Romantic Hotels in Beijing

This hotel, part of the Gulf Hotel Group, stands out as a high-end property, primarily known for its hot springs. Beyond that, it boasts an impressive array of amenities including a family-friendly kids' paradise, hiking trails, a space-themed sports complex, and a wellness center offering treatments like sound bowl therapy, head meditation, and full-body essential oil massages. Our butler, Luna Zhang, provided exceptionally warm and thoughtful service. She helped us set up the family beds and surprised us with fruit and ice cream, which delighted the children. For those interested in hiking, the room key cards conveniently include a hiking map. The 5-kilometer mountain trail with its 'Eight Planets' viewing platforms is perfect for a family-friendly climb, offering great photo opportunities at each stop.

I had a memorable trip! Before I even left, Ben Lin, the hotel manager, called me to explain the whole process, including parking, shuttle bus location, and luggage check-in. He even added me on WeChat and sent me their official account. I already felt the service was great. Just before leaving, I twisted my ankle. It wasn't serious enough to affect my driving, so I still drove for over two hours to get there. When I got out of the car, I realized I couldn't walk. I limped through check-in, and Ben Lin was there to greet us. He brought me Yunnan Baiyao (a traditional Chinese medicine for injuries) and even got a wheelchair to push me to my room. Along the way, he told me about the facilities and my itinerary, saying I could call him for anything, and he'd help if he could. It was really heartwarming. He didn't even ask for a deposit for the wheelchair, and I even took it out (though I barely used it; I still ended up limping everywhere because the stone paths were impossible with a wheelchair, haha!). Even with a twisted ankle, it was still a pleasant trip!

On the morning of our check-in, the hotel called to inform us that due to the typhoon, they were being used as a temporary shelter, so our booking was moved to a Deluxe Family Room at Gubei Zhiguang. The room at Gubei Zhiguang was a bit smaller and the facilities felt a bit dated, but the breakfast was good, which somewhat made up for it. What I found unacceptable was the 25 CNY charge for the hotel parking. Of course, this isn't the hotel's fault, but rather an issue with the overall scenic area management. By the way, a shoutout to the Chinese restaurant opposite Gubei Zhiguang – it was excellent.

Finally checked into Yanqi Hotel, nestled on the Yanqi Peninsula. The views of the lake and mountains right outside the window, coupled with the tranquil and healing Chinese garden scenery, make it an excellent choice for a relaxing getaway in the Beijing suburbs. The hotel's facilities and breakfast quality were also top-notch. What truly stood out was the staff member Shirley. Her service was attentive and thoughtful throughout our stay. She proactively introduced us to the park's touring routes and promptly helped us coordinate and resolve various needs during our check-in. Her professional and appropriate approach, with just the right amount of care, never made us feel constrained. It's this kind of warm and considerate service that made our trip exceptionally comfortable. A sincere thank you to Shirley; we'll definitely be back.

True to the Kempinski style, the hotel is well-equipped. The staff at the playground were very attentive and kind, and the children absolutely loved it, insisting on giving it a five-star rating. The front desk staff were incredibly helpful during check-in, and when they learned that my child needed a nap on the day of their competition, they kindly extended our check-out time. The hotel's surroundings are excellent, making it a perfect spot for a relaxing getaway. We will definitely stay here again on our next visit.

The rooms are clean and tidy, and come with a balcony. When checking in, you need to register your vehicle to park in the underground parking lot 🅿️, otherwise, you might be charged a parking fee. We had three king-size rooms, and 1119 had the best view, overlooking the lake from the balcony, with a beautiful sunrise in the morning. The room directly opposite could see the golf course behind, which was great for sunset views. The bathroom and bathtub are in separate spaces opposite each other, designed with two sinks for simultaneous use. The front desk is on the second floor, and the connecting corridor to the hot spring ♨️ is also on the same floor, though it's a bit of a walk. The buffet restaurant is on the first floor. Complimentary fruit was provided in the room.

After booking the hotel, I saw a lot of negative reviews, which made me quite nervous. However, I found it to be pretty good in reality. The environment is beautiful and the air is pleasant, perfect for a relaxing 'lie-flat' vacation, so I ended up staying for three nights. As a five-star hotel, the hardware facilities, room layout, and spatial design are all top-notch. The accompanying gym and pool are also excellent. The gym has water and towels, and a good range of equipment, so I'd give it a five-star rating. The main complaint about breakfast seems to be the small restaurant, but I personally felt the food variety met expectations. The live cooking stations for noodles and wontons were quite tasty, and there were also specialty 'huoshao'. The omelet chef was very friendly, and there were several coffee machines, both capsule and regular. The hot dishes were indeed limited, only three or four, which is a clear drawback. Also, the small cakes common in other five-star hotels were missing. I'd give it a four-star rating, but it's certainly not bad. The Chinese restaurant, however, offers poor value for money. It's expensive with limited variety, many dishes didn't inspire me to order, and the taste was just average. Overall, the dining is a relative weakness. The Jing A beer at the lobby bar wasn't expensive, though. There are many takeaway options, but the robot delivery was a bit slow. The housekeeping staff were very diligent, providing plenty of water and amenities. I was just a little surprised that after excitedly bringing my own tea, there were no tea sets. It was also a bit inconvenient that there were no toiletries by the bathtub. The front desk staff were also fine. The World Horticultural Exposition is right outside, and the complimentary hot spring tickets made it an excellent value. I hope they continue to operate well, and I would stay here again if I have the chance. Oh, and the entrance and exit to the underground parking lot are a bit small, so be careful when passing other cars.

The resort environment was very comfortable, and the kids absolutely loved participating in all the activities, having a great time. The atmosphere at night was quite lively too. Vera provided excellent service, and overall, I was very satisfied – a full five-star recommendation! What I loved most was that all the activities were included. Whether for adults or kids, indoors or outdoors, there were rackets provided by the hotel for basketball, table tennis, billiards, football, archery, and golf. The water park was quite large; the depth was perfect for children to swim, though a bit shallow for adults. Plus, all the craft activities, performances, flying trapeze, and aerobics were really fun! Dinner was the most abundant meal, with various international cuisines. The sashimi, BBQ, and salads were all delicious. The dessert bar was the most amazing part – truly five-star standard! My daughter even said the roasted lamb chops were incredibly tasty. 😋 We stayed in the Shaun the Sheep room, which was decorated so cutely. My child said she wants to come back again next time! The most comfortable aspect, actually, was the beautiful environment of the Songshan scenic area. It's a natural oxygen bar, bringing you close to nature; you can see and smell the natural aroma. There were also about a dozen adorable little cats! 😍 We plan to try out Club Meds in other cities and countries next time!

A truly satisfying stay! The hotel's overall decor is simple yet grand, and the public areas are clean and bright, making you feel comfortable the moment you walk in. The room has excellent natural light, a reasonable layout, and no strange odors. The bed is just the right firmness, and the pillows are very comfortable. The bathroom was spotless, and the towels and bath towels were clean and odor-free. The soundproofing was good, so we had a quiet night's rest. The staff were gentle and polite, making the check-in to check-out process very smooth. Every detail was perfect, ensuring a relaxing and comfortable stay. Highly recommend!

This place has everything you could want nearby: food, drinks, entertainment, and shopping. It's really close to the subway station, and bus access is pretty convenient too. It looks like a regular hotel, but it's actually more like a hostel. The staff are enthusiastic and friendly, and there are a lot of international guests. I stayed here for a few days, and they even have washing machines and dryers available. Definitely my top choice for my next trip to Beijing!
