Adjacent to the East Gate of the Summer Palace grounds, Aman at Summer Palace is housed in a series of dwellings, most of which date back over 100 years.
The 51 rooms and suites are elegant yet undeniably Chinese and surround internal courtyards crisscrossed by pathways, separating formal gardens of bamboo and indigenous trees. The decor pays homage to the traditional Chinese architecture of the Summer Palace.
The location really is something special and the hotel blends perfectly with its surroundings so it’s like stepping back in time. Such a majestic setting and of course the normal luxury and superb service provided by the Aman group.
Away from the host of sightseeing available in Beijing there are some lovely activities available within the hotel. Try your hand at Chinese paper cutting and tai chi or learn more about the tradition of tea ceremonies. There are daily film showings every day.
Located metres from the Summer Palace, around 30 minutes’ drive from central Beijing and one hour from the airport.

The design and operation of this holiday was excellent and took us to places that we had hardly heard of. A great experience and opportunity to sample " Old China" before it becomes overcrowded. We were very happy with the whole procedure.
