We stayed at this hotel with friends for a couple of nights in Beijing. We were kindly welcomed at check-in. Large, bright rooms and helpful staff assisted us with our excessive luggage (10 bags were lifted manually, as there is no elevator in the building) and helped us contact the travel company via their personal cellphones when we had logistical problems with the flight schedules. Throughout our stay, the staff were exceptionally caring and attentive: it was very sweet that they always asked how our day had been, how we slept, and whether we would like some tea. The hotel provides complimentary delicious tea and bottled water, which we truly appreciated. We also really enjoyed the breakfasts; they were tasty, well-prepared, and a perfect start to the day. After check-out, we were wished a good flight and surprised with small gifts and joyful smiles, which left a wonderful final impression.

FAQs about hotels in Beijing

From Chinese Dynasties to Cultural Dynamics

A world-renowned gem, sprawling Beijing has magnificent monuments and peaceful parks. At its heart is the world’s largest square - Tiananmen, surrounded by important museums and the amazing Forbidden City. This 15th-century, walled complex of palaces neighbours Jingshan Park and Beihai Park with its imperial garden.

Opposite Tiananmen Square is the ultra-modern National Centre for Perfoming Arts, a beacon of the city’s culture so impressively displayed at the opening and closing ceremonies of the 2008 Beijing Olympics in the Bird’s Nest Stadium.

To its east is the UNESCO World-Heritage listed Summer Palace, a lakeside retreat of emperors, while also UNESCO listed is the grand Temple of Heaven in Chongwen district, where remnants of Ming dynasty city walls are visible. Nearby are several hutongs, narrow alleys whose traditional architecture contrasts with wider, modern roads including Beijing Financial Street, the city's business area.

The most popular Beijing shopping street is Wangfujing, and other must-see sights include the giant pandas at Beijing Zoo and the Great Wall of China, an easy day trip from Beijing.

As you would expect from the capital of the world’s most populous country, there are a good number of 5-star hotels in Beijing on Booking.com, mainly in the Dongcheng and Chaoyang districts. There are also several hotels near Beijing Capital Airport in the north-east.

There are places in this city which are guaranteed to blow your mind, such as the Forbidden City, the Temple of Heaven, the Summer Palace, and the Lama Temple. Traffic in Beijing is terrible but luckily the subway is superb. And did I mention the food? So tasty and healthy!

Beijing is beautiful and with lots of scenic places. Getting around is easy, especially with DIDI, easy booking, exceptional good price and comfortable. Food is delicious, especially the peking duck restaurants. Only shortfall is the toilet, room for more improvement.

Stunning Architecture and World Heritage sites all well-...

Stunning Architecture and World Heritage sites all well-managed for visitors, such as shuttles, tickets, toilets and no-smoking policy. A major drawback that this city should improve is the smoking areas. People can smoke freely on the streets, which negatively affects those with respiratory problems and children. This makes our city walks less enjoyable. In addition, many locals tend to spit on the streets, which is another issue that should be addressed.

An amazing city - probably doesn't need more than a 5 day...

An amazing city - probably doesn't need more than a 5 day trip. A day-long excursion to the Great Wall of China is a must (hire a driver rather than spending 2 hours on a bus) and get there early to beat the queues for the chairlift up and toboggan down. Starting early is important most days as there are SO many tourists (mostly Chinese) at all the major sights. If you're there longer - consider going to a hot springs (onsen) and choose one that the locals use (we went to one in the Fengtai area) and taking a day trip to another city (we took the high speed train to Tianjin which was fun). The Temple of Heaven was better than the Summer Palace (IMHO) and Beijing Zoo was dismal - only go if you absolutely MUST see the pandas. Get a good VPN before you travel and stay connected to this to be able to use Instagram and WhatsApp. Set up AliPay with your payment details before you go - we didn't use cash once in a week and AliPay lets you book taxis, pay for the metro, pay in shops and pay individuals directly. It's essential. Consider getting WeChat too - people in China use this instead of Whatsapp. Carry your passport with you at all times - you'll need it everywhere - including spot checks in metro stations etc. Have a great trip!

Every traveler should definitely download the Alipay app in advance, which includes English translation. The app is the easiest way to pay, take the subway, order a taxi, or rent a bike. The first steps are a bit difficult, but once you get it up and running, it makes traveling in Beijing incredibly easy. In many cases, this is the only way to pay, cash is extremely rare. Your passport is requested at almost every attraction and must be scanned, often even on the way out. It's not worth going anywhere without it. They speak English in hotels, but in restaurants, often not anymore. Most taxi drivers, vendors, and waiters communicate with a translation program, which works quite well.

This hotel was the perfect place to stay for my first trip to Beijing as a solo female traveller. It is centrally-located right next to Wangfujing shopping street and a 20 min walk from main attractions, and has 2 subway stations very close by which were very handy for getting around. The hotel itself was clean and modern, and my room was very comfortable. The breakfast was outstanding with plenty of choice, and it was a nice touch that a fruit plate was left in my room to thank me for choosing to stay for several nights.

I recently spent a wonderful week at the Sunworld Dynasty Hotel Beijing and was very impressed. The location is perfect, right on Wangfujing Street, close to major attractions like the Forbidden City and Tiananmen Square. The room was spacious, clean, and comfortable, with great daily housekeeping. I really enjoyed the indoor pool, and the staff were friendly and always helpful, especially with directions and local tips. Overall, it was a fantastic stay and I’d gladly return for another visit.

Although the location was a little further out of the tourist area, this was actually a good thing. Given that Alipay offers such cheap taxis, the distance was not an issue. The hotel was clean and the staff did everything they could to help me as a first time tourist in Beijing, well, actually China. I was quite jetlagged when I arrived so ate in the restaurant - the peking duck was amazing!
