I stayed in a deluxe room – spacious, bright, and thoughtfully laid out. The bed was incredibly comfortable, with just the right firmness, ensuring a restful sleep. The room was well-equipped with a smart toilet, Dyson hairdryer, and a Nespresso machine. Enjoying a cup of coffee by the window at night with the city lights was pure bliss. The bathroom had a separate wet and dry area, complete with a large bathtub – perfect for soaking away the fatigue after a day of exploring.
💪【Top-Notch Facilities】
- Gym: Fully stocked with state-of-the-art cardio and strength-training equipment. I started each morning with a workout, leaving me energized for the day ahead.
- Indoor Pool: The water temperature was perfect, and the pool was impeccably clean. Sunlight streaming through the glass created a shimmering effect, making it a beautiful place to swim. Post-swim, lounging on the deck chairs with a drink was pure relaxation.
- Executive Lounge: Available for guests in executive rooms or suites, offering a quiet retreat with complimentary afternoon tea, cocktails, and delicious snacks. An evening drink here with friends was the perfect way to unwind.
🍽【Delicious Dining】
- Breakfast: An extensive spread featuring both Chinese and Western options – from freshly made noodles and dumplings to pastries, ham, yogurt, and fruit. The made-to-order omelets and waffles were a highlight, fueling me for the day.
- Chinese Restaurant: Specializing in high-quality Chinese cuisine, their Peking duck is a must-try – crispy skin, tender meat, served with pancakes, scallions, cucumber, and hoisin sauce. The braised pork belly was also exceptional, melt-in-your-mouth tender and perfectly balanced.
- Western Restaurant: Offering authentic international dishes, including pasta, pizza, and steak. The steak was juicy and cooked to perfection, especially with the black pepper sauce.
📌【Handy Tips】
- Book Early: Especially during peak travel seasons or holidays, as rooms sell out quickly. Early bookings may also snag discounts.
- Membership Perks: Hilton Honors members enjoy benefits like points redemption and late check-out – worth signing up for in advance.
- Getting Around: The metro is the most convenient option, with the station nearby. For taxis, ride-hailing apps are recommended to avoid unlicensed cabs.
- Local Eats: Explore nearby food spots for authentic Beijing flavors like zhajiangmian (noodles with fried sauce), lu zhu (stewed offal), and douzhi (fermented mung bean juice).
