Mandarin Oriental Qianmen

Beijing, China

• No.14 The World's 50 Best Hotels 2025
• Nikka Best New Hotel Award 2025

At this hotel, you'll luxuriate like an emperor, but feel at home like with family. The standout feature here are its preserved 'siheyuan'-style enclosed courtyards, which, dating back hundreds of years, incorporated abodes for extended family so they could be close, while also allowing privacy. Today, these homes have been transformed into renovated suites, and an ambitious restoration project means over three quarters of their original features have been retained. Elsewhere, the open-air tea house offers classes on Chinese tea ceremonies, while the Qiyuan healing garden is used to guide guests through traditional Chinese gong baths. Beyond the hotel, guest bicycles make it easy to visit landmarks like Beihai Park and the Temple of Heaven, but there's no need to venture far to sightsee: the property has been awarded Unesco's Prix Versailles in recognition of its authentic cultural experiences and design.
