While you\u2019ll find options on platforms like <a href=\"https:\/\/booking.stay22.com\/guadiviajando\/8AOj8Acltm\">Booking.com<\/a>, the inventory is significantly smaller. Before locking in a place, keep these key factors in mind. <\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Connectivity and Metro Proximity<\/h3>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Look for a hotel within a 5-to-7-minute walk of a metro station. I strongly recommend prioritizing hotels near Line 2 (the loop line wrapping around the historic centre) or Line 1 (which runs east-west and stops right at Tiananmen Square). On <a href=\"https:\/\/trip.tpo.lv\/kaqyA3i8\">Trip.com<\/a>, hotel titles almost always list the closest metro station right away.  <\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Hotel photos on Trip.com vs reality<\/h3>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I\u2019m not sure if it\u2019s just my perception or if listing a property on <a href=\"https:\/\/trip.tpo.lv\/kaqyA3i8\">Trip.com<\/a> comes with a complimentary professional photoshoot, but hotels always look suspiciously aesthetic on there. Lower your expectations slightly and always cross check real guest photos in the review section. To verify exact distances and check the actual building facade, you can also look up the location directly on <em>Amap<\/em>.  <\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Windowless Hotel Rooms<\/h3>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Trip.com room descriptions are very detailed, they list the exact size in <em>\u33a1<\/em>, the floor level, and explicitly state whether the room has a window or not. Double check your room selection carefully; it\u2019s extremely common for budget or smaller rooms in Beijing to be windowless. For a short stay, it might pass, but if you\u2019re staying for a week, paying for an <em>upgrade<\/em> is well worth it. <\/p>\n\n<div class=\"guadi-alert-box\" style=\"background-color: #FFFFFF; border: 2px solid #E1E2CC; border-radius: 8px; padding: 25px; color: #706F5B; font-family: 'Josefin Sans', sans-serif; line-height: 1.6; font-size: 1.05rem; max-width: 700px; margin: 30px auto;\">\n    <div class=\"guadi-alert-title\" style=\"font-family: 'Varela Round', sans-serif; font-size: 1.25rem; font-weight: bold; margin-top: 0; margin-bottom: 15px; text-transform: uppercase; letter-spacing: 0.5px; color: #706F5B;\">\ud83d\udca1 Heads Up!!!<\/div>\n    \n    <p style=\"margin: 0 0 15px 0;\">Did you know China operates under the <em>Great Firewall<\/em>? This means none of the standard apps or social platforms you use every day (like WhatsApp, Instagram, or Google) will work once you arrive. You must prepare your digital setup<strong> in advance.<\/strong>  <\/p>\n    \n    <p style=\"margin: 0 0 15px 0;\"><strong>\ud83d\udcf2 Get a China eSIM with a built-in VPN: <\/strong>Activate it before boarding your flight. Having travelled to China twice now, I can tell you that trying to improvise with local solutions on my first trip ended badly.

Apple Maps performs slightly better, but missing local business listings makes it unreliable. The definitive navigation app for getting around Beijing is <strong>Amap (Gaode Maps).<\/strong> Download it before your flight and play around with the interface and metro lines so you feel confident when you land.  <\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><em>Which Neighbourhood in Beijing is Best for You? <\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Qianmen: <em>The Historic Heart<\/em><\/h2>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Located right south of Tiananmen Square, Qianmen is a gorgeous historic district that was beautifully restored while preserving its Qing Dynasty architecture.

It\u2019s full of skyscrapers and mostly high end international chain hotels. It\u2019s ideal if you\u2019re travelling for work or if you just prefer the comfort and predictability of a modern, Western-style hotel with stunning panoramic views of the city.  <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You\u2019ve probably come across videos showing off luxury second-hand shopping in Beijing. The main spot for that, the Friendship Store, is right here in Chaoyang. Basically, it\u2019s shopping heaven. <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Favourite Stays:<\/strong> On the luxury side, the <a href=\"https:\/\/trip.tpo.lv\/jhWIOm5v\" title=\"\">Shangri-La<\/a> is unbelievable. It has a great gym, views, and really spacious rooms. If you\u2019re on a slightly tighter budget, <a href=\"https:\/\/trip.tpo.lv\/ZmY6TtJI\" title=\"\">Color and Light<\/a> is lovely and super well located.  <\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Wangfujing: <em>main &#8220;city center&#8221; in Beijing<\/em><\/h2>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This is the ultimate commercial hub of the city, sitting just a short walk from the Forbidden City. It\u2019s super pedestrian friendly, clean, and really convenient if it\u2019s your first time in Beijing and you want a strategic base close to the main historic landmarks.  <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To be honest, to me it feels a bit generic and international. It\u2019s definitely handy, but maybe not the most authentic spot.  <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Nearby Highlights:<\/strong> Wangfujing Pedestrian Street, Forbidden City, Tiananmen Square.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Recommended Stays<\/strong>: <a href=\"https:\/\/trip.tpo.lv\/lCtahEqr\" title=\"\">UrCove by HYATT<\/a> has a stunning terrace, gorgeous rooms, and it\u2019s only around 80 EUROS!

I kept reading everywhere that this was the &#8220;most international&#8221; neighbourhood, but to be fair, it didn&#8217;t really feel like that to me. In fact, I barely saw any tourists around. <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Nearby Highlights:<\/strong> Sanlitun Taikoo Li (an open-air shopping mall), the independent bar scene, and plenty of local bakeries and design studios.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Recommended Stays:<\/strong> I actually stayed in this area myself. I found a super cheap dorm bed around here and booked it without thinking too much about it. <a href=\"https:\/\/trip.tpo.lv\/pxiLXYq8\" title=\"\">It was this one<\/a>. It turned out to be a bit like a student residence\u2014or at least that&#8217;s how it felt, haha. Definitely local, but really clean and organized. If you want more comfort, <a href=\"https:\/\/trip.tpo.lv\/3XZVuthi\" title=\"\">True Go<\/a> offers great amenities for a very fair price considering the service.  <\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Planning to Visit the Great Wall?

However, with a little more research, you can find spectacular, uncrowded spots and even areas that haven\u2019t been renovated. I wrote a detailed article on <em>how to visit the Great Wall on your own\u2014including <a href=\"https:\/\/guadiviajando.com\/en\/great-wall-of-china-at-night\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">seeing it at night<\/a> and even taking a short route through the less crowded areas<\/em> \u2014and <a href=\"https:\/\/guadiviajando.com\/en\/china-wall\/\" title=\"\">I\u2019ve attached it here.<\/a>  <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you follow that guide (which I highly recommend!), make sure to take one night away from your Beijing accommodation so you can spend it near the Wall and catch it lit up at night! <\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What\u2019s the Deal with Sleeping in a 24 Hour Spa in China?<\/h2>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Mmmmmh, you probably weren&#8217;t expecting this one, but did you know you can actually spend the night in a spa? It\u2019s a super popular concept in China. <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Basically, you pay an <strong>entry fee<\/strong> that gives you full access to <strong>saunas, thermal pools, lounge areas with massive recliners, games zones, books, and in most places, an unlimited fresh fruit and drinks bar.<\/strong> The bigger and more modern complexes even include ice cream, full food buffets, cinema rooms, and private pods to sleep in. On average, it costs around 20 EUR.   <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It\u2019s an awesome option if you\u2019re landing in the early hours of the morning or if you&#8217;ve got a long overnight layover in Beijing and want something a bit different and way more relaxing than sitting around at the airport.<\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Frequently Asked Questions | Where to Stay in Beijing<\/h2>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How many days do you need in Beijing?<\/h3>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I recommend at least <strong>4 full days<\/strong>. Beijing has so much history and the internal travel times are no joke; anything less will feel like a total rush and you won&#8217;t get a chance to actually absorb it all. <\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Do hotels in Beijing accept foreign guests?<\/h3>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Keep an eye out for this! In China, by law, not all accommodations are allowed to host international guests. The good news is that platforms like <a href=\"https:\/\/trip.tpo.lv\/kaqyA3i8\" title=\"\"><em>Trip.com<\/em><\/a> list hotels that are already approved for foreigners. But if you&#8217;re booking through another site, double check with them beforehand so you don&#8217;t run into any issues at check-in.  <\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Is it worth booking a hotel with breakfast included?<\/h3>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In my opinion, no. Unless you&#8217;re staying at a big international chain, a traditional Chinese breakfast is very different from what you might be used to back home. Personally, I&#8217;m just not up for noodle soup, steamed <em>baozi<\/em>, or rice porridge with savoury toppings at 8:00 AM.  <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Plus, the main reason not to tie yourself to hotel breakfasts is that <strong>Beijing is packed with incredible specialty coffee shops<\/strong> <strong>and cute local spots<\/strong>. Heading out early to grab breakfast is the perfect excuse to start exploring the neighbourhood right away. <\/p>\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Continuing Your Trip Around China?<\/h4>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Beijing was actually my very first stop in China. What started as a quick layover turned into a 7-day trip around the North East. I was terrified at first, honestly. With all the app restrictions, the language barrier, and just how different everything felt, I had that classic pre-trip panic. If you&#8217;re feeling that right now, you probably get what I mean! That\u2019s why I wrote a complete guide with everything you need to know before visiting China to take that stress away.   <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A couple of months later, I went back to China for a month with my parents and my boyfriend; we started off at the <a href=\"https:\/\/guadiviajando.com\/en\/harbin-itinerary-4-days\/\">Harbin<\/a> Ice Festival (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=kqoFLV_Yj90\" title=\"\"><em>we made an awesome video for YouTube<\/em><\/a>), then traveled on to Shanghai, Hunan, Chongqing, Chengdu, Guilin, and ended our trip in Shenzhen. Micha and I said goodbye to China in <a href=\"https:\/\/guadiviajando.com\/guia-completa-hong-kong\/\" title=\"\">Hong Kong<\/a> and fell in love with <a href=\"https:\/\/guadiviajando.com\/en\/taiwan-guide\/\" title=\"\">Taiwan<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I&#8217;m currently writing and updating guides for all these places, but if you&#8217;re planning a trip to any of them and don&#8217;t see an article up yet, just drop me a message on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/guadiviajando\/\" title=\"\">Instagram at @guadiviajando<\/a> and I&#8217;ll gladly help you out! <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That\u2019s a wrap on where to stay in Beijing. Go explore the Wall, check out the palaces, and wander through as many hutongs as you can. Safe travels and see you somewhere around the globe! <\/p>\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"has-text-align-right wp-block-paragraph\"><em><strong>Guadi.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Beijing\u2019s scale is something you can\u2019t fully grasp until you set foot in it.
