Grand Hyatt Beijing (Oriental Plaza, No. 1 Chang'an Street, Dongcheng District, 100738)

Please🥹, stayed in a luxurious secret spot right next to Chang'an Street in Beijing!!

📍 Grand Hyatt Beijing

🏙️ Prime location, super convenient travel

The hotel is located at No. 1 Chang'an Street, Oriental Plaza, Dongcheng District, right in the heart of Wangfujing’s core commercial area, truly the "heart of Beijing." A 5-minute walk takes you directly to Tiananmen Square and the Palace Museum, and Wangfujing Pedestrian Street is just around the corner, perfect for exploring old brands and tasting authentic Beijing snacks; downstairs connects to Oriental Plaza Shopping Center, solving shopping and commuting in one stop. Dongdan Station on Metro Lines 1 and 5 is nearby, making it just a few stops to Temple of Heaven, Yonghe Temple, or Olympic Park (Bird’s Nest, Water Cube), ideal for both business and leisure.

🏯 Plenty of attractions nearby

From the hotel, it’s a 10-minute walk to the Palace Museum, stepping into the royal secret realm of red walls and yellow tiles, feeling 600 years of history; crossing Tiananmen Square, the “egg shell” architecture of the National Centre for the Performing Arts and the Monument to the People’s Heroes complement each other beautifully. In the evening, stroll along Chang'an Street to see the city lights come on, fully enjoying the solemnity and prosperity of the imperial capital. Love hutong culture? A 15-minute taxi ride takes you to Nanluoguxiang, where you can browse artistic shops and try traditional Beijing snacks like lu zhu huo shao, experiencing the authentic local vibe.

🏨 Hotel design, blending ancient and modern

The hotel was created by an international team, with the lobby centered on "Oriental charm": a huge ink painting scroll hangs in the atrium, redwood furniture paired with modern lines, traditional coiled dragon carpets clashing with a bright gold leaf ceiling to create an aura of "understated luxury." Guest rooms blend Eastern and Western aesthetics, with large floor-to-ceiling windows bringing views of Chang'an Street or Oriental Plaza greenery indoors; the bathroom features a tropical rainforest-style shower, custom fragrances, and soft bathrobes, showing thoughtful care that feels like a "home away from home."

🌆 Cloud-level rooms, full of quality

I stayed in an Executive View Room, 60㎡ of space where light wood furniture and warm pendant lights create a cozy atmosphere. Standing by the floor-to-ceiling window, the corner tower of the Palace Museum and the CBD skyscrapers frame together; by day, see red walls and green trees, by night, admire thousands of city lights, a 180° view that’s a "mobile city observation deck." The room is equipped with B&O sound system, capsule coffee machine, and bedding soft as if "wrapped in clouds." The toiletries are from a high-end Italian brand, every detail screams "luxury."

🍴 A feast on the tip of the tongue in Beijing

The hotel dining is a "food map":

• Chang'an No. 1 (Michelin recommended): specializing in Beijing cuisine, fruitwood-roasted duck with crispy skin and tender meat, paired with freshly baked pancakes and hawthorn sauce, a bite full of "old Beijing sentiment";

• Yueting: Cantonese dim sum steamed to order, red rice sausage and shrimp dumplings so fresh they make your eyebrows raise;

• Oriental Bright Bar: jazz band performances every night, order a "Palace Museum Corner Tower" signature cocktail, enjoy the buzz of the city outside the window while tipsy.

🧘 Leisure facilities, healing body and mind

The tropical rainforest pool at Oasis Spa is a must-try! Heated water quality surrounded by greenery, after swimming, get a spa treatment with therapists’ techniques that "precisely relieve fatigue"; the 24-hour gym is fully equipped, running in front of floor-to-ceiling windows feels like "morning exercise by Chang'an Street." The business center offers simultaneous interpretation and private meeting rooms, even the air smells like "efficient elite."

📍 A few tips

• Want to experience the "emperor’s view"? Book a high-floor view room in advance, the night view of the Palace Museum and CBD together is definitely worth the price;

• Chang'an No. 1’s roast duck requires ordering 1 hour in advance, it’s recommended to avoid peak meal times to skip the queue.

This experience at Grand Hyatt Beijing was unforgettable! From location to service details, every aspect "meets the needs." For friends visiting the Palace Museum or doing business in Beijing, choosing this hotel is definitely the right call!
