Walking distance to Tiananmen Square! Stay here in Beijing, the location is incredible

Heyuan Zhixin Courtyard is a three-section siheyuan (traditional courtyard house) originally built during the Ming Dynasty. After 600 years, it still preserves the layout and charm of traditional northern Chinese residences. In the mid-20th century, it was one of the residences of Mei Lanfang, the grand master of Beijing Opera, with every brick and tile soaked in the artistic atmosphere of cultural celebrities. Today, after professional restoration, the courtyard maintains its ancient architectural style while incorporating modern livable design. It strictly follows the traditional Beijing courtyard regulations of "ceiling, fish tank, and pomegranate tree," with three successive courtyards creating a rare "living cultural heritage" in the core Wangfujing area. All guest rooms offer a "small but exquisite" luxury experience. Courtyard suites feature private yards and are furnished with Ming and Qing style furniture and custom bedding. Themed rooms celebrate "Mei School Beijing Opera" and "Hutong Memories," with walls decorated with hand-painted opera costumes or old Beijing maps. Family rooms preserve the original wooden sloped ceiling structure with skylights bringing in natural light, perfect for families with children. All rooms are equipped with King Koil mattresses, BOSE sound systems, and handcrafted intangible cultural heritage toiletry sets, with some rooms featuring private soaking tubs. Breakfast is served in the courtyard, featuring traditional Beijing specialties including douzhir (fermented mung bean milk), jiaoquan (fried ring-shaped dough), and sugar-oil cake, with Western light meals also available. Afternoon tea includes Beijing Opera facial mask latte art paired with the imperial court snack "Beijing Eight Pieces," creating a ceremonial experience. Main meals are prepared by hutong chefs, offering either Tan Family Imperial Cuisine or Mei Family Banquet. The hotel enjoys an excellent location, within walking distance of Wangfujing Commercial Street, Tiananmen Square, the Forbidden City, and Jingshan Park. The surrounding area is filled with restaurants ranging from time-honored establishments to trending spots, satisfying diverse culinary preferences. Heyuan Zhixin Courtyard is not just a place to stay but a cultural feast that transports you to the Ming and Qing dynasties. It combines the traditional Beijing atmosphere of "ceiling, fish tank, and pomegranate tree" with modern refined hospitality, truly a hidden paradise in the heart of Wangfujing.
