Wangfujing
Contemporary Asian luxury. Sleek walnut, silk and soft neutrals. Subtle Chinese accents without going heavy-handed on the chinoiserie. Feels more like a high-design urban sanctuary than a heritage property.
Ask specifically for a Forbidden City-facing room when booking — not all rooms have the view and it makes a significant difference
Why It Matters
One of only a handful of hotels in Beijing with direct Forbidden City sightlines from rooms and terraces. Sitting atop WF CENTRAL, it's also one of the most strategically located luxury properties in the city — minutes from Tiananmen Square, with Wangfujing Street below.
Perched on the top floors of the prestigious WF CENTRAL building, Mandarin Oriental Wangfujing sits directly above Beijing's main shopping strip with unobstructed sight lines to the Forbidden City. The 73 rooms and suites — designed by Hirsch Bedner Associates — are among the largest in the city, starting at 55 sqm and blending contemporary design with subtle Chinese references. There's no outdoor pool or gardens to speak of; what you're paying for is the address, the views, and the signature MO service.

9 room types available
Deluxe Suite
At 100 sqm, this suite faces south over the Beijing cityscape with panoramic floor-to-ceiling views. Separate living and sleeping areas, spa-like bathroom with an oversized rain shower. A solid option if you want suite space without necessarily needing a Forbidden City view.
100 sqm
Garden Suite
The 100 sqm suite comes with an extraordinary 300 sqm courtyard-style terrace — effectively a private outdoor space in the middle of central Beijing. Ideal for entertaining or morning yoga with city views. Sumptuous spa-like bathroom inside.
100 sqmMandarin Room
Spacious rooms with the defining feature of a direct Forbidden City view through floor-to-ceiling windows. Light and airy contemporary design, spa-like bathroom. The view alone justifies the step-up from a standard Superior Room.

94 sqmPresidential Suite
The 260 sqm crown jewel, with a 300 sqm private terrace overlooking the Forbidden City.

Absolute top-end pricing.
260 sqmSuperior Room
The entry-level room at MO Wangfujing, and still a generous 55 sqm. Contemporary residential design with a large designer table, marble-tiled bathroom featuring an oversized rain shower, double basins, and Diptyque toiletries. City views rather than Forbidden City.
