Beijing 2303 in S&N Hotel  

Perched on the hillside of Dongling Mountain in Qingshui Town, Mentougou District — about 1,415 m above sea level — this red-brick mountain B&B feels like a secret patch of highland paradise. Popular hiking routes like Lingshan are on the doorstep, and the property listing also notes the Summer Palace among nearby sights.

Vintage-meets-modern red brick architecture pops against green peaks. Rooms are simple, warm and tidy with dry/wet separated bathrooms and guest supplies ready; all-weather floor heating and 24-hour hot water keep winters cozy, while summer temps stay 10–12° cooler than downtown Beijing.

Stay active with a fitness center and ski transfer for winter slopes, or roam 132 acres of aerial meadow and 49 acres of birch forest for fresh-air hikes. There’s an elevator, laundry service, and endless sunrise-and-stars moments — wake up to cloud-swept sunrises over pine and birch.

A conference hall handles meetings and small events, making the spot suitable for business groups who want mountain views with their agenda.

An on-site restaurant and B&B kitchen dish up regional flavors: Qingshui Town tofu, fresh vermicelli (fentiao), farmed poultry, charcoal-roasted lamb and wild mountain vegetables. It’s simple, hearty local cooking that pairs perfectly with post-hike cravings.
