Hotels near Tiananmen Gate (Gate of Heavenly Peace)

not having ever stayed in a 5 star hotel we have nothing like it to compare to. however, we were very pleased at the service, cleanliness, and presentation of this hotel. very spacious deluxe room, and the normal room service (cleaning, re-stocking) was terrific too. there is an indoor pool that was a bit on the cool side, but it didn't detract from our daughter having fun in it. free, clean, magnet-locked locker room, and clean showers in locker room. several dining options available, the coffee buffet decent, not grand. the 20th floor italian restaurant, though a bit pricey, was fancy enough and tasty, with amazing views overlooking downtown beijing (tiananmen square, part of forbidden city). hotel in excellent location, just a few blocks from above named attractions. we would definitely stay here again!!

We stayed at the Hotel for 7 nights. The Hotel is conveniently located within the Wangfujing shopping area and also near to attractions like the Forbidden City (we walked there from the Hotel) and Tiananmen. The Wangfujing subway station is 10-15 minutes’ walk away but it is not a difficult walk as there are shopping malls along the way. Airport shuttle bus (25RMB) stops very near to the Hotel. The Hotel has a good gym and swimming pool. The room was a little old but spacious and overall acceptable and no problem with the air-con. The Hotel staff from the front desk to the concierge to the housekeeping were friendly and helpful. We would especially like to thank the young man from the concierge who was working on 18 May ~9pm. We were having problem with an external agent over a tour booking and approached the staff for help; he was polite and full of initiative to help and even used his phone to help us call the external agent. Overall, a very good hotel!

Enjoy the ideal vantage point from this five-star Beijing hotel, located in the heart of the city. Situated on Wangfujing, within walking distance of The Forbidden City and Tiananmen Square, Grand Hyatt Beijing is part of Oriental Plaza – one of China’s largest commercial complexes – with direct access to the adjacent shopping mall. Wangfujing Street, located next to the hotel, serves as a preferred shopping hub for traditional silk shops, tea houses and department stores. Experience the best of both worlds within this central Beijing luxury hotel, where well-appointed rooms and suites offer a subtle blend of Western and Oriental traditions. Here, contemporary hotel design is accompanied by world-class standards of service. Savour our award-winning restaurants, Made in China and Noble Court. Unwind through a variety of recreational features, from Club Oasis Spa to our resort-style indoor pool. Enjoy unmatched business services, including a 24-hour Business Centre and professional planning and catering for meetings and conferences at Grand Hyatt Beijing.

The location of this hotel is super. It is located at the heart of Beijing. Tienanmen Square and Wangfujian Street are within walking distance. A Western style shopping mall is nearby. It provides me coffee and breads every morning (I love Chinese foods but I still need American coffee and breads ^^). The staff of this hotel are kind. For example, one female staff made a local call (because I had no local cell phone) to contact my friend in Beijing when we arrived; another male staff helped us to secure an official taxi (of which you need local taxi APP; again, I don't have a cell) and guarded us not being "robbed" by unofficial taxi drivers in front of hotel's gate for our own safety. In sum, I will stay this hotel if I visit Beijing again.

We had a wonderful stay in the Hilton. I had asked them to pick us up from the airport and they had an airport representative waiting for us at the gate who helped with suitcases etc. very well organized. Hotel is in a great location within walking distance of Forbidden City, Tiananmen square and shopping. Concierge desk arranged a car and tour guide for us who was excellent. Was not so impressed with the restaurants in the hotel only the coffeeshop downstairs was quite nice.

we are frequent travellers to usa/europe/south-east asia but this was 1st visit to china so were a little apprehensive in booking this chinese run hotel. hotel was much better than our expectations, clean spacious room on 11th floor,fast check-in & reception staff pleasing to talk in english,daily cleaning/change of linen towels. hotel location about 150 mtrs from 2 metro stations on either front side of hotel,efficent beijing subway system to travel, downtown area like wangfujing steet about 250mtrs,tianmen square/forbidden city also about 1km from hotel walking but why walk as take the train /metro to tianmen etc which is the 2nd stop cost 2 yuan only/1st stop is wangfujing street. shopping persons must go to silk street/yushoi mkt & bargain repeatedly but you get all you want to buy branda at far lessor rate than europr etc, from the hotel take metro to Yongli which is 1st stop in the reverse direction to tianamen square, from yongli station exit to the gate of super mkt/silk street this mkt is opp soho area.taxi from beijing internationa airport to hotel is yuan

The moment we check-in we felt like we were very welcome already. Hank, in the concierge briefed and toured us and even accompanied us to our room. Li in the lounge was great and very friendly so as with the front desk staff, Mr ? From Romania. The staffs in the restaurant were also very friendly and helpful. The only thing we were not happy was the package tour arranged by Hank, which was not a professional tourist guide and a little dirty bus and not from a 5 star hotel standard. This, of course, was nothing to do with the hotel. We would like to come back in the future and we will definitely stay only in Raffles Beijing. There is no better hotel in Beijing than Raffles Beijing, location wise. Many places of interests like Forbidden City, Tiananmen Square, Museum, Shopping Malls, Market, and train station within few minutes walk.

Our stay in Novotel is close to perfection. The location of the hotel is near Wangfujing Market (where you can shop for food and souvenirs at the lowest price), walking distance to Tiananmen Square, Forbidden City, and shopping malls. The room is also great and so is the food (breakfast). Though majority of the receptionists do not speak english, they make up by looking for other staff who can. Overall, I can consider this as one of the best vacations I had. Thanks to Novotel Beijing Peace Hotel for being part of it.

We are happy to book in Crowne Plaza as this is very accessible to everything. Shopping mall, restaurants, supermarkets. Very near touriat attraction Forbidden City, Tiananmen Square. Stores are everywhere. Its Value for Money. Location is a Plus although the hotel itself is quite old already but they managed to maintain its cleanliness. Staff are polite and courteous but they speak a little English only that there is language barrier between hotel guest and front desk Clerk.

This is a very nice courtyard hotel in Beijing. We paid extra for the hotel to provide transportation from the airport and it was a good thing we did because it is VERY hard to find. Cab drivers will not take you into the hutong neighborhood, nor will they pick you up there. We arrived at night and I don't know how we would have found it ourselves. The good: Very pretty and peaceful hotel with a great breakfast to start your day. Near Forbidden City, night market, etc . . . The bad: Staff would not assist us in obtaining transportation when we left. We had to drag our luggage down the alley to a main street to get a ride (about 10 minutes). The door to my adult son's room was left open by housekeeping, not just unlocked, but open.

This located at the strategy location and having a bus stop just in front of hotel. There are buses to forbidden city, tiananmen, and other point of visit. Is also bear to nanluoguxiang which is around 15 mins walking distance. There is a bakery selling bread and a mini market just same row of hotel with 3 mins walking distance. Cleaniness is overall good but please take note that please ask there staff to change the bathrobe everyday as there don’t get me new one everyday for my total stay at there for 8 nights. Breakfast is good but limited choices of foods. Overall will recommend this.

The hotel isn't too bad but just not perfect. Overall rooms and services are ok. Breakfast is the pretty much the same stuff every day although there is a relative wide spread. The hotel is not inconvenient but it is not within close walking distance. Perhaps the few minutes of walking would be tolerable but in the summer heat, any minute less in the heat would be good. The nearest subway about 5 minutes away is the Cultural Center station but it requires multiple changes of lines to get to most of the attractions in Beijing. Wasn't as convenient as if you would stay near Line 1 or 2 or 4/5. Overall, the price isn't cheap too and can be considered steep. For the price, much more is expected. Hotel staff at breakfast also needs to explain more about the signing of the bill every morning for the breakfast before guest misunderstood that we may need to pay for breakfast when it's included in our package. Pool wasn't too bad with a slightly hot tub besides it. Didn't go to the gym.

While the staff deliver 5 star service the hotel's infrastructure is no longer 5 star, with the exception of the pool/gym. Ownership needs desperately to invest in a refurbishment of the rooms/halls, etc. That said, at the right price point, this hotel represents arguably the best hotel value in Beijing. Through a prepay/no refund deal available only on Agoda, my wife and I obtained a great price (excluding breakfast but including taxes for 5 nights in early Jan 2014) and, thus, enjoyed an excellent stay. Our grand deluxe room was quite comfortable and, when a few things needed fixing, the staff responded immediately and quickly resolved the issues. The lobby lounge is a very good spot for meetings over tea/coffee and the gym/pool are excellent. We did not eat in the hotel so no comment on dining. The location of the hotel is great and, for those interested, there is a subway stop less than 5 minutes walk. There are also coffee shops, bakeries, restaurants, etc., all within a very short walk of the hotel. In sum, while this property is no longer 5 star in overall quality and certainly not nearly the same quality level as the rest of the Peninsula Hotels around the world, at the right price point it is worth considering and for visits to Beijing. We will certainly consider it for our next visit.

This is a wonderful, cheap and convenient hotel. I had a great time. The location is slap bang in the middle of Beijing. The closest subway is only a few blocks away. Reception don't speak any English, but people who complain about this lack creativity and insight. Just download a translation app, and vuala you're in business. The people here were very nice and smiled every time I passed by. Do your research on the places you want to visit because unfortunately the English level is very low.

EChoose this hotel cause it is new and in the best location in Beijing. Staff are nice and helpful. Facilities are all in top grade. There is room to improve. Like better communication on check in, reception should tell us the room to room line is disable between 22:00 - 08:00. Adding a small rubbish bin in toilet room. One more tissue box in living room. A small table next to sofa for placing tea and food...etc. Anyway, the overall experience in this hotel is great and comfortable. Would like to visit again

Though a little hard to find, hotel is actually conventiently located just 3 bus stops away from subway station Dong Si and is just a few bus stops from Tian An Men Square. Hotel is only a short walk from Xuan Wu Men or North Gate (exit gate) of the Forbidden City. Do note that visitation to the Forbidden City is currently uni-directional i.e. you could only enter from the the main entrance at South Gate at Tian An Men Square and exit from the North Gate. The hotel is located in the middle of a small road. Getting out of the hotel turning right is a small decent road which is the direction of access to the North Gate of Forbidden City. Getting out turning right however, is an alley "Hu Tong" which is lined with small shops which one would not imagine could lead to a decent multi-story hotel housed within a compound although at the beginning of the road is several signage in Chinese showing there are several hotel/motel down the road. So don't be surprise if you first hit this alley when you try to find the hotel. Trully worth noting is, housed within the compound facing the entrance gate of the hotel is the building which was once the resort home of Princess He Jia, the fourth daughter of Emperor Qian Long. In 1898, this building was converted to an educational instituion which is the predecessor of the current Peking University. It was once the tallest educational building in China. Hotel is also just next to Jing Shan Park. Wang Fu Jing and the Prince Gong Mansion (Gong Wang Fu) aren't too far to access too, although transport maybe necessary.

The hotel is in the city center and conveniently located near the Dengshikou subway station. It's within walking distance of Tiananmen Square and Wangfujing shopping district. The breakfast buffet has many choices and my family loved it. The staff was courteous and helped us purchase train tickets. The hotel is clean. However, the AC in our room wasn't cold enough in the hot summer in Beijing.

This hotel is easy to find (we travelled by airport express and subway - cheap, quick and interesting) and very close to Tiananmen Square and the Forbidden City. The Grand Mercure has an impressive entrance and is welcoming and clean, with a really excellent bedroom (we were upgraded to Executive Suite on the 10th floor). The buffet dining has a wide range of Chinese and Western food on offer and the staff are friendly but could perhaps be a little more proactive. Service one evening was quite slow, but the food was very good. We arranged the trip to thye Great Wall in the hotel and it was really good. We would stay here again.

I really liked this hotel for the price of it. I was first staying in a different hotel that was more money and moved after a few days. Jianguo Garden is big with nice lobby and restaurants and the taxi drivers knew this road and how to get here which was not the case of the other hotel I stayed in. Jianguo Garden is on the same road as Tiananmen Sq., several shopping malls, Silk Market and other things of interest to visitors. I thought it was a great deal and wish I stayed here my entire visit.
