Nousland Beijing is a contemporary luxury hotel in Tongzhou, on Beijing’s eastern side, well placed for guests focusing on Universal Studios Beijing and the cultural stops around the Grand Canal area. The setting is quieter than the historic centre, with broad roads, new development and a practical sense of space. The hotel’s Art Deco character gives the interiors a composed, polished feel rather than a themed resort mood. Rooms are air-conditioned and designed for comfortable short or longer stays, with minibars, espresso makers, LCD televisions, Wi-Fi, safes and kettles; bathrooms include bathrobes and either bathtubs or showers. Dining is spread across three restaurants, with a coffee shop and limited-hour room service adding flexibility. An indoor pool, fitness centre, concierge service, luggage storage, laundry support and self-parking round out a hotel that suits families, business travellers and visitors using Tongzhou as a calm base for eastern Beijing.
