Best hotels in Beijing for couples in 2026

About this list

If you are travelling as a couple, first decide: a hutong stay and Forbidden City views, or a more modern evening in Chaoyang. Mandarin Oriental and Peninsula sit closer to Wangfujing; Éclat and Rosewood work better if you want to stay in for a spa or a private lagoon. A palace view, a couples spa suite, and a courtyard stay depend on the category — check the rate. Ratings on this page are from August 22, 2026 and can change. Check the price for your dates.

Hotel details

1. 

   1 rank

   Mandarin Oriental Wangfujing, Beijing

   Wangfujing, Dongcheng

   10/10

   2,348 reviews

   Why it works for couples

   A compact hotel on the upper floors of WF CENTRAL: Mandarin Rooms face the Forbidden City through floor-to-ceiling windows, MO Bar has an outdoor terrace, and the wellness floor has four spa suites plus a 25-metre skylit pool.

   Highlights

   • Forbidden City view in selected rooms
   • MO Bar terrace

   What to consider

   The Forbidden City outlook is category-specific; the hotel occupies the upper floors of a shopping complex, and spa treatments are best reserved in advance.

   The Peninsula Beijing

   Jinyu Hutong, Wangfujing

   9.8/10

   1,188 reviews

   Why it works for couples

   On Jinyu Hutong near the Forbidden City, the hotel explicitly offers spa suites for couples, plus an 18-metre indoor pool, sauna and steam rooms, and easy evening walks through Wangfujing.

   Highlights

   • Spa suites for couples
   • 18-metre indoor pool
   • Jinyu Hutong by Wangfujing

   What to consider

   The thermal rooms are gender-separated, so they are not a shared couples bath; children under 12 may use the pool only with an adult.

   3 rank

   Waldorf Astoria Beijing

   Jinyu Hutong, Dongcheng

   9.8/10

   2,859 reviews

   Why it works for couples

   The main tower sits in a Wangfujing hutong, with a separate courtyard stay available; the hotel has a spa, an indoor pool, and Peacock Alley for an evening drink after a walk toward the Forbidden City.

   Highlights

   • Hutong setting by Wangfujing
   • Separate courtyard stay in selected categories
   • Spa, indoor pool, and Peacock Alley

   What to consider

   The courtyard and villa are separate categories rather than a standard room; the spa and some services carry extra charges, and the hutong is quieter at night than Sanlitun.

   4 rank

   Hotel Éclat Beijing

   Dongdaqiao, Chaoyang

   10/10

   3,801 reviews

   Why it works for couples

   An art hotel inside Parkview Green: a concierge-led art walk is available to guests, and the Deluxe Lagoon Suite has its own 5-metre terrace lagoon, a jacuzzi, and a separate lounge — a rare private stay format in Beijing.

   Highlights

   • Private lagoon in selected suites
   • Art collection and concierge tour
   • Parkview Green in Chaoyang

   What to consider

   The lagoon is limited to selected suites rather than every room; the hotel sits inside a glass-pyramid mall and is farther from the Forbidden City than Wangfujing.

   5 rank

   Rosewood Beijing

   Hujialou, Chaoyang

   9.8/10

   1,893 reviews

   Why it works for couples

   Sense, A Rosewood Spa and an 830-square-metre indoor pool under a glass dome support a hotel-centred evening, with treatments, a jacuzzi, and quiet rooms with baths.

   Highlights

   • Sense, A Rosewood Spa
   • Large domed indoor pool
   • Rooms with baths and city views

   What to consider

   The hotel sits in business-district Chaoyang, farther from the Forbidden City and the hutongs; the spa asks for advance booking, and a late cancellation can cost the full treatment fee.

   6 rank

   The Orchid

   Baochao Hutong, Gulou

   9.4/10

   673 reviews

   Why it works for couples

   A small courtyard on Baochao Hutong: rooms open to the garden or sit above the rooftops, the Yang Room has its own terrace, and evenings are an easy walk to the Drum and Bell Towers and on toward Houhai.

   Highlights

   • Courtyard on Baochao Hutong
   • Yang Room terrace
   • Walks to Gulou and Houhai

   What to consider

   There is no spa or shared pool; some rooms face the communal courtyard, and arrival is down a narrow lane without parking. For more privacy, choose a King or Yang Room rather than a garden-facing courtyard room.

How to choose

Choose the stay format first. Mandarin Oriental suits a Forbidden City outlook and a terrace evening, but that view is category-specific. Peninsula is the easier pick for couples spa suites and walks from Jinyu Hutong. Consider Waldorf if you want a hutong setting and a separate courtyard stay rather than only a tower room. Éclat is worth it for the art collection and a lagoon in selected suites; Rosewood if you prefer to stay in for the spa and a large indoor pool. The Orchid works for a courtyard stay and an evening walk toward Houhai, without a spa or shared pool. Always verify bed type, view, and inclusions in the exact rate.
