The hype
Travelers adore the location and the concierge team (shoutout to Zack and Yina), but admit the bathrooms feel like 2008.
Regent Beijing
$150-250/ νύχτα
Κρατήστε αυτό αν You want a massive room with a Forbidden City view and a subway station literally downstairs, without paying Peninsula prices.
Γιατί Το Αγαπούν
- Floor-to-ceiling windows with actual views of the Forbidden City (on high floors)
- Subway Line 5 (Dengshikou Station) is directly accessible from the hotel basement
- Standard rooms start at a generous 45 square meters (484 sq ft)
Γρήγορη Ματιά: It's a 'classic' luxury hotel, which is a polite way of saying the marble is spectacular but the shower drains might be a bit slow.
Αξιολόγηση από @lewbiegoestoperth: I honestly thought our trip was ruined until we checked in here. Splurging on this room was the best decision—waking up to that Forbidden Palace view and having a proper coffee machine made me feel human again. If you're feeling burnt out in Beijing, you need to stay here.

Reality check
Several recent guests reported maintenance lags—specifically clogged drains and visible mold in shower grout.
- You need to be everywhere in Beijing fast (subway access is elite)
- You appreciate old-school service where staff handle your luggage without asking
- You want a 5-star pool that's actually long enough for laps (25m)
Καθαριότητα & Συντήρηση
8.2
- Housekeeping: Generally attentive with daily service, though some reports of missed dust in corners.
- Bathroom hygiene: The weak point. Recent reports of mold in grout and slow-draining showers.
- Maintenance: Furniture is sturdy but showing age (scuffs, worn velvet).
- Linens & towels: High quality, crisp and white. No complaints here.
- Odors & scents: Lobby is heavily scented; rooms are generally neutral but check for mustiness in older carpets.

Τι να πακετάρετε
- Universal travel adapter (Type I is standard, but hotel has mixed outlets)
- N95 masks (air quality can fluctuate rapidly)
- Google Translate app (download Chinese offline—staff English is good, but taxi drivers' isn't)
