Waldorf Astoria Hotel

Add to wishlist Contact us

The striking, contemporary exterior of The Waldorf Astoria stands in contrast to the soft and elegant interior where sleek modern art combines with oriental charm. The 176 rooms are spacious and stylish with most located in the main, modern building and a few in a separate wing, in the style of a hutong courtyard.

Butler service and access to a private terrace or courtyard garden are all an option. With a wonderfully central location, guests at the Waldorf can easily explore the highlights of the city or relax in the spa or by the heated pool.

Why we like Waldorf Astoria Hotel

The location of the Waldorf Astoria is hard to beat and the style and feel of the hotel are those of a boutique retreat in the middle of a bustling city. The hutong courtyard wing offers the chance for a more traditional experience.

Facilities

  • Heated indoor swimming pool
  • Fitness Centre
  • Spa
  • Two gastronomic restaurants serving a range of continental and Cantonese cuisine
  • Patisserie

Activities

A stay at the Waldorf Astoria is all about the culture and ancient sites of Beijing which are right on the doorstep.

Location

The location of the Waldorf Astoria is in the heart of Beijing and puts guests just steps away from popular shopping, nightlife and historic attractions like Tiananmen Square and the Forbidden City.

Paul put together our trip very quickly, within a month of leaving! He did a great job and we loved the little add ons such as a cookery class and fan making. All of the guides, drivers and vehicles were amazing.
