All you need to know
If you’re looking for a place in Beijing that blends something sleek and modern with serious local character, the Mandarin Oriental Qianmen is exactly that kind of spot. Nestled in the heart of an old hutong neighbourhood, it’s made up of just 42 traditional courtyard houses. So, rather than a towering mega-hotel, you get this intimate hideaway vibe that still feels luxurious.
The location is No. 1 Caochang Alley 10, Dongcheng District, which puts you right in the historic fabric of the city while being comfortable and polished.
Inside, you’ll discover a mix of fine dining, spa time, and quirky local touches. The hotel boasts restaurants like the Cantonese/Chaozhou spot by Chef Fei, an Italian bistro (VICINI), and a cocktail bar tucked into a hutong alley for that extra touch of character.
For downtime, there’s a spa, tea house, and areas that feel calm and tranquil despite being amid the buzz of Beijing.
