"Located in Beijing’s Dongcheng District, the Waldorf Astoria Beijing exceeded my expectations. There was a security checkpoint before reaching reception when we first arrived, which I found a bit unusual since it was not there for the rest of our stay. I assumed it may have been related to a world leader being in town that week. Check-in went well, although our upgraded room was not quite ready upon arrival. While we waited, we stopped for drinks at Peacock Alley, the hotel’s bar, which was spacious and had attentive hostesses that made the experience enjoyable. Once we got to our room, it was clean and felt both elevated and comfortable. The bed was very comfortable, and the robes were a nice touch of luxury that felt on brand for a Waldorf Astoria stay. The daily breakfast buffet was by far the highlight of the experience. The hotel is also in a great location—walkable to so many shops and restaurants, and very easy to find."

"We had a thoroughly delightful stay at the Waldorf Astoria Beijing. The location is absolutely spot-on, making our daily jaunts to the Forbidden City completely effortless. The breakfast spread was top-notch each morning, and both the gym and indoor swimming pool are excellent, well-maintained facilities. The absolute highlight, however, was the impeccable service—most notably from Ms. Katerina, our personal concierge. She looked after us with the utmost care and sorted out an issue we encountered with absolute efficiency. She is a credit to the hotel! Our only slight amusement was the guest hallways, which are rather dark and put one in mind of a bit of a maze 😆. That minor quirk aside, it was a first-class experience, and we shall certainly return."

"Great location, very central and close to forbidden City. Very warm and friendly service. Amazing food at Chinese restaurant and breakfast buffet."

"We had a wonderful visit to the Waldorf hotel in Beijing this May! Hotel service was top notch, and the grounds were very clean. I want to extend a special thank you to Rice Wang for organizing transportation to and from the hotel, as well as to the Great Wall. He was wonderful to work with and went above & beyond in making our trip memorable. Thanks for everything! Wonderful stay."

"Outstanding facility. The Waldorf Astoria lives up to its brand name. Staff, food, atmosphere - all were excellent. The rooms offered every amenity imaginable. We are USA tourists and stayed there 4 nights. The breakfast was particularly outstanding. We ate at the Michelin rated restaurant on the 3rd floor 3 separate times."
