Ascott Raffles City Beijing  

In Dongzhimen, Dongcheng District — a central aparthotel minutes from the Forbidden City, Tiandi Theater and the buzzing Gui Jie Food Street. Dongzhimen transport hub (subway lines 2 and 13) and a light-rail link put the airport about 16 minutes away.

One- to three-bedroom apartments with separate living and dining areas and fully equipped kitchens. Rooms are air-conditioned with 36-inch LCD TVs, in-room entertainment systems and bathrooms that pair deep-soak bathtubs with rainfall showers — modern comfort with subtle local touches.

Indoor pool, hot tub and sauna, plus a fitness center and a residents' lounge for cocktail-style gatherings. Wake up to city views and the nearby aroma of street food.

Business center, express check-in/check-out and complimentary wired and wireless high-speed internet.

An on-site restaurant serves guests (breakfast available for a fee), and you're steps from Gui Jie Food Street and a fashionable mall for a wide range of local and regional flavors.
