Beijing's nine ranked hotels all hold MICHELIN Keys and two carry Forbes Five Star ratings, spread across a city whose luxury geography is unusually dispersed. The Peninsula Beijing and Waldorf Astoria Beijing sit on Jinyu Hutong near Wangfujing, the latter with a row of separate hutong villas behind grey brick walls, while Mandarin Oriental Wangfujing crowns the WF Central complex opposite.

Rosewood Beijing works the Chaoyang business district beside the third ring road, Hotel Eclat fills the Parkview Green atrium with a contemporary art collection, and Shangri-La Shougang Park occupies part of a decommissioned steelworks in the western suburbs.

Where to stay in Beijing

Wangfujing and the Dongcheng hutongs put the Forbidden City, Tiananmen and the National Museum within walking distance and hold the courtyard-style stays; Chaoyang and the CBD suit business visitors and evening dining; Shijingshan in the west and the Summer Palace district in the northwest trade central access for space and quiet.

When to go

September and October bring dry, clear air and the year's strongest demand, matched only by the first weeks of May; the humid rains of July and August and the cold of December and January are the quietest stretches, while National Day and Spring Festival fill the city briefly.
