Spa Hotels in Beijing

When people talk about the Mandarin Oriental Wangfujing, Beijing, they often label it as a 'luxury hotel in the hutongs,' a 'hidden gem along the central axis,' or a 'masterpiece of the Qianmen regeneration project.' But if we set aside these external definitions and focus purely on the stay experience, the deepest impression it left on me can be summed up in two words: sheer comfort. This comfort doesn't stem from any single specific amenity, but rather from an overall feeling. Tucked away deep within Beijing's Qianmen hutongs, stepping through the gate from the bustling streets into the courtyard felt like entering a different dimension of time. Grey bricks, dark tiles, courtyard walls, and tree shadows – all elements were distinctly Beijing, yet without any forced emphasis on being 'Beijing.' The design didn't just stop at symbolism; instead, it re-organized the hutong courtyard lifestyle, truly allowing guests to live in a modern Beijing courtyard home. Beijing in the summer is particularly suited to this place. The afternoon sun dappled through the leaves onto the courtyard, with doves perched quietly on the branches. Sitting in the courtyard, watching the clouds drift slowly between the eaves and grey walls, you suddenly understand why old Beijingers always said, 'There must be a tree in the courtyard.' The tree not only provides shade but also marks the passage of time. The wind changes, the light changes, and the tree shadows change. Many mention its 'hidden location in the hutongs,' but what's truly worth experiencing isn't just the hidden aspect, but rather that elusive relationship with Beijing's urban culture. Outside the walls are the hustle and bustle of Qianmen, while inside, the unique sense of scale characteristic of courtyard living is preserved. Looking up, you see the sky; looking down, you see tree roots and青砖 (qingzhuan - traditional grey bricks); occasionally, birdsong can be heard. These seemingly ordinary details become precious in today's city. The service also left an excellent impression. It wasn't an overly enthusiastic kind of service, but rather a sincere and well-measured attentiveness. Help was always there when needed, yet they maintained an appropriate distance when not. Many high-end hotels can achieve professionalism, but it's not easy to make guests feel genuine care, and this place truly has that ability. Near check-out, I had a chat with the duty manager, Chloe. What began as a simple conversation unexpectedly became a memorable part of this stay. She meticulously detailed the design philosophy and spatial characteristics of the hotel's 42 rooms, patiently explaining everything from the layouts of different courtyards to the subtle differences between rooms. One could feel her genuine understanding and passion for this hotel, which in turn gave me a more complete appreciation for this hidden hutong gem. My special thanks also go to Chloe for her insights and hospitality. Upon leaving, I felt that the most precious aspect of this hotel wasn't its luxury, but rather how it has preserved the ambiance of courtyard living in a rapidly changing city like Beijing. Shade from trees, grey walls, summer clouds, birdsong. These seemingly ordinary things collectively form a part of my memory of summer in Beijing. If staying at a hotel is about experiencing a space, then the Mandarin Oriental Wangfujing is more about experiencing a Beijing way of life. It may not be for everyone, but for those willing to slow down and embrace the city, beauty can be found everywhere here.

My overall experience at Mandarin Oriental Wangfujing, Beijing was outstanding. The location is superb, offering a tranquil escape amidst the bustling city. The new Chinese-style 'Wangfu' aesthetic is elegant and grand. I especially want to commend Lina, the Guest Relations Manager. She was incredibly warm and welcoming, providing detailed explanations of the hotel's facilities and nearby attractions. Throughout my stay, she was thoughtful and attentive, handling everything with professionalism and poise, which made me feel incredibly comfortable. Her meticulous service truly enhanced my entire trip, and I would definitely return.

The location is super convenient, very close to both the high-speed train station and the subway station, and the environment and hygiene are excellent. Since I was with my baby, they also helped me with a late check-out, which was much appreciated. A special thanks to employee number 007! The room facilities and equipment are also very new. My child could cast content to the TV, making it easy for him to find his favorite shows. The hotel also provided children's toothbrushes and disposable slippers. The staff were all very thoughtful and attentive. When our child is on holiday and we come to Beijing again, we will definitely choose this hotel first. It was a very satisfying stay.

The hotel's location is excellent, making it super convenient for taxis, subways, and cycling. There are a lot of international guests, and it was my first time seeing a foreign staff member at the front desk. While the room facilities are a bit dated, the service and public areas are great. Breakfast deserves a special shout-out – I ate there for 3 days and it rarely repeated, plus the quality was consistently good, maintaining the high standards of the InterContinental brand.

The PuXuan Hotel and Spa, is definitely ONE OF A KIND. It is truly a luxurious experience. We experienced several aspects of the hotel: room service, laundry, spa, and even special requests. Our journey started when we arrived to the hotel at 8am. The staff welcomed us warmly and offered tot ake care of our luggage while we explored Beijing and came back to do the proper check-in. We stayed at the parking lobby for a while, and they never tried to push us out. (In other hotels they do). Once we checked in, everything just kept improving. The rooms is simply magnificent, a “smart room” but in a really SMART. No over complicated controls, everything was user-friendly. I want to highlight the design of the room, and specially THE BATHROOM. I loved the sower, everything was clean and offered a great shower experience. Then the HOTEL SERVICES MY GOD, kudos to the all of the staff. We ordered room service and the menu was INCREDIBLE. We are from Mexico and they had Quesadillas, and a great wagyu burger! The service was quick and the food was delicious. The Creme Brulee was my favorite. We also request some laundry and MY GOD the quality of it. My linen shirt came back AS GOOD AS NEW, honestly. No single crease. About the hotel SPA, it was a truly magical experience. I reserved a traditional Chinese Medicine massage and the service was great. Although, from what I’ve experienced in other hotel spas, the price for me was a little bit off, despite the ambiance and the quality of the room. One note is that the robe felt old, it had some loose threads (and I mean I know this is is a small detail, but with everything else being just perfect, it just felt out of place to be honest). Now, the cherry on top WAS THEY NOTICED MY BIRTHDAY. Like, even i had forgotten it! Honestly! They went above and beyond to make this a truly special occasion for me! I was really touched by this present. With the overall experience I was really motivated to comeback to the PuXuan but with this small but significant detail I WILL DEFINITELY KEEP COMING BACK. Needless to say the food, the breakfast, the overall quality of the place is spectacular. Yes, maybe it can feel too modern at times, but you can feel the Chinese hospitality and details through the hotel. The hotel manager was kind enough to wave us goodbye at the checkout (and I loved her shoes by the way, she was so stylish). I personally want to thank her for keeping this high standards of services! THANK YOU! Please BOOK The PuXuan, do not hesitate on it!

Excellent location! It's super convenient to get to the Forbidden City, the National Museum, and Tiananmen Square. Being right in the heart of the commercial district means you're surrounded by big shopping malls, making dining and shopping incredibly easy. The rooms are spacious and clean, and the staff are highly professional and polite. A special shout-out to Manager Cindy, who was incredibly thorough and proactive in resolving all our issues. Highly recommend!

Fantastic location, right in the heart of Sanlitun, making it super convenient for getting around and shopping. The hotel boasts a sophisticated design with rooms offering great views. The service is attentive and meticulous, and the rooms are well-maintained. Breakfast quality is excellent, and the facilities are comprehensive. The CHAR restaurant is definitely worth experiencing. Overall, I had a very satisfying stay and highly recommend it. A special thank you to Sharon and Shirley from the Guest Service Center for their patient and thoughtful service, as well as their efficient and considerate assistance. Breakfast and dining quality are top-notch, facilities are complete, and the service level is excellent. My stay was extremely satisfying, and I highly recommend it!

Upgraded to a business room, which was very spacious with fantastic views of Chang'an Avenue and the Capital Museum outside the window. The location is super convenient with Metro Line 1 and Line 16 nearby, plus Chang'an Shopping Mall right next door offering restaurants and a cinema. Although the in-room facilities are a bit dated, it's still highly recommended. I didn't have breakfast there; it was 138 RMB per person on the spot, which felt a bit pricey, so I wouldn't recommend it.

I had a lovely 6 night stay. The hotel is conveniently located once the hotel is found as other reviews may have mentioned. The building is not labelled Jialong but Man Xin, check in around the corner from the building labelled Jialong . And if taking the metro, remembering to exit at E from the #6 /#2 line, it will get you closer to the hotel. When I first arrived, my room smelled heavily of cigarettes, I almost thought it was coming from the ventilation. I remedied it myself with an air freshener after I was told my room could not be changed. I've experienced a bit more empathy from other China hotels I've stayed in seeing I did book a non smoking room but after a couple days the cigarette smell was less. Other than that, the room was spacious, clean and comfortable. I had an atrium view which offered large windows into the dining area of the breakfast buffet so I kept the curtains closed. Still good value for the great location. I enjoyed the breakfast buffet, take not le that more items become available closer to 7am but a good variety nonetheless. I enjoyed all the Chinese food options and didn't care much for the western food (some bread and cereal). I've recently gone vegetarian and found it perfect, there were so many varieties of veggies. I felt they offered Chinese food on the healthy side. They also offered a variety of coffee, tea and juices. Laundry and gym facilities were good too. I enjoyed my stay overall.

I had an exceptional stay at this hotel in Beijing. From the moment I arrived, the staff provided warm, professional, and attentive service that made me feel truly welcome. The room was spacious, spotless, and beautifully designed, with comfortable bedding and stunning views of the city. The hotel’s facilities were outstanding, especially the breakfast selection, which offered a wide variety of delicious local and international dishes. The location was also perfect, making it easy to explore Beijing’s major attractions while still enjoying a peaceful and luxurious environment. What impressed me the most was the attention to detail and the genuine hospitality shown by every member of the team. They went above and beyond to ensure my stay was comfortable and memorable. I would highly recommend this hotel to anyone visiting Beijing for business or leisure. It truly delivers a five-star experience in every aspect, and I look forward to staying here again in the future.
