My first time staying at such a high-end hotel, it’s absolutely amazing!!

Top Luxury Hotel in Beijing | Waldorf Astoria Beijing, a perfect blend of luxury and ancient charm

Traveling to Beijing and want to stay in the city center while enjoying comfort and luxury? Then you definitely can’t miss the Waldorf Astoria Beijing! This stay truly won my heart, and I’m sharing it with you all👇

📍Location
Located in Jin Yu Hutong, Wangfujing, it’s truly the heart of Beijing! A 10-minute walk to the East Gate of the Forbidden City, and very close to Tiananmen Square and Wangfujing Pedestrian Street 🚶‍♂️ The Dengshikou Station on Metro Line 5 is nearby, making travel super convenient. It’s about a 15-minute taxi ride to Guomao and Sanlitun, so getting around is easy.

🏘️Hotel Environment
The hotel perfectly blends old Beijing charm with modern luxury. The moment you enter the lobby, the stunning crystal chandeliers and exquisite decorations catch your eye, instantly transporting you to a luxurious palace. The rooms are delicately and warmly decorated, with super soft and comfortable beds, high-quality facilities, and excellent soundproofing for a peaceful sleep. The public areas also feature rotating themed art installations, perfect for photos!

✨Nearby Attractions
The Forbidden City is a must-visit to experience the grandeur of ancient royalty; watch the flag-raising ceremony at Tiananmen Square for a solemn and majestic experience; shop and enjoy delicious food at Wangfujing Pedestrian Street; nearby is also the National Art Museum of China, enriching your artistic senses. Every spot is filled with the unique charm of Beijing.

🍽️Special Flavors
The fruitwood-roasted duck at Zijin Pavilion Chinese Restaurant is absolutely top-notch, crispy skin and tender meat, ranking in Beijing’s top 3! The old Beijing zhajiangmian (fried sauce noodles) served in the room is also very authentic, with chewy noodles and rich meat sauce, incredibly satisfying with every bite, totally winning over your taste buds~

💰Average Cost
The price is a bit on the higher side, with standard rooms around 1500 - 3000 RMB per night, and suites even more expensive. But the service, environment, and location are worth every penny. Booking during promotions can be much more cost-effective. If you’re after high-quality accommodation, don’t hesitate.

🎈Other Tips
When booking through Trip.com, note “Forbidden City view” for a chance to get a free room upgrade! Weekend brunch is very popular, so remember to book 3 days in advance. The limited black truffle scrambled eggs are a must-try; the hotel’s car-hailing service is faster than ride-hailing apps during peak hours, making travel more worry-free 🚗
