InterContinental Beijing Beichen by IHG  

In the heart of Beijing's Olympic Park, this hotel perches at the northern end of the city's Central Axis. You're within walking distance of the National Stadium (Bird's Nest) and the National Aquatics Center (Water Cube), connected to the China National Convention Center and next to Olympic Forest Park. About 10 km from the city center and with easy links to the airport, the Forbidden City and the Great Wall.

Renovated guest rooms serve modern comfort with unique vistas — select Olympic View Rooms look straight at the Bird's Nest and Water Cube. Expect in-room basics like TV and mini-bar, plus creature comforts such as slippers. The property earned its stripes as an official hotel for both the 2008 Summer and 2022 Winter Olympics, giving the place a confident, contemporary vibe.

Swim in an indoor heated pool and unwind in a full spa complex with massage rooms, sauna and steam bath. A 24-hour fitness center and gym keep routines on track. On-site perks include a bar and lobby lounge, a club lounge, parking, a BBQ area, tour desk and transfer service. Free Wi‑Fi is available across the property.

A business center and event facilities serve meetings and conferences, and the hotel is physically linked to the China National Convention Center for large events. Convenient airport access and property-wide free Wi‑Fi make it a solid pick for work-focused stays.

A varied dining lineup covers cravings — an interactive buffet-style restaurant, a family-style eatery, and a Chinese fusion restaurant led by a master chef. Finish the day with drinks or light bites in the lobby lounge or the vibrant club lounge.
