Bathroom

read from 1 source · Deep coverage
  • We loved the bathroom which had a separate shower and a TV at the end of the deep tub as well as my favourite feature, the beautiful Oscar de la Renta toiletries. 1
  • And of course, there was a luxurious marble bathroom - with an enormous soaking tub - as you would come to expect from a hotel of this stature. 9

Food

  • The culinary highlight of our stay here was Huang Ting, the elegantly decorated Cantonese fine dining restaurant and tea room, depicting the ambience of a local Hutong, albeit a decadent one. The food? Sublime. And that goes for all food and beverage outlets at the Peninsula Beijing. 9
  • AtticusSPQR • 1 taon ang nakalipas We stayed at the Capital Hotel in the first ring and it was amazing. We stayed at the Capital Hotel in the first ring and it was amazing. The rooms were lovely, and the restaurants in the hotel were excellent. 2

  • Stay at Regent Beijing in Wangfujing. Luxury hotel, great service and perfect location 5
  • Great location if you like hang out in Sanlitun(The Village), which is the most trendy center in Beijing, and many great Chinese restaurants near by. 13

Room

read from 1 source · Deep coverage
  • Currently greatly enjoying our time at the MO Beijing. Hard product of the room is absolutely phenomenal, if not perfect. 13
  • As an all-suite hotel, every guest at the Peninsula hotel in Beijing receives in-room cheek in, an extremely quick, efficient and personal process that is completed in record time via a hand held tablet. 1

Service

96
read from 1 source · Deep coverage
  • Much like its London counterpart, the flawless service creates a seamless stay for guests. The staff are simultaneously quiet and discrete while being on hand and pre-empting needs to create a sense that guests are in safe hands for a relaxing stay. 16
  • We stayed at the Grand Hyatt right off of Warfunging (sp) Street. It is a block or two from the Forbidden City and on the main shopping street. If you're adventerous (which we were) there is a subway stop connected to the mall that the hotel is in. We couldn't have been more pleased with the beautiful hotel and the service. 3

Bed & Sleep

Location20 mentions
  • The Opposite House has great location in Sanlitun, but as a tourist, I imagine Sanlitun would be bit boring for you know 3 days trip, the traffic is horrible especially in weekend. 13
  • Stay at Regent Beijing in Wangfujing. Luxury hotel, great service and perfect location 5
  • 4S is very, very old, and it's not close to anything, honestly. 15
  • The Pen is close to the WA. It was renovated I think in 2017? Close to WFJ too, which is good for tourist. 13
  • Thank you all for our great stay, we recommend it to all. Favourable location, excellent restaurant. 21
  • Convenient location near Xidan commercial street 6
  • Hi, we stayed at the Harmony Hotel which is near the Beijing Railway station and the subway. MacDonalds is also close by plus an internet cafe and the post office. Very affordable. 3
  • You're a short ride/walk from the big sights, and there are plenty of shops and eateries nearby. We stayed at the Capital Hotel in the first ring and it was amazing. The rooms were lovely, and the restaurants in the hotel were excellent. 2
  • The luxury hotel offers a great locale for sightseeing. It's just a short walk to the Forbidden City's Donghuamen (East Gate). 17
  • The Peninsula Beijing is within walking distance of major sights such as Tiananmen Square and the Forbidden City and surrounded by shops and affordable western and non-western dining options. 1
  • Great location if you like hang out in Sanlitun(The Village), which is the most trendy center in Beijing, and many great Chinese restaurants near by. 13
  • I just left beijing yesterday and stayed at East Sacred hotel. Was ~$100 USD per night and was in an amazing location and very nice. Newly renovated. Right on Wafujing Street 8
  • I was at the Pen and WA this spring. The Pen is close to the WA. It was renovated I think in 2017? Close to WFJ too, which is good for tourist. Not close close but relatively compared to some of the other hotels on the list. A few blocks away from the closest metro stations so take that into consideration. Service at both places are good too for mainland standard. 13
  • Situated in the very heart of Beijing, the Peninsula is well positioned for exploring the capital with historical attractions nearby including Tiananmen Square and the National Museum of China. 16
  • Conard Beijing is bit old, not luxury, and the location is bit awkward. 13
  • I really like Park Plaza Beijing Wangfujing. It's steps from line 5 on a side street, with modern rooms, and really clean amenities. You're a short ride/walk from the big sights, and there are plenty of shops and eateries nearby. 2
  • Location is everything. Although Peninsula is not "next to" Forbidden City, but it's in the heart of Beijing downtown which means you can save a lot of travel time. 15
  • Last year we stayed at the Park Plaza Wangfujing (subway is nearby, a Starbuck is at the front door!) Personnel speak fluent English. 3
  • MO Wangfujing Beijing: Just opened, new and modern, great location, almost in the center of Beijing, I think is one of the best hotel for tourist. 13
  • Have you looked into the Conrad? The hotel isn't exactly top notch, but I really like the fact that it's on both 3rd Ring (good food), and line 6 (fast access to the northern part of downtown so you can get in and out easily). 13
Service17 mentions
  • Given how poor service can be in China, even at luxury hotels, I am very pleasantly surprised overall after 24 hours. 13
  • MO also has nice views over the Forbidden City which is unique among hotels in Beijing. 13
  • We decided on the MO given it's been open about 6 months now so hopefully a lot of the kinks have been worked out. Concierge and pre-arrival email has been fantastic, for what its worth. 13
  • Both RC is old but the service is really good, however I won't stay there if I must, and the locations are great for both hotel, especially for Financial Street RC, that is probably the only luxury hotel in West Beijing. 13
  • Favourable location, excellent restaurant. Liked the tourist area. Smooth check-in too... 21
  • The Beijing hotel has eschewed a traditional reception desk in favor of in-room tablet check-in for the ultimate convenience, 24 hours a day. 17
  • Great room and service, but the service is not really MO standard yet, certainly not the standard in SEA, may need some times. 13
  • Don't make me choose just one. The entire staff is a delight. 18
  • Stay at Regent Beijing in Wangfujing. Luxury hotel, great service and perfect location 5
  • MO's suite and common area are much prettier, but Bulgari had slightly better service (probably because MO just opened at that time). 13
  • Overall the service is good and professional, although not reaching Aman or MO level. 13
  • The Four Seasons is in a very convenient area for first-timers, service is consistently good, rooms are still very spacious by Beijing standards, and the food is arguably stronger overall. 15
  • Much like its London counterpart, the flawless service creates a seamless stay for guests. The staff are simultaneously quiet and discrete while being on hand and pre-empting needs to create a sense that guests are in safe hands for a relaxing stay. 16
  • The Renaissance Beijing Wangfujing Hotel is a great choice; it has nice rooms and it is right in the middle of everything. 2
  • Outstanding service from staff members like Daria and Iris 6
  • We stayed at the Grand Hyatt right off of Warfunging (sp) Street. It is a block or two from the Forbidden City and on the main shopping street. If you're adventerous (which we were) there is a subway stop connected to the mall that the hotel is in. We couldn't have been more pleased with the beautiful hotel and the service. 3
  • A charming guest relations manager armed with a tablet walked us through the grand, imposing marble lobby of The Peninsula Beijing, past a sweeping, picturesque staircase that has graced many a wedding magazine cover. 9
Room14 mentions
  • Great design, but the room maintenance is not good, my room's celling light was flashing and I changed the room, still, but not really bothering if you don't pay attention. 13
  • The unique duplex loft rooms have the biggest windows with excellent views and an upstairs master bedroom. 17
  • Four Seasons Beijing, room is dated, and not great for tourist. 13
  • As an all-suite hotel, every guest at the Peninsula hotel in Beijing receives in-room cheek in, an extremely quick, efficient and personal process that is completed in record time via a hand held tablet. 1
  • There are contemporary ones too, like the tall bronze sculptures by Chinese artist Zhang Du, part of a collection of artwork including paintings and photography, commissioned through the city's Museum of Contemporary Art. Our duplex suite set over two floors was sprawling. 9
  • We loved the decor - serene mother-of-pearl white and greys, cerulean soft furnishings and intricate calligraphic art - that made up our comfortable living and sleeping space. 9
  • Overall, this hotel room was one of the most spacious 'standard rooms' we have stayed in. 1
  • I stayed in MO in late Aug, there was some new furnishing smell in the room, I guess they probably still have some now, but I am just guessing. 13
  • Decor was inspired by luxury private yachts, so expect lots of light and airiness, furniture that kind of blends into the mix, and muted gray tones with aquamarine accents. 18
  • MO's suite and common area are much prettier, but Bulgari had slightly better service (probably because MO just opened at that time). 13
  • Awesome and good sized hotel. We really enjoyed the convenience of the deluxe king room, as well as air conditioner, a mini bar and a coffeemaker etc. 21
  • Great room and service, but the service is not really MO standard yet, certainly not the standard in SEA, may need some times. 13
  • Rooms are refined and elegant with sophisticated decor, huge beds and TV screens tastefully hidden away. 16
  • Currently greatly enjoying our time at the MO Beijing. Hard product of the room is absolutely phenomenal, if not perfect. 13
Bed & Sleep1 mention
  • Beds are oversized and cloud-like, with comforters and pillows that look impossibly puffy and guarantee you sleep uninterrupted. 18

  • In Beijing, I stayed with this Chinese chain called Hanting (汉庭酒店) and it was about ~400 RMB a night (about $57 USD.) It was super clean, beds were comfy, checking in and out were smooth, and the breakfast (bao & congee, etc) was pretty decent (it was another 30 RMB for a breakfast ticket.) 8
  • Jing Restaurant has an international flavour and is the hotel's main breakfast venue with some of the best croissants you will find outside Paris. 1
  • Hong Kong chef Bryan Lee is an expert hand at sweet dim sum treats, which can be enjoyed with more than 50 varieties of Chinese tea at Huang Ting. 17
  • For business this hotel is good and the review for this hotel is good in our forum, the food is great in the hotel. 13
  • The culinary highlight of our stay here was Huang Ting, the elegantly decorated Cantonese fine dining restaurant and tea room, depicting the ambience of a local Hutong, albeit a decadent one. The food? Sublime. And that goes for all food and beverage outlets at the Peninsula Beijing. 9
  • The rooms were lovely, and the restaurants in the hotel were excellent. 2
  • Buffet quality was good, but menu avocado toast was less than subpar. 13
  • Bvlgari Beijing is not that good, this is totally my personally opinion, I just don't like it, all Bvlgari are same, and this hotel has no Chinese restaurant which is bit lack of option as a luxury hotel in Beijing. 13
  • Jing serves up contemporary French fare for breakfast, lunch and dinner in a stylish dining room designed to resemble a mystical Chinese garden. 17
  • The Four Seasons is in a very convenient area for first-timers, service is consistently good, rooms are still very spacious by Beijing standards, and the food is arguably stronger overall. 15
  • I received the credit as well as that is the benefits of the opening offer, but the food is upper-average, not fantastic. 13
  • In terms of subway communication, it directly connects to many subway line and the station just under the hotel. Just renovated. Fantastic View and breakfast. 13
  • Novotel Peace, 3 stars but its like 4 stars. Very good ubicacion, clean, good restaurants next door and we have been very happy. 3
  • Thank you all for our great stay, we recommend it to all. Favourable location, excellent restaurant. 21
  • Breakfast this morning was a semi-buffet + a la carte, but both were a bit limited in selection. 13
Value6 mentions
  • Peninsula is nice and Grand Hyatt is even nicer but both are expensive. 3
  • The restaurants of the hotel are all great, very authentic and flavorful, and the price is not that expensive. 13
  • The Peninsula is beautiful and probably has the more "classic luxury" feel with larger rooms, but unless you specifically value being closer to Wangfujing/Forbidden City for morning walks, I don't think it's worth switching for a first trip. 15
  • MO also has nice views over the Forbidden City which is unique among hotels in Beijing. However, MO can be much more expensive. 13
  • Citigo tiananmen, best location and price 2
  • We couldn't have been more pleased with the beautiful hotel and the service. We're booked at the Days Inn Forbidden City. The price was really good (about $60/night), and there were alot of good reviews (also some not so good). 3
Bathroom3 mentions
  • And of course, there was a luxurious marble bathroom - with an enormous soaking tub - as you would come to expect from a hotel of this stature. 9
  • We loved the bathroom which had a separate shower and a TV at the end of the deep tub as well as my favourite feature, the beautiful Oscar de la Renta toiletries. 1
  • The marble-clad bathrooms feature luxurious soaking tubs with separate showers, inset 19-inch televisions, hands-free phones and custom Oscar de la Renta bath products. 17
