Beijing Hotels with Bars

Overall, we loved our stay at this hotel and would definitely come again if back in Beijing! 1. Location is great and just short walking distance from the subway but we ended up just Didi-Ing everywhere cause due to the prime location, it’s so affordable no matter which direction we need to go. Nearby also many malls, food, shopping etc within walking distance. 2. After reading reviews, most were good and the only issue we saw ppl unhappy about is saying that the room is too hot during winter (as no aircon but heater instead). We realise that ppl are talking about the no window rooms. As such, we made it a point to book our twin room with windows. Best decision! Window was handy during half of our stay. But unfortunately we happen to come when there’s some big government meeting in the area, so the windows were closed with a screw for security reasons for the other half. Nonetheless, the concierge service was excellent and we had no problem getting a fan upon request. They provided a tower fan for us and it was more than sufficient to ventilate the room while having heater on cause of the cold weather. 3. Shoutout to the helpful and friendly staff! Even though the hotel seemed small considering it’s by a big brand, but the service was really up to standard! Special mention to Baozi who’s station at the first floor concierge who helped to answer all the touristy questions we have during our stay. And even go the extra mile to help us look for the answer on his personal device when he’s not sure. 4. Nice point to have hot porridge available at night between 6pm to 12am for folks who weren’t satisfied with dinner and need a simple supper. Just some simple condiments to go along but something hot at night sometimes is all you need. They also have a couple of fruits and drinks available all day. Not super impressive stuff but just quite thoughtful. 5. The only thing to point out is that as mentioned - the hotel is quite small, so no swimming pool, but they do have laundry and gym at the basement which we didn’t use. But love the smart system they have set up. Which you can use voice activation to control in the room, requesting for certain items also is easy process using the tablet. And when you order food delivery, they use the robot to bring it up to your room which is fast and efficient. Also, they provide bottled water daily but also have a machine you can refill from on the first floor if you need more. 6. Lastly, almost forgot to say about the room - it’s nice and spacious! So really go for the room with window as I think it’s bigger. 2 of us with large 28 inch luggage and have space to walk around even after both luggage is open big big at the sides. Bed is nice and comfy and the bigger type. Toilet also is spacious, shower area separated by glass door. Ample dry area to change after come out of shower. Amenities (shampoo, conditioner and body wash) are also good quality, feels nice and I didn’t need to take out my own to use. We also had a free minibar with our booking, simple with just 4 can drinks and couple packet of biscuits but was a pretty good touch. No issues with the daily housekeeping!

This hotel is very pleasant. The rooms are clean and modern, even if not particularly spacious, and I enjoyed seeing and hearing the robots as they moved around the reception area into the lifts. The breakfast was superb – varied food, and lots of it. The staff were wonderful, although not much English was spoken. The location is great, being at the junction of two subway lines and the Capital Airport Express. The only possible downside was that the aircon didn’t work particularly well in the rooms, although I’m told the weather was unusually warm for the March 2025 days when I stayed. I'm not quite sure where I should provide some comments about travelling around Beijing. It can be quite a culture challenge if, like me, it is your first visit to Beijing, and you do not speak the language. The usual approach for any visitor to a foreign country is to ask staff at your hotel, or to stop passersby, or to consult something like Google Maps. The first two of these are possible, but, in view of the lack of any widespread use of English by the Chinese, the answers provided might not be readily understood by the questioner. This situation is not helped by the fact that the English translations of various Chinese place names can have different spellings, which makes it hard to identify where exactly any particular place is located. In addition, the Beijing subway is vast, and can take a long time to travel around. The interchange between lines can be as much as 10-15 minutes. Yet further, the subway stations themselves are massive, with sometimes as many as six exits. These are also sometimes 10 or 15 minutes walk away from each other. So there is a risk that you could emerge into the open air without really knowing where you are. For info, I attach a March 2025 photo of a plan of the Beijing subway. I suggest visitors get to know this well, taking care that you don't confuse (as happened with me!) one like-sounding station with another. As for online maps, the great Chinese firewall makes it tricky to consult and use the Internet with any great facility. I found that it took a long time to plan any travel around the city. For instance, I wanted to visit the Marco Polo bridge, which in 1937 was the scene of a skirmish, or battle, between the Japanese and the Chinese in 1937. But could I work out how to get to this site? In a word, no. I simply could not establish the route, or how long it would take, or which suburban railway or subway line I should use. So I gave up. I suspect that it would be possible with some form of guided tour but that would need to be planned in advance. I could also have used a taxi, I suppose, except I couldn't get to grips with the ride hailing app Didi. In summary, Beijing is a lovely place. The architecture is amazing. The people are friendly. Hotels are affordable and clean. One feels safe. Food is tasty. The culture and history is, naturally, sensational. I'm very much in favour in fostering good relations between the West and China. But western tourists should suspend your normal approach to sightseeing. Be prepared for internet restrictions, and language issues, to make it a lot harder than usual to get around or visit places. The authorities and the various travel organisations steer you towards organised tours, so maybe the best idea is to buy into this concept. Or perhaps you can get a Chinese buddy to explain things. So my advice is to visit Beijing with an open mind and be prepared to be patient, and play by the rules rather than trying to be too independent.

This hotel is strategically located between Wanfujing street and forbidden city. Walking distance to both of the attractions is a plus point. 5 mins away from metro station so going around using public transport is easy. Famous Peking duck restaurant is just beside the hotel and it is a must try if you are visiting Beijing. Hotel cleanliness is top notch. Only thing to regret for us was choosing a room without window. Even during winter times, it got quite hot and suffocating since there was no window in our room type. Hotel provided fan but that was not good enough for my hubby who likes cold. Other than that, I would highly recommend to stay here and I would stay there again if I ever visit Beijing again. Hotel provided daily fresh fruits and snacks. There is free laundry and dryers on top floor so it was very convenient for us. Oh another highlight is Taobao orders!! 😂 We can purchase anything from Taobao with hotel address and the delivery took only 1-2 days max. Reception will help you receive the deliveries. Super love it!

I had a wonderful stay at this hotel. The atmosphere was warm and welcoming, the staff were incredibly kind and attentive, and the food was absolutely delicious. It’s the perfect place to relax and unwind after a long day. I wholeheartedly recommend this hotel – you won’t be disappointed. Truly worth every moment!

Nice to find a hotel that offers family room for 4 in a single room - I guess in China it’s still rare for there to be more than 1 child in a family! The room was a good size with a very comfortable super king bed that fits 3 persons and an additional single bed. Bathroom was big with bath and separate rain shower. Bar was closed (for good??). Annoying as we had family who came to visit and wanted to have a drink together that isn’t just wine. At least offer some beer in your restaurant if the bar is closed. Breakfast was vast, lots of choice. But for the price I would expect better包子 and 油条. Felt like they came from a packet, not freshly made. I can get so much better on a street cart for less than £1, so very disappointing that a five star hotel cannot make decent Chinese staples. I would say the 豆腐脑, and 葱花饼 was lovely, and I stuck with this for the duration of the stay.

Really great breakfast, one of the best we had in the world. The metro station is just on the corner of the building so it is very easy to go anywhere there. Spa, pool, and etc really on high level! Plus live music at evenings... i highly recomends you this hotel!

This was my first time staying at the Hyatt Beijing, as I usually stay at the Mandarin Oriental. Overall, it was a positive experience. While the service isn’t as refined as the Mandarin, you get what you pay for, right? That said, the reception staff and concierge were extremely helpful. I would stay at this hotel again for its convenience—it's close to major attractions like Tiananmen Square, the Forbidden City, and within a reasonable journey to the Great Wall of China. The hotel also offers great amenities, including a shopping mall below, an impressive pool oasis that’s perfect for children, and a well-equipped gym. To top it off, the hotel restaurant serves an excellent Beijing duck.

I recently had the pleasure of staying at Radisson, and I must say it was an exceptional experience from start to finish. The hotel offers top-notch amenities, immaculate rooms, and a warm, welcoming atmosphere that makes you feel right at home. A special shout-out to Michael at reception, who went above and beyond to ensure my stay was perfect. From the seamless check-in process to his helpful recommendations and friendly demeanor, Michael truly exemplifies what outstanding customer service should be. His professionalism and genuine care for guests made a lasting impression. The facilities were excellent, the breakfast was delicious with a great variety of options, and the location was perfect for exploring the city. I highly recommend Radisson to anyone looking for a comfortable and luxurious stay. Thank you, Radisson team, and especially Michael, for making my visit so enjoyable! I will definitely be returning.

Good location near metro. There's 24/7 convenience store downstairs. Room floor using carpet, ideal during winter. No english name outside the hotel so I need to rely on the location from Trip.com. They have robots for housekeeping, gym and paid washing machine

The room is great, but I was unhappy with the service 1. During check in I was asked to make payment for the hotel despite prepayment being made, I had to show the staff that prepayment was made and The counter staff showed no apologies.. 2. For the laundry service, the staff showed a lack of proactive, as the clothes were supposed to be FOLDED and return by next day 6pm.. which was not done, until I gave them a call and realized the payment has to be made first, despite me telling the staff (before passing them the clothes for washing)that I'll make payment upon check out(IN MANDARIN). For a 5 star hotel like this, it is rather disappointing.. which I would not consider staying at Sofitel globally again.
