Peninsula Beijing

Upgraded to an all-suite hotel in 2016, the long-established Peninsula offers a near-perfect blend of upscale comfort and centrality.

All that space, superior service and amenities don’t come cheap, but if the price is within your range this is one of Beijing’s safest hotel bets.

The prime Wangfujing location, close to the major central sights, is perfect if you’re coming for sightseeing.

Among the hotel’s standout features are a rooftop bar (summer only) and Huang Ting Cantonese restaurant, designed to replicate an ancient Beijing courtyard home.
