Appaullo Posted June 25, 2009 Report Share Posted June 25, 2009 Hey all, leaving for Shenzhen via Hong Kong this saturday. The wife and I are going to Beijing for a week while I am in China. A while back someone posted on this site a link to pictures of a little hotel they stayed at in Beijing. It was a cozy little small place, it looked like all first floor. I have looked but cant find it. If anyone can link the thread for me I would appreciate it greatly. Thanks in advance! Appaullo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whome? Posted June 25, 2009 Report Share Posted June 25, 2009 I've stayed here before .. same location as Jesse talked about. It is in the Hutong (Old city) section of Beijing. Nice park/lake with lots of bars/resturants along the lake for nightlife but also close to many attractions in Beijing. Gives a feel of old Peking. http://www.booking.com/hotel/cn/beijing-hu...CFZcwpAodywL-BQ this may be the one jesse talked about..I have seen it but not stayed in it. Looked nice. The nice time I go to Beijing I will stay here. http://www.tripadvisor.com/Hotel_Review-g2...el-Beijing.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HKG Posted June 25, 2009 Report Share Posted June 25, 2009 Suggestion for hotel: The Red Wall Hotel, three types of rooms, one of which is a "Chinese Traditional" near the Forbidden City's back gate, book online, save $. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

usaRichard Posted June 26, 2009 Report Share Posted June 26, 2009 There is a wonderful hotel near the attractions, that has an old-style courtyard in the older neighborhoods. It's close to the Olympic Village and the Forbidden City. In my view, it was much nicer to stay in this hotel, than the grand high-rises that predominate the landscape. i don't know how this is possible, maybe a spacetime warp has occured but the FC is not near the OV, well depending on your definition of near...

If by FC, you mean the Forbidden City, you're right. It's not like they are right next to each other. However, the Olympic Village the the Forbidden City are all in the same general area, and easy to get to.

The Bird's Nest and the Forbidden City are separated by about 5-6 miles. That's a long walk, or relatively quick ride by cab, bus, or train.

This was about a 10-15 minute WALK for us (Chongwenmen - next station to the Railway station - to Tiananmen).

The hotels in the Hutong area are basically in the middle point from FC to OV. The drum tower (worth seeing at least once) is in the same area. This would classify as one of the few places you could stay in Beijing where those two attractions are relatively close to your hotel. Otherwise you will be close to one or the other with the second one far away .. as you described. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
