Waldorf Astoria Beijing

Waldorf Astoria Beijing delivers a polished stay behind a contemporary façade in the capital’s older heart. Architecture by Adrian Smith + Gordon Gill references modern hotel form alongside traditional courtyard planning, while Yabu Pushelberg interiors favour lacquered finishes, deep tones and calm restraint. Service runs at an almost one-to-one ratio. Three restaurants, a full spa and a vast heated pool anchor the experience, with hutong villas extending privacy even further.
