Shangri-La Beijing Hotel I have previously stayed at Shangri-La Hotels in Tianjin, Qufu and Beijing Shougang. This was my first stay at Shangri-La Beijing although I have previously visited the hotel. Indeed, having seen the hotel and what it had to offer, I desired to stay there. This was achieved during the recent week-long National Holiday. What had impressed me on my initial visits particularly was the vast, 3000 sq.metre enclosed garden at the rear of of the hotel. It incorporates traditional architecture inspired by the nearby Summer Palace. There also is a feeling of Suzhou gardens. It is indeed a beautiful asset for the hotel and can be viewed both from the spacious lobby lounge and from Cafe Cha where an extensive breakfast buffet is available. The garden creates a feeling of relaxation, something I have appreciated after a busy period before the holiday. During warmer weather a garden bar operates with outdoor seating. The hotel has a long history. The earlier Garden Wing, one of the first top-end hotels in Beijing. The newer Valley Wing where I stayed. Both offer the very high standards of comfort, facilities and service associated with the Shangri-La brand across China and internationally. As a Shangri-La Circle member I was upgraded to use the facilities of Valley Wing’s 12th floor Executive Lounge - which was really appreciated. Excellent views across western Beijing, the lounge offered a relaxing environment for work or just to sit with a drink or evening buffet while watching the sunset over Beijing’s Western Hills. Lynn, the lounge manager, and her excellent team ensured quality service with the friendship I have come to associate with Shangri-La hotels. I spent many evenings in that lounge, appreciating the relaxing, welcoming environment - I was quite sad finally leaving - although I am certain I will return, hopefully soon. The hotel has a range of dining experiences including the excellent AZUR French fine cuisine restaurant which offers also a range of superb wines. Within a short distance are some great locations, including historic Zizhuyuan (Purple Bamboo Garden) created around a vast lake. I visited the park several times, including a delightful temple of the same name. Alongside nearby Nanchanghe Canal is historic Wanshousi Temple. All within very beautiful locations. I was impressed by the reaction of the staff to the hotel guests - we were treated with friendship and genuine feelings of welcome. We had an excellent, friendly, room attendant, Li Hui Xian, who kept the bedroom and bathroom spotlessly clean during her morning visits. The room had floor to ceiling windows allowing very extensive, panoramic views. I was delighted to be met on arrival by the hotel’s Director of Sales and Marketing, Wendy Sia who introduced the facilities available, and who regularly checked to ensure everything was going smoothly during the stay. Indeed I can say that all staff who I came in contact with were very friendly, helpful and certainly professional. Would I return to this hotel - certainly, not least to enjoy the magnificent garden but also to enjoy again the company of its staff who really helped create the feeling that this is a great hotel to spend time when in Beijing. The hotel, very much in keeping with what is expected from Shangri-La. Thanks to everyone there for such an excellent week having a Beijing ‘staycation’.

This hotel is massive, good, friendly and well worth staying in. Olivia at the guest services took us aside and made our check-in hassle free. The room was set up for our three small kids and they felt immediately at home. Room a little dated but competent, the west building has newer rooms. The breakfast buffet is the biggest I’ve seen, (it even had sushi for heavens sake!) with the freshest soup bar, and many other hot dishes as well as more European offerings. It’s includes a kids breakfast zone too. After breakfast head to Beijing zoo, as it’s a must with kids because of the Panda bears. This was their highlight. The lounge at level 12 helped me cope with travelling with kids. The pool is cold for the kids but has a great spa for adults. Overall a good stay, excellent service team especially the Lounge staff.

Stayed I we the weekend together with family, including 2 teenagers and a 10 year old. The staff was absolutely amazing! Very attentive and friendly, always sincerely wanting to ensure that our stay was at its best.
We went to Beijing with a packed schedule, with the only thing in mind to tick off as many attractions as possible. We are used to travels, and unless you head for a tourist place and resort, we have little to no expectations on hotels as it’s primary everything else you head there for.
Shangri-la in Beijing is different! We ended up wishing we’d stayed longer in the hotel and less on tourist attractions. When it was time to go home to shanghai, the kids didn’t even want to check out :)
It turned out that the stay at Shangri-la was at Least the same memorable thing as the attractions themselves, which i don’t think my family has ever come across before.
Head there and you won’t be disappointed!!

My stay at the hotel was marred by unexpected financial burdens and discomfort. To my dismay, I was required to place a hefty deposit of 2000 Yuan at check-in—a stipulation that was not made clear beforehand. This inconvenience was compounded when I extended my stay online, resulting in an additional deposit for the second night. To date, the hotel has not issued a refund for these deposits, which I find unacceptable. Moreover, the room's air conditioning was non-functional, and the staff's suggestion to simply open the windows was unsatisfactory, especially considering the hotel's reputation.

Spent a night in one of the Executive suites in the Garden Wing, the original building. There is a certain warmth about this wing that I find really endearing. Firstly, I got an amazing rate on the hotel website as a Golden Circle member, the hotel's reward program. Secondly, the Club Lounge really delivers with a fabulous group of staff. I have to single out Phyllis, manager on duty during my stay for thinking out of the box, Jet and Summer, for consistently engaging service and Sara, who was simply wonderful in dealing with whom I perceived to be an impolite guest. Also, Alan Wang from housekeeping who serves with such joy. Lastly, it was good to see the hotel almost back to normal with many services available, post-COVID. For example, what a pleasure it was to have a coffee at 10h45pm in the Club Lounge. For me, value for money and warm, personalised service matter and that is what I had this time. I will be back and back again.

This is a great Hotel but once you leave the hotel, the language barrier can be difficult. In hindsight we should have tried to get a local SIM card for our phone. But not having done our research, we were left with no phone signal once we left the hotel’s WiFi. Even with WiFi many of the normal apps are blocked. Navigating around without the phones maps and translating apps was frustrating. It’s difficult to hail taxis, most people use Uber. The hotels Concierge department were a god save. They done all they could to get us around and back to the hotel, where there was no problem with communicating. But regarding the hotel, we had no problems. The room was lovely, as too were the hotel itself and the grounds. The staff were great, especially the Concierge department. I would definitely stay in this hotel again, but only if China became a bit more welcoming.

My husband and I stayed at the Shangri-La for our birthday weekend. Rooms were clean, staff were friendly, grounds were beautiful and the breakfast buffet was delicious. But what impressed us the most is that upon check-in, we didn't mention it was our birthdays. The next day, Jet, Phyllis and Maggie from Guest Relations surprised us with a delicious chocolate mousse cake and a homemade birthday card. Such a small gesture made a huge impact on our stay there. Thank you for a memorable staycation!

wow,Tsinghua University is the top! The hotel is really close to the university town.so wont be far to the THU. The nearest subway station still spend about 8minus to walk. I recommend take taxi to the subway station, and then take subway to downtown. Thats a nice hotel and good service.

Yes, you are close to many restaurants, but most are fast food, although tasty. There are few places to visit within walking distance, and not so interesting. My suggestion is that you ask the hotel's excellent front desk staff and concierge. They will help you to map out an itinerary for you to visit, for example, great museums and the Forbidden City. You will need to take a taxi or, perhaps, hire a driver who speaks English. Rely on the hotel staff. They are most helpful and attentive. Good luck!
There are more places to choose from in the Beijing area.
