Best Hotels in Beijing (2026)

Where you stay in Beijing shapes your trip. Wangfujing and the area east of the Forbidden City are the most convenient for sightseeing: The Peninsula Beijing on Goldfish Lane is an all-suite five-star hotel, and Novotel Beijing Peace on Jinyu Hutong offers mid-range rooms with a pool about 1.5 kilometres from the Forbidden City. Qianmen, just south of Tiananmen Square, combines heritage with good value and luxury alike, from the design-led MUJI Hotel, about 450 metres from the square, to Mandarin Oriental Qianmen, spread across 42 courtyard houses.

For a more personal stay in the hutongs, Heyuan occupies a Ming-era three-courtyard house on Dengcao Hutong where Mei Lanfang once lived, and Dasein Youlan is a converted 1970s factory on Bensi Hutong with a private bath in every room. Chaoyang, in the east, is the city's business district and suits travellers who want modern luxury and nightlife; Rosewood Beijing has seven restaurants and an 830-square-metre pool, and the Four Seasons has an indoor pool, a spa and Michelin-recognised restaurants. Book early for the Golden Week and Spring Festival holidays.
