The PuXuan Hotel & Spa, Beijing

No.1 WangFuJing Street, Dongcheng District, Beijing, Dongcheng, 100006 Beijing, China. (show on map)

The PuXuan Hotel & Spa is a modernist architectural marvel located right in the nerve center of Beijing, just steps from the historic Forbidden City. Designed by the renowned German architect Ole Scheeren, the building features an eye-catching, cube-like glass facade. This striking exterior is a thoughtful, contemporary homage to the pixelated brick patterns of the city’s traditional historic neighborhoods, the hutongs.

Adding to its unique story, the hotel sits directly atop the Guardian Art Center, one of Beijing’s oldest and most prestigious auction houses. This close tie to the high-stakes art world directly influenced the interior design. In fact, Shanghai-based MQ Studio deliberately installed extra-large safes in the guestrooms, specifically sized so collectors can securely store any masterpiece they might have just outbid everyone else for downstairs.

Inside, the property focuses on understated luxury and a concept called “hostmanship,” which prioritizes intuitive, empathetic service. The spaces blend Eastern and Western elements smoothly, utilizing handcrafted furniture from the luxury Chinese lifestyle brand SHANG XIA. Guests can experience authentic local flavors at the Michelin-starred Cantonese restaurant, Fu Chun Ju, which is styled to feel like a traditional courtyard home.

Expert reviews

Lonely Planet review:

“Opened in 2019, the PuXuan is Beijing’s most stylish sanctuary, made for grown-ups who demand the finer things in life. Rooms are a masterclass of taste and design – choose a west-facing Grand Deluxe for artfully framed views of Jingshan Park, a sea of hutong and a tantalising corner of the Forbidden City.”

Forbes review:

“Beijing’s PuXuan Hotel and Spa, sitting mere steps from the Forbidden City, earns as many rave reviews for its outside appearance as it does for all its interior splendor. The building’s traffic-halting cube shape was renowned German architect Ole Scheeren’s conception.”

Beautiful looking and very comfortable but limited amenities.

Comfortable rooms. Lovely modern design. Common areas lacked any vibe.

Check in was cold and not welcoming at all. Staff not super friendly. Concierge were helpful tho booked a terribly overpriced tour of forbidden city and hutong with a very average guide. Overpriced so would suggest just go with Viator or similar

Secret luxury corner next to the forbidden city

Beautifully designed and location which is extremely convenient

Room was very hot we even had to turn on the AC and it was 6 degrees outside.
Some employees did not speak good English, for a hotel of this category and price is a must.

The unique 6 Star hotel in Beijing! Outstanding!

Probably the best hotel in Beijing superior to any other 5 star hotels. Absolutely superb! Deserves to be selected as number one choice: the curated design, the serenity, the attentive staff, the layout of the rooms, the unthinkable detail thought in advance, the dinning experience associated with the unique location with almost a direct connection to Beijing subway, transform a casual stay in a ultimate experience. Congratulations 🤩👏

Impeccable from Service to Location, so much so that my Mother reminded me to Review them

The staff were courteous and went out of their way to ensure we were comfortable, and provided impeccable service down to details such as providing a warm water bottle every night for our use in warming the beds during the cold winter days - something we did not expect at all, but were so grateful for.

The location was also great, being located within walking distance of Wangfujing. The ambience of the hotel was calming and relaxing. I'm sure I'll be back if I'm ever in Beijing again!

Nothing - it was impeccable from the service to location.

Exceptional Stay with Thoughtful Service – A True Beijing Gem!

The PuXuan Hotel in Beijing exceeded all expectations. From the impeccable service to the attention to every detail, our stay was flawless. The staff went above and beyond to make us feel welcomed and catered to, while the cleanliness and elegance of the rooms made it feel like a true sanctuary. I even forgot a personal item at the hotel, and they were incredibly helpful in arranging to post it to me in Shanghai. Every corner of the hotel was thoughtfully designed, creating an atmosphere that was both luxurious and inviting. Highly recommend this beautiful place – it made our Beijing visit truly special!

All was perfect.

It's a stunning hotel and will go back there!

Stunning Building and the design is slick, contemporary, boutique - yes has a stunning artistic Chinese aesthetic too.
Great central location - a walk away from the North exit of The Forbidden City.
Wonderful breakfast at Le Rive Gauche too.

I liked everything, they only thing i didn't like was that we didn't have more time there!

Excellent, very happy and very luxurious.

Staff were very friendly and helpful, especially the lady at the front desk downstairs. Room was amazing and clean with super nice shower. Loved the Japanese toilet. Breakfast was amazing too, very worth the additional cost.

We had assumed the shuttle service was free but that was probably our mistake. The shuttle service is just a pre-booked premium car which you can just book yourself at the airport first cheaper.

The most wonderful stay

I travelled with my two little children and the staff was incredibly attentive and assisted us with any queries we had. We loved our room and the setup, there were even special amenities for the children. The food (room service for dinner and the restaurant for breakfast) was very good and the choices left nothing to wish for. All in all we had the most wonderful stay - thank you!

Fantastic hotel, perfect location, lovely attentive staff - would highly recommend for city break

As this was our first trip to mainland China and 3 only had 3 nights in Beijing, we wanted to make the most of our time
weeks before we left the UK we had excellent communication with their Customer Services / Butler team. Everyone was very helpful and Jason Wang in particular ensured we were able to book an amazing helicopter trip over the Great Wall on one of the busiest holiday times in China. The location is very special and the hotel is very central and a very cool design

Honestly not much could be done to improve this hotel. We were very pleased. I suppose as a Spa hotel, I assumed there would be a pool, and there isn't, but I would have realised that if I had been more attentive when booking

Staff-nice & friendly, most of them cldnt communicate well in English except for Frank. He is a star

Breakast was quite bland except for the beef noodle soup.

Most of the food on the menu. The buffet spread was good. Never had a poached egg on avocado toast before.

Fashionable but flawed hotel

Comfy beds, good view out of the windows. Great toilet and bathroom facilities. Great location.

Considering the cost and prestige of the hotel, we were very disappointed by:

1. No swimming pool or hot tub
2. Very small and poorly equipped gym
3. Small room size
4. Sauna not working
5. Room service telephone not working
6. Not being told breakfast to the room was not included in our breakfast that we’d payed for then having to negotiate when checking out
7. Some staff were unfriendly
8. Room service dinner was wrong in some ways (burger cooked well done and asked for medium rare) my wife’s fries were not delivered

Considering this is a ‘spa’ hotel we were expecting a good gym and facilities to accompany it. There is a major focus on style and look, but we found many standard things to be a let down.

Furthermore, our check out process was very unfriendly and we left with a bad impression. The woman on the concierge desk was fantastic and helpful, but sadly everyone else was not.

An artistic hotel located in the Forbidden City

You can see Jingshan and the Forbidden City at here.The employees are very friendly, the facilities are very new, and the decoration design has beautiful lines and geometric shapes. A clean environment and delicious breakfast.
If you come to Beijing for tourism, this is a good choice!

The outer structure of the steel frame may produce abnormal noise due to cold shrinkage and thermal expansion.
No swimming pool.

Fantastic stay at arty luxury hotel with great location

Fantastic luxury boutique hotel under Leading Hotels of the World management. It’s right opposite the National Art Museum of China and has an underground station on its doorstep, along the main Wangfujing street. Really like the whole arty vibe, fantastic breakfast spread with buffet à la carte and huge super clean luxury rooms with complimentary minibar. First hotel in a long time to serve us enough drinking water without me having to request for more water! They spotted that it was my sister’s birthday without us having to tell them, surprised her with balloons and flowers! I stayed at the Peninsula before moving here and I far prefer Puxuan! Very helpful and friendly staff. Will definitely stay here again in my next trip to Beijing!

No pool.

True 5 star experience

Right on top of a subway station and opposite the Gallery(?)

Perfect location. Staff speaks proper english and is very friendly and helpful, even if you arrive at midnight.

Unfoprtunately we received what appeared to be a room for smokers. Better explicitly ask for a non smoker room when you book. Coming from a country where smoking is never allowed you just don't think about these kind of things.

YUou could smell the smoke slighlty but other than that the room was flawless.

We felt welcome and comfortable staying in this hotel.

Cleanliness, Cozy, Strategic Location. Walking distant to many tourist attractions like Forbidden City, Schichahai, Beihai Park, Wang Fu Jing .... etc.

The staffs are friendly. Ashley is amazing, she is very friendly and always ready to offer to help. Cervine and Ron are also very helpful. They teach us how to use the Apps to call taxis and recommend us places to visits.

Wifi needed to improve.
