Top 10 Luxury and Boutique Hotels
-
1. China World Hotel
The most luxurious hotel in Beijing, and often the choice of visiting heads of state. It’s in the heart of the Central Business District (CBD), above a swish shopping mall and it has arguably the best restaurant in town in Aria.
-
2. Commune at the Great Wall
Eleven modern villas by 11 Asian architects dot a green valley within sight of the Great Wall. Facilities include DVD players, an indoor pool, and a private cinema. Managed by Kempinski.
-
3. Grand Hyatt Beijing
Above the Oriental Plaza mall on Wangfujing, no other luxury hotel is better located; few are as well equipped. Restaurants here are among the city’s finest and the pool is a knock-out.
-
4. Kerry Center Hotel
The youngest of Shangri-La’s Beijing stable combines the group’s high service standards with bright, modern room design. The Kerry is also home to the city’s hottest cocktail bar and extensive health facilities.
-
5. Peninsula Palace Hotel
Luxurious and recently renovated rooms have large plasma TVs; marble bathrooms also have a small screen. Two terrific restaurants (Huang Ting and Jing), a luxury mall, excellent service, and a central location, make this one of the city’s best choices.
-
6. Red Capital Residence
Beijing’s quirkiest hotel has just five rooms, each furnished with period antiques and decorated according to a different theme. You can choose from the “Chairman’s Suite” or one of the “Concubines’ Private Courtyards”.
-
7. Shangri-La Beijing
Recently renovated to a high standard, and with the addition of a brand new tower and excellent restaurants and bars. One drawback is that the hotel is out in the far west of the city, near the Summer Palace.
-
8. St. Regis Beijing
Small but beautifully decorated rooms with free access to an on-call butler. There are excellent restaurants, as well as an exclusive health club and outdoor putting green.
-
9. The Ascott Beijing
Acclaimed top-end living for international executives in the heart of the CBD, also providing 1–3 bedroom apartments. Service is exceptional and apartments are elegantly furnished and fully equipped.
-
10. Beijing Hotel
Beijing’s oldest hotel reopened in summer 2006 after a massive refit as part of the famed Raffles group. Excellent location at the bottom of Wangfujing, a short walk from Tian’an Men Square.
