Where to Stay in Beijing

intro_prefix Beijingintro_suffix

Where you stay in Beijing determines what you wake up to — and in a food city like this, that matters. The main areas to consider are Wangfujing / Forbidden City area, Nanluoguxiang Hutong and Sanlitun / Taikoo Li. I've personally stayed at or visited every place listed below.

Novotel Beijing Peace

Reliable mid-range option steps from Wangfujing shopping street and a short walk from the Forbidden City.

Wangfujing / Forbidden City area¥600–900/nightcouples, solo, families

A beautifully restored courtyard hostel in the heart of the hutong district. Private rooms available.

Nanluoguxiang Hutong¥150–400/nightsolo, budget

What Travelers Say About Beijing

“

Peng planned our entire two-week honeymoon across China. She found us a guide in Xi'an who brought the Terracotta Warriors to life in a way I'll never forget. Every detail was handled — train tickets, restaurant reservations, even a bouquet waiting at our hotel in Shanghai.

My 72-year-old mother came with us to China and Peng made sure every step was comfortable. She picked hotels with elevators, planned rest breaks between attractions, and even found a clinic when Mom needed her blood pressure checked. Worth every penny.
