5-Star Hotels in Beijing

Universal Studios: Excellent Value for Money! 📍Location: Just a 15-minute drive from Universal Studios. There's a shuttle service in the mornings, or a taxi ride costs just the minimum fare. 🏨Rooms: The hotel boasts a strong design aesthetic, and the rooms are spacious. I was staying for my birthday, and unfortunately, a room upgrade wasn't possible, nor was complimentary breakfast offered, which was a slight disappointment. 🍽Dining: The hotel is connected to Wanli Mall, offering a wide array of dining options. You can also contact the front desk to have food deliveries brought up to your room, which is a convenient amenity. ✨Overall Impression: Highly recommended for a Universal Studios trip! It's unbeatable value for money; the money you save can be used for Express Pass or VIP access, which is a great deal. Even if you're not going to Universal, it's a very comfortable place for a staycation. The rooftop bar has a fantastic atmosphere, perfect for a relaxing drink in your free time. I hope the hotel maintains its current excellent amenities. I'll definitely choose this place again for my next Universal trip.

As a star-rated hotel, it exudes a strong sense of luxury and offers a superb experience. The location deserves a special shoutout—it's super convenient to get anywhere. Metro Lines 1 and 5 are within walking distance, making getting around an absolute breeze. Turn left and walk 100 meters out the front doors, and you’ll find a shopping mall with an overwhelming variety of shopping and dining options, easily satisfying all your cravings for food and retail therapy. The room was an even bigger pleasant surprise—exceptionally spacious, bright, and with unbeatable natural light. The floor-to-ceiling windows, in particular, offer stellar views, making it so relaxing to just lie back and take in the scenery. The amenities are comprehensive, and the pillows and mattress scored a full 10/10 for comfort. I slept like a baby all the way through till morning, and it was top-notch for relieving fatigue. Breakfast is also worth mentioning, featuring a rich variety of both Chinese and Western options. With so much to choose from, every morning started with a very satisfying meal. The staff were warm and polite throughout our stay, always putting the guests first with attentive, thoughtful service. They definitely deserve a huge thumbs-up! We had such a wonderful stay these past few days and will definitely choose to stay here again next time!

The reception staff are friendly and helpful, especially Cecilia, who went out of her way to make our stay more comfortable. Smooth check-in and excellent service. A special thank you to the lady responsible for cleaning our room. She does a fantastic job and genuinely deserves the highest praise for her care and attention to detail. However, I think it’s important to mention a couple of issues. Renovation work was taking place on our floor, and when we arrived, the corridor had construction materials, protective coverings and debris scattered around. It wasn’t exactly the welcome you would expect from a hotel of this standard. Another issue was the noise outside our windows between midnight and 3 AM, apparently caused by materials being loaded into trucks. Unfortunately, this disturbed our sleep. Despite these temporary inconveniences, I genuinely think this is a very good hotel with excellent staff. I believe the renovation-related issues will be resolved once the work is completed. That’s why I’m happy to give the hotel the highest rating, looking beyond the current disruptions and appreciating the overall quality of the hotel and the people who work here. Special thanks again to Cecilia and the wonderful housekeeping lady!

Came here for a little anniversary surprise ~ Decided to stay at Mandarin Oriental Wangfujing,Beijing, and as expected, there were delightful surprises at every turn with absolutely nothing to fault. From the front desk to the guest rooms, bar, and restaurants, every single staff member we encountered was warm, friendly, and professional. The room was warmly decorated for the occasion, and we were gifted a delicious cake and a bottle of red wine. The quality of the bedding and amenities was top-notch, featuring two sets each of pure cotton bathrobes and silk nightgowns, truly reflecting exceptional quality. In the evening, out on the west-facing bar terrace, we were lucky enough to catch a breathtaking sunset. Tiananmen Square, the Forbidden City, Jingshan Park, the White Pagoda Temple... bathed in the setting sun, it was stunningly beautiful, like a dream. Dinner at the hotel's grill restaurant was also noteworthy. Special thanks to Cici, Mandy, and Vivi for their high-level service, which made this celebratory dinner even more memorable. The steak, grilled lobster, roasted eggplant, and sweet potatoes... everything was of superb quality. Paired with a bottle of Calon Segur red wine, it was a wonderful evening. A few minor suggestions: 1) The water in the indoor pool is a bit too cool, especially when compared to the heated loungers nearby. 2) The fitness center is too small. 3) The west-facing bar terrace and the grill's outdoor terrace are the hotel's most distinctive vantage points, yet the night lighting is rather plain and simplistic. It could definitely use a redesign and upgrade. It would be perfect to add features commonly seen in many overseas hotels and resorts, such as patio heaters or electric fire pits among the seating. This would not only maximize the ambiance but also keep guests warm during chilly Beijing nights.

I chose to stay at the Cordis, Beijing Capital Airport for a layover, and the entire experience was top-notch—an absolute stellar choice for transit passengers! What gave me the most peace of mind was the hotel's complimentary airport shuttle. It reaches the terminal in just a few minutes, so whether you're catching an early flight or arriving late at night, there's no rushing anxiety, saving you from the exhaustion of dragging luggage over long distances. The guest room was spacious, bright, and impeccably clean, with every corner neatly tidied up. The signature Sweet Dreams bed was soft and comfortable, and the combination of pillows and mattress helped me relax in no time. The room's soundproofing exceeded expectations; I heard virtually no outside noise while resting, allowing me to recharge fully before my next flight. The room amenities were complete and thoughtfully laid out, making everything very convenient to use. Crystal at the front desk was professional and welcoming. Check-in and check-out were swift and efficient, and the staff patiently answered all my questions with smooth communication and attentive service. The all-day dining restaurant offered a quiet, elegant environment with a rich variety of Chinese and Western dishes that tasted great, making it easy to sort out all three meals. As a Langham hospitality brand, the hotel exudes an upscale and sophisticated vibe. You can feel the brand's quality in everything from the hardware to the service details. There were zero unpleasant surprises throughout the stay, making it ideal whether you're traveling solo or transiting with companions. I will definitely choose the Cordis again the next time I have a layover in Beijing, and I sincerely recommend it to all transit travelers! I highly recommend the Cordis, Beijing Capital Airport—the ultimate choice for layovers! The free shuttle service to and from the terminals offers unmatched convenience, which is a huge plus for travelers catching flights. The rooms are clean, tidy, and spacious with comfortable bedding, ensuring a great night's sleep. The soundproofing is excellent, allowing you to rest easy. The front desk service is attentive and professional, check-in and check-out are fast, and the staff are friendly and prompt in handling any requests. The restaurant environment is quiet, with a rich selection of tasty dishes. The hotel's overall quality is solid, the environment is quiet and comfortable, and the service shows meticulous care everywhere. If you're traveling with lots of luggage and pushed for time, you simply can't go wrong choosing this place!

Pretty good! The shower and everything else were great. It's very close to Universal Studios with plenty of good food delivery options nearby. The hotel bedding is quite comfortable, and most importantly, it's very clean with fantastic water pressure in the shower. All in all, a wonderful stay. I'd probably consider staying here again next time I visit Universal.

Ascott has always been one of my favorite brands, and this location is also very good. The room is spacious and well-equipped. Although food deliveries can't be brought up to the room, a robot will deliver them from the first floor. I stayed for two days, and overall it was fine, but there are two things I hope you can improve: 1. The hotel's swimming pool is on the basement level, and it seems to be operated by a third party. Both swimming lanes and the children's pool were being used for training. Only two lanes were left for swimming, and the water depth isn't very friendly for hotel guests with children. 2. Check-out time is 2 PM. The hotel called me a little before 1 PM to confirm my departure time, and I said around 1:15-1:20 PM. However, at 1:07 PM, my door was opened directly. That was a very bad experience!

Before booking, I read through the online reviews carefully, paying special attention to the negative ones. Since the room rates were a bit on the pricier side, I hesitated for a bit, but in the end, I decided to give it a shot and went with CHAO Sanlitun. At check-in, we were thrilled to find out our studio had been upgraded to a junior suite—my daughter and I couldn't have been happier! 🌹 Both my daughter and I loved the hotel's style; it has such a fantastic artistic vibe. I ran out of storage on my phone and deleted the original photos, so I had to use the collage I posted on WeChat Moments instead. The semi-buffet breakfast was also right up our alley. The made-to-order dishes were both hygienic and delicious. The location is unbeatable—close to the Workers' Stadium subway station, with countless great food options all around. Highly recommended!

The room was bigger than I expected and clean. The only thing was that the air conditioning couldn't be adjusted individually, and it only had cold air given the current weather. We found it a bit too cold. We informed the front desk, and they responded quickly, offering a heater. Their service was excellent. However, food delivery services don't deliver to the room; takeaways are left in the lobby on the first floor, so you have to pick them up yourself. Overall, it's great value for money.

Facilities: A bit old, but very complete. For example, the TV connection is super convenient, and the details are well-thought-out. Environment: It's carved out of a mountainside, and pretty well-maintained, though a bit out of the way. Service: Quite good, the butler's reminders were spot on (Suna). The restaurant food was just average; the all-inclusive package didn't feel worth it. You could explore the surroundings instead. Other areas are mostly geared towards families with children. The adult gym, for instance, didn't even have towels or water, which needs attention. Overall: Highly recommend if you're traveling with kids, no issues there. The buffet, however, was just average.
