Four Seasons Hotel Beijing rises 27 floors on Liang Ma Qiao Road in Chaoyang district, in the Yansha area near the Third Embassy Precinct. It offers residential-style rooms and suites, with views over the city, the Solana mall and Sunrise Park from some rooms, and over the Liangma River or Chaoyang Park from some suites.
Room types range from city-view Deluxe Rooms to the Ambassador Suite, which covers 73 square metres and is found on floors 8 to 26, and the three-bedroom Imperial Suite, which takes up the entire 27th floor. The Executive Club Lounge on the 26th floor provides meeting rooms and daily refreshments.
The hotel's restaurants are a draw for non-residents too. Mio serves Italian food from two open kitchens and a pizza oven and is recognised by the Michelin Guide. Cai Yi Xuan, a Cantonese restaurant that held a Michelin star in the 2025 guide, offers a Peking duck set menu. There is also a Tea Garden. A central atrium decorated with 384 stainless-steel butterflies is one of the building's signature features, and there is a rooftop garden.
For relaxation, the hotel has a naturally lit indoor swimming pool with city views and a spa with personalised treatments and a massage pool. The fitness centre has cardio and strength equipment.
The hotel arranges experiences for families and couples, including Great Wall excursions and hutong rickshaw rides, which is useful for visitors who want the sights organised for them. The Chaoyang location suits business travellers and those who want to be close to the embassy district and the Liangma River. The Forbidden City and the old city are a taxi or metro ride away.
It suits families who want space and a pool, business travellers and couples on a special trip. Book directly with the hotel by phone on +86 10 5695 8888 for packages and restaurant reservations.
Xin Rong Ji's three-Michelin-star flagship on Xinyuan South Road is also in Chaoyang, which makes the hotel a convenient base for a special dinner, and the Jing-A taproom in Wangjing and the 798 Art Zone are elsewhere in the same district.
