Astoria Beijing
Contemporary luxury meeting ancient Chinese courtyard grandeur. Art Deco bones with Eastern aesthetics — think black lacquer, silk panels, contemporary Chinese art, and a building that ages like fine bronze.
Request a west-facing room on an upper floor for views of the Forbidden City and Beihai Park — not all rooms offer this and it's worth asking specifically.
Why It Matters
Home to Zijin Mansion, a Michelin one-star Cantonese restaurant earning that honor for five consecutive years through 2025. Also notable for its one-of-a-kind hutong villas — genuine Ming Dynasty-inspired courtyard residences with private pools built into the hotel's footprint. The building's copper-bronze facade, designed by the same firm behind the Shanghai Tower, is becoming a landmark in its own right.
A copper-and-bronze tower designed by Adrian Smith + Gordon Gill Architecture rising over the ancient Wangfujing district — this is not a hotel that does things by halves. The interiors, by Yabu Pushelberg, layer black lacquer and red-and-gold accents with Suzhou silk walls and gold-flecked marble, pulling off a look that's both deeply Chinese and unmistakably Waldorf. Add a Michelin-starred restaurant, Ming Dynasty-inspired hutong villas with private pools, and some of the most attentive service in Beijing, and you have a strong case for best-in-class in the capital.
