New World Beijing Hotel

Stylish and sharp-suited, New World Beijing has every flourish you’d expect from a five-star hotel, and room rates that often come in considerably cheaper than its big-name rivals.

It’s also one of the few international-standard hotels within walking distance of the Temple of Heaven and its vast arena of sculpted parkland – ideal for a morning jog or stroll. Tiananmen Square is about the same distance away in the opposite direction.

Among the hotel’s standout features are a wellness floor with pool, sauna and spa, and a stylish rooftop lounge bar, a rarity in the capital.
