Beijing is a dynamic city, a place strung between its glorious ancient history, its rather dramatic recent history and its ever-changing place in the modern world. And now is a great time to visit. There’s a sense of momentum and reinvention, with skyscrapers designed by world-renowned architects springing up close to ancient temples, palaces and brutalist Communist monuments, and the hútòngs, with their seemingly bottomless history of commerce and hospitality, are getting a hip makeover.
Many of our Guru’s recommendations for the best places to stay in Beijing were built around the 2008 Olympics, when hundreds of modern rooms went up around the city. These properties have since had to extend their appeal to compete, and some of them have done some very creative things. Our Guru’s recommendations for the best places to stay in Beijing are all well located, but they’re spread across the city, with some in the Central Business District, some in the shopping district and some closer to the historic sights.
You’ll certainly be kept busy by all that there is to do, so get the accommodation planning out of the way now as the best places to stay in Beijing get quickly booked up.
Opposite House is an impressive contemporary hotel in the swanky ‘Village at Sanlitun’ area. There are 99 rooms with plenty of glass and light wood. There are two restaurants and both are worthy of a visit, and you’re quite close to the Forbidden City.
