Luxury Hotels in Beijing

"Traveling to Beijing with my kids for a concert, after much deliberation, I still chose the Mandarin Oriental, a hotel I've always loved! Their consistently thoughtful service and excellent food proved my decision was spot on, haha~ The location of Mandarin Oriental Wangfujing is unbeatable; it's very close to Tiananmen Square and the Forbidden City, with plenty of shopping malls and great dining options nearby. The large terrace on the 5th floor offers stunning views, and this time I even managed to capture the Forbidden City at sunset~ The semi-buffet breakfast with a la carte options is very convenient, and all the pastries are handmade daily, which my kids thoroughly enjoyed~ Many thanks to Rosie from Guest Relations, as well as Aimyon and Stena, who made my four-night stay truly delightful!"

"Coming back to the Bulgari Hotel Beijing after six years, the experience is still absolutely perfect! 💯 The location, nestled in the embassy district, offers a serene escape while being super close to Sanlitun and Guomao – just a 10-15 minute taxi ride away, making it convenient for getting around with kids. The service, as always, is top-notch luxury; from the moment you're greeted at the entrance to the in-room service, everything is incredibly thoughtful and responsive, with every little detail taken care of flawlessly. The facilities are also superbly maintained. The pool, restaurants, and all amenities are still excellent, truly setting the benchmark for luxury hotels in Beijing. Our whole family had a wonderfully comfortable stay, and we'll definitely choose this hotel again next time we're in Beijing! Breakfast runs until 11 AM, which perfectly caters to those of us who need a late morning meal after a natural wake-up. The hotel's plant printing activity was also a fantastic experience; the kids loved it! Soaking fresh leaves 🍃 and petals 🌸 in water – even just for photos, it was absolutely beautiful and bubbly! A special shout-out to our butler, Catherine. She's beautiful and kind, meticulously handling every detail. Upon learning we had stayed here six years ago, she proactively offered to make a photo frame for our child as a souvenir, which we deeply appreciate! Another perfect experience!"

"Even though it's no longer affiliated with a top-tier luxury brand, it's still worth a stay. The hotel itself is part of the Summer Palace's imperial gardens, which we specifically explored at night. The gardens are an intricate maze of carved balustrades, jade-like structures, and winding corridors, where time itself seems to shape the space. While the bustling crowds are just outside the walls, hotel guests have private, unlimited access to the Summer Palace through a special entrance, though a staff member needs to open the gate each time. Afternoon tea is served by a small pond, shaded by weeping willows and surrounded by blooming flowers – perfect for a lingering late spring afternoon. While the setting is dreamy, the pastries were generally a bit too sweet for my liking. The breakfast restaurant, adorned with a 'Royal Cuisine' plaque, offers a semi-buffet. Emperors of old might not have enjoyed the variety and quality available today! The hot food selection includes both Chinese and Western options; while it might not be as bustling as other hotel breakfasts, the quality is excellent and the service impeccable. Our room was upgraded to a suite with a thoughtfully designed layout. The bedding was luxurious and the pillows incredibly comfortable. The nine-compartment box filled with snacks was a delightful touch. Toiletries are presented in ceramic gourds, giving them the appearance of ancient elixirs. However, these ceramic bottles for shampoo and shower gel are a bit impractical; they're slippery and made me nervous about dropping and breaking them, and the conditioner was difficult to squeeze out. This could definitely be improved. We had to rush off, so we didn't get to experience many of the amenities, leaving us a good reason to return."

"Honestly, staying at this hotel for my first time in Beijing truly broadened my horizons and changed my perception of the city. My wife, our child, and I came to Beijing for the May Day holiday. She said since we're here, we might as well splurge and experience a traditional Beijing courtyard. It truly delivered a top-tier luxury experience. The room layout was excellent, the courtyard views were charming, the service was impeccable, and the location was superb with an abundance of food delivery options. Breakfast was all made-to-order. The only thing we missed out on was the bar and hotel activities, but there's always next time. I do have two minor points of discomfort to share, just for reference: 1. When our taxi pulled up to the hotel entrance, a staff member immediately asked me what I was doing there. I was a bit taken aback at first, then explained I was checking in. I'm not blaming him; perhaps I was dressed too casually, but it did feel a little off-putting. 2. On our last day, breakfast felt less crowded, but the food service was incredibly slow. We went at 10 AM, thinking half an hour would be plenty for breakfast, especially since the day before our food arrived in about 15 minutes. This time, we waited half an hour just for the dishes to arrive. Overall, it was absolutely wonderful, and I'd definitely go back if I get the chance. It left a lasting impression, and thinking about it now still brings back such lovely memories, especially sitting in the courtyard at night, listening to music and watching the stars 💫"

"The room wasn't very big, and there wasn't anything particularly new or innovative. If you're going for the design, it's alright. Honestly, the view was just so-so; my favorite part was a waterfall inside, worth checking out if you're interested. Now, for the main point: the overall service quality really didn't match the price. I messaged the butler with my taxi's license plate number as soon as I got off the subway, but they didn't reply even after I had arrived, so I had to walk in. They did send someone to pick me up halfway, though. The service at both restaurants was incredibly bad. Are the staff at RB really that busy? Throughout my entire meal, they only refilled my water once, and I only realized it when I was finished. When I wanted to pay, I couldn't find anyone for ages and had to shout to get someone to come over. I also asked the butler for a pen, and they told me to get one from Rongfu Yan, but it was never delivered. And when I encountered older staff members, they wouldn't greet me, though the younger ones would. I'm really not being overly critical; I've stayed at quite a few hotels and usually can't be bothered to leave reviews. But I think it's completely unacceptable for a hotel of this caliber to have such a low level of service quality."

"Full marks for Rosewood Beijing! My stay here exceeded all expectations. I was pleasantly surprised with a complimentary upgrade to a Grand Executive Room upon check-in, along with an exquisite welcome amenity, exclusive cocktail access, and full access to the Manor Club executive lounge – truly a VIP experience from start to finish. Special commendation goes to two staff members from Guest Relations: Lucas, who assisted me yesterday, was incredibly gentle and thorough in his communication, patiently addressing all my needs. Today, Pauling was professional and enthusiastic, meticulously arranging everything and offering proactive, thoughtful assistance. Their professionalism and approachability were impeccable. The executive lounge has an elegant ambiance, and the food and beverage quality are top-notch. The Grand Executive Room is spacious with a sophisticated design, and the amenities are flawless. From the room upgrade to the attentive service from all staff, every detail showcased Rosewood’s high standard of luxury service. This will be my first choice for future visits to Beijing. Highly recommended! Also, a big thank you to Trip.com for the Black Diamond WOW privilege~"

"The location is unbeatable, it's the newest hotel of its caliber within the Third Ring Road, even though it's been open for 10 years, which explains its consistently firm pricing. The hard decor style clearly aimed for a W-like vibe within the InterContinental brand, but it didn't quite hit the mark. The pool changing room was the biggest letdown – a tiny space with no seating and a foul odor. I remember when it first opened, the pool even had an underwater pedal exerciser that was visible from outside; not sure why they removed it."

"We arrived at the hotel around 8 PM, and the concierge smoothly guided us to the front desk. The check-in process was seamless. The front desk upgraded our room and changed it to a twin-bedded room, as per our request. The room was absolutely beautiful. The scent was incredibly soothing and high-quality, instantly making me feel calm. It was also very well-maintained and surprisingly spacious, which was a pleasant surprise. The breakfast was also excellent; I especially loved the waffles. The hotel's location is fantastic. You can easily walk to Wangfujing for shopping, and there are barbecue restaurants nearby."

"To be objective, the location is excellent, right downstairs from Huamao and SKP, which makes shopping super convenient. The hotel's overall style definitely has that Ritz-Carlton vibe, and while many online reviews mention it being old, I found it to be perfectly fine. However, the service, or lack thereof, was truly disappointing. First, the hotel didn't contact me before check-in; I had to proactively ask for their WeChat. The lift attendant had a perpetually stern face and didn't even offer to press the elevator button. Housekeeping promised to provide an eye mask and sanitize the bathtub during turndown service but completely forgot. I visited both the restaurant and the lobby bar, and the staff were largely unreactive. Service is supposed to be the Ritz-Carlton's hallmark, so this was quite a letdown."

"This Puxuan (The PuXuan Hotel and Spa) truly deserves a perfect five-star review! I came for a weekend staycation, and the experience far exceeded my expectations. 📍 The location is absolutely fantastic, right at the northern end of Wangfujing Street, directly opposite the National Art Museum of China. It's very convenient to walk to Nanluoguxiang and Jingshan Park, offering a peaceful retreat amidst the hustle and bustle. 🏨 The hotel itself is like a work of art, with understated yet luxurious lighting design. Both the public spaces and guest rooms exude a serene ambiance. I specifically mentioned wanting a good rest this time, and the check-in process was incredibly smooth. The service was just right – always responsive but never intrusive. 🛏️ The bedding was so comfortable, I slept soundly through the night and woke up naturally. The bathroom was an even bigger surprise – it was my first time using a full set of Guerlain toiletries! That high-end, healing herbal floral scent filled the entire bathroom with a delicate aroma after showering. I'd come back again just for that! 🍽️ Breakfast at the Left Bank restaurant is a semi-buffet with à la carte options. All the Western-style omelets were perfectly cooked, and the Chinese set meals, with their comforting noodles and congee, were heartwarming. In the evening, a stroll around the hotel or a drink at the lobby bar was incredibly relaxing. In short, if you're looking for a convenient, tranquil, and meticulously detailed weekend staycation in Beijing, The PuXuan is definitely worth it. I've already recommended it to friends and will definitely be back!"
