Beijing, China
Official star rating:
If the sky’s the limit this is Beijing’s best luxury hotel, offering priceless views of the Forbidden City and palatial guest rooms equipped with every luxury imaginable, from grand four-poster beds to Dyson-branded hairdryers.
Built from the ground up in 2018, it’s a small hotel by Beijing standards (around 70 rooms) which means service always feels warm and personal. The Forbidden City and Tiananmen Square are both comfortably walkable from the hotel’s front door, making it a great location for first-timers to the city.
A see-and-be-seen cocktail bar and steakhouse share a glam terrace with killer Forbidden City views.
The Mandarin Oriental is on the quieter side of Wangfujing Dajie, a pedestrianised shopping avenue that attracts legions of Chinese tourists year-round.
The property shares the same building as WF Central, a glam mall home to big name boutiques and lots of restaurants – everything from upscale Peking duck to U.S. import The Cheesecake Factory.
The area is well-served by subway stations, and it’s relatively easy to pick up a taxi from the front entrance.
