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! 😃"

"A really great experience! The spa pool changing rooms are fully equipped with a dry sauna, steam room, and multi-function showers. The desserts provided in the room were delicious and not too sweet, which was a nice touch. I had requested a mattress change in advance, and there were various pillow options available, with silk duvets also provided. The toiletries were excellent; I even took a few extra sets when I left. Enjoy a complimentary one-time refill of soft drinks and beer from the minibar during your stay: They even refilled it the next morning, which was a pleasant surprise. 24-hour breakfast: This is subjective; while the service is 24/7, the food isn't particularly amazing. The service was also very warm and welcoming. Overall, it's definitely worth experiencing!"

"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!"

"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 💫"

"Overall, it's pretty good. The scenery is nice, and it's quiet and private – a great place to relax. However, there are a few downsides: 1. There's no desk in the room for working, and the power outlets are far away with no extension cord. 2. I wanted to switch rooms, but the butler took a very long time to confirm and disappeared for a while, causing me to miss the sunset (such a shame!). 3. For breakfast, there was only one server who seemed overwhelmed. The breakfast itself wasn't great; the salmon ran out and wasn't refilled. 4. I asked a staff member to make coffee, but it just came out as plain hot water, which was a bit frustrating. 5. The minibar has noticeably shrunk compared to before, with just a few Cokes and Sprites, which is a bit disappointing. I guess the hotel might be struggling financially."

"Overall, I'm very satisfied and give it full marks. I'll definitely come again next time. I thought the room facilities might be a bit old, given that the hotel has been open for many years, but to my surprise, they were very well-maintained. The stay experience was comfortable, and it felt like the renovation was only about five years ago. A great experience. In terms of service, the front desk was very helpful. Lin Yunbei assisted with a room change on the day, and I found a satisfactory room. Ms. Xiao also provided assistance. The other housekeeping and spa services were also good. Regarding the food, the Rosewood offerings are limited in variety but exquisite, like 'less is more.' If you stay for three to five days, you probably won't get tired of it. The overall quality and experience are also good. I also bumped into a sports celebrity, which was quite a pleasant surprise, haha!"

"The InterContinental Hotel boasts excellent smart amenities and comfortable bedding that truly helps to alleviate travel fatigue from business trips. The front desk staff, especially Aria and Dale from Guest Relations, are highly efficient with check-ins and check-outs, and the concierge is very helpful with travel arrangements. The executive lounge is perfect for small meetings, and the breakfast offers a good selection of drinks and light meals. The gym and pool are great for unwinding between work commitments. The service is professional and discreet, never intrusive, and the facilities are well-maintained. It's a consistently top choice for business travelers, highly recommended."

"Five-star review! The Peninsula Beijing's service is impeccable, and a special shout-out to butler ALEN! He was incredibly patient during check-in, explaining all the room amenities, and was super responsive. The room was spacious and comfortable with excellent smart facilities. From check-in to check-out, the service was thoughtful and attentive, striking the perfect balance. The location is superb, within walking distance to Wangfujing and the Forbidden City, making travel incredibly convenient. ALEN's meticulous and warm service truly made the entire trip incredibly enjoyable. I'll definitely ask for him again on my next stay!"

"I stayed for two nights at the Ritz-Carlton Beijing, Hualian. Its location is incredibly convenient, with subway lines 1 and 14 just a 5-minute walk from the hotel. Surrounded by shopping malls, it's perfect for shopping and dining. The hotel quality is exceptional; the facilities and furniture exude a classic, old-money charm. Both hygiene and service are standard five-star quality. The front desk staff was warm and thorough during check-in, and the room service was excellent. The breakfast was plentiful and delicious. I'm very satisfied."

"## A Secluded Beijing Escape Immersed in Oriental Aesthetics – A Two-Day Stay at The PuXuan Hotel and Spa Nestled at the intersection of Wangfujing and Wusi Avenues, The PuXuan Hotel and Spa stands as a 'floating glass box' atop the Guardian Art Center. Designed by German architect Ole Scheeren, its exterior features grey basalt, echoing the textures of old Beijing's hutongs. The transparent glass brick walls above subtly evoke the landscape imagery of the *Dwelling in the Fuchun Mountains* painting, shifting with the light and shadows. Without a grand marquee, it speaks to the city with minimalist geometric language, so discreet you might almost miss it, yet so stately it leaves an unforgettable impression. Stepping into the hotel, an elevator ride to the fourth-floor lobby reveals an expansive, breathtaking space. The high ceilings exude grandeur, while natural wood, terrazzo, and stone interweave to create a warm, refined ambiance. A central water garden in the lobby, complemented by swaying bamboo, forms a picturesque scene. Paintings by Qiu Deshu and handcrafted furniture from Hermès' 'Shang Xia' brand are thoughtfully placed throughout. There are no extravagant crystal chandeliers; instead, warm lighting and a pervasive tea aroma create a sophisticated atmosphere that's understated yet meticulously considered. However, the hotel's true enchantment lies in its Sky Garden. Walking into the fifth-floor garden, one is instantly transported from bustling Beijing to a spring day in a Jiangnan water town. Hidden by bamboo and lush greenery, it offers a serene escape from the city's noise. Casually sitting, you can gaze upon the tranquil silhouette of Wanchun Pavilion in Jingshan Park. As light filters through the bamboo and leaves rustle in the breeze, you truly grasp the essence of 'great reclusion within the city.' Though my two-day stay was brief, it was enough to fully immerse myself in this understated and refined celebration of Eastern aesthetics. The PuXuan isn't a hotel that immediately dazzles; it's more like aged Pu-erh tea – the more you experience it, the deeper its flavor. It infuses Chinese aesthetics into every corner, and beneath its restrained luxury lies a profound understanding of Beijing's heritage and contemporary life. If you're seeking a place to truly find tranquility in the heart of the bustling city, The PuXuan is your answer."
