Wanda Yi - Beijing Qianmen

Wanda Yi - Beijing Qianmen places travellers in one of Beijing’s most atmospheric central districts, close to the Qianmen axis, Dashilan’s old commercial lanes and the broad approach toward Tiananmen Square. The hotel suits visitors who want a practical base with a contemporary Chinese business-hotel feel rather than a resort setting. Interiors are modern and orderly, with rooms designed around clear lines, comfortable bedding, work space and the usual urban essentials for a short stay. Breakfast and casual dining are typically arranged in a straightforward in-house setting, while the surrounding neighbourhood offers a dense choice of local noodle shops, roast duck restaurants, teahouses and small bakeries. Transport links around Qianmen and Zhushikou make it convenient for the Forbidden City, Temple of Heaven and Beijing South Railway Station. It is a sensible address for sightseeing days that begin early and end in a lively, lived-in part of the capital.
