Aman at Summer Palace Hotel, Beijing
More photosExpert reviews
“Hard to fault this exquisite hotel, a candidate for best in Beijing. It’s located around the corner from the Summer Palace – parts of the hotel date to the 19th century. The big rooms are superbly appointed, and contained in a series of picture-perfect pavilions set around courtyards.”
“If you’re looking for a tranquil setting, visit Aman Summer Palace in the sprawling city of Beijing. Aman features airy luxurious suites surrounding a scenic garden courtyard. Suites have both a bedroom and living area, with plenty of seating to unwind with a good novel or a cocktail.”
“The Aman knows imperial luxury. The resort is a period Qing Dynasty structure of crisscrossing courtyards, halls and suites, unfolding symmetrically like a miniature Forbidden City.”
“The epitome of blissful indulgence, this luxury hotel is spread out across a series of carefully renovated ancient Qing Dynasty courtyards—it even has its own private entrance to the Summer Palace.”
