality of the place is spectacular. Yes, maybe it can feel too modern at times, but you can feel the Chinese hospitality and details through the hotel. The hotel manager was kind enough to wave us goodbye at the checkout (and I loved her shoes by the way, she was so stylish). I personally want to thank her for keeping this high standards of services! THANK YOU! Please BOOK The PuXuan, do not hesitate on it!"

"My stay at The Ritz-Carlton Beijing, China Central Place was absolutely perfect! The decor is a classic 'old money' style – understated luxury without being flashy. The vintage furnishings create an amazing ambiance and feel incredibly high-quality. The hotel environment is tranquil and elegant, and the location is convenient, offering a quiet escape despite being in a bustling area. The service was refined and professional, with staff being attentive and thoughtful, paying attention to every detail. The rooms are spacious and comfortable, with excellent soundproofing, making the overall comfort outstanding. The heritage of this long-established luxury hotel is simply irreplaceable. Highly recommend!"

"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."
