Luxury landmark hotel near Beijing’s Forbidden City

A four-year, $35-million renovation, finished in 2006, completed the transformation of the somber former Palace Hotel into one of Beijing's most refined hotels. The Peninsula's trademark fleet of Rolls Royce Phantoms (plus BMW 7 series) whisk guests from the airport to the hotel. The 44,000-square foot Peninsula Spa by ESPA offers dozens of treatments. Jing and Huang Ting restaurants provide sumptuous visual and culinary feasts. Guests can reach the Forbidden City within a 15-minute walk.

Highlights
  • One of Beijing's premier luxury hotels
  • 44,000-square-foot Peninsula Spa by ESPA
  • Huang Ting and Jing restaurant provide sumptuous visual and culinary feasts
  • 15-minute walk to the Forbidden City
  • Rolls Royce Phantom fleet
Rooms

The 525 rooms -- 57 of them suites -- whose Features section looks this way in the manuscrip lean toward simple elegance, with earth-tone colors and streamlined furniture. All rooms feature a white marble bathroom, 42-inch flat-screen television, CD and DVD players, free high-speed Internet, and Wi-Fi. 

Dining

The two main restaurants capture the essence of old and new Beijing. Huang Ting, which serves traditional Chinese cuisine, resembles a nobleman's courtyard house. The wooden door and elaborate screens came from demolished homes in Shanxi Province. Jing serves fusion fare that often ranks among the city's best meals. Jing's dining room glows with red glass curtains, white stone walls, and a stainless steel open kitchen.

Recreation

The 44,000-square-foot Peninsula Spa by ESPA offers an indulgent Purva Karma four-handed synchronized massage. The fitness center features Life Fitness machines with individual televisions and an indoor heated 20-meter (66-foot) swimming pool. The staff includes physical trainers as well as a nutritional advisor. Guests can opt for a chauffeured escort to the airport in one of the hotel's trademark Rolls Royce Phantoms.

Unbelievable Hotel

The most opulent and gorgeous hotel we've ever stayed at. Service was impeccable. Everything is very pricey though. Location was perfect for most of the major attractions. Can walk to shopping, cinema, tianamenn square, forbidden city, etc., subway, markets, you name it. Room was very modern and has all the amenities. Just needs a coffee maker so bring your own. Very, very nice hotel.

Make my Beijing trip memorable

The room was very comfortable and the staff were very friendly. This was my first time visiting Beijing. It is very close to the city center where the Forbidden City and Tienanmen Square are located. It takes about 10 minutes walk to the nearest subway station. It would be hard to do so during cold weather in winter. But fortunately, taxi is always available and not expensive in Beijing.

Fantastic stay in ideal location

The Peninsula was a great experience, would definately book this hotel again - pure luxury. Breakfast buffet very good, housekeeping could not be faulted.The location is ideal, 20 minutes walk from the Forbidden City and the main shopping street., The only thing that I would change would be the instant coffee in the room - for this class of hotel a small Nespresso machine would have been more appropriate.

Asia vacation

1.Excellent, excellent location 2.If you ran into a problem, talk with Nicole, the manager, it would be resolved. The manager tried very hard! Also, the general Manager, Monsieur Pimont. 3.The room on the first few days is excellent, the service slacked a bit after the first two days! 4.The hotel should be a little more generous with the complimentary coffee, because it was hard to get any where early in the morning to get just a cup of coffee. 5.The worker just gave 2 small instant coffee packages every time you asked and you have to ask for sugar and cream, each time! The server expects tips every single times, so you feel like you have to tip for the 2 instant (1 cup) packages, then tip for the cream, then tip for the sugar! it's not the tipping, it is the many times you have to ask! 6. I guess for Beijing standard, it's a five stars because we talked with other travelers and we heard that other hotels were worse!

Elegance, service and location

Our room was very comfortable and immaculately maintained, with frequent housekeeping and turndown serivce. We used the concierge to arrange airport pickup and also a day trip to the Great Wall. Both were first class and comfortable. We also ate dinner in the two main restaurants and had terrific meals. The location is central Beijing and a great base for exploring the city.

The hotel was great, except that the rooms were TINY!!! We had 2 adjoining rooms which was nice, but even with that, it was extraordinarily cramped. Breakfast were amazing!!
