Waldorf Astoria Beijing
Blending Eastern charm with contemporary luxe




Enjoying a prime position in Wangjujing, one of Beijing’s most popular street-food and shopping areas for tourists and locals alike, is the Waldorf Astoria Beijing. Here, Ming-era stylistic touches influence the decor, spreading through the property’s 176 rooms. Drawing particular attention is the hotel’s separate wing, where the Hutong Studios and zenith of accommodations, the three-floor Waldorf Astoria Hutong Villa, can be found. On hand to sate the heartiest appetite are continental options at Brasserie 1893, Cantonese specialities at Jijin Mansion or sweet-toothed choices from the hotel’s own patissiers.
