Spa experience was partly ok until they actually had to give the massage

Really nice rooms, solid breakfast and fantastic location.

A Hidden Gem in Beijing – A Wonderful Family Stay! Our stay at Xinxiangyayuan was truly special. Tucked away in a quiet, traditional hutong, the hotel feels like a peaceful escape from bustling Beijing. Step through its grand red doors and you’re transported to another era, surrounded by beautiful Chinese architecture and décor, yet with all the modern comforts you could want. What really sets this hotel apart is the staff. Their warmth and attention to detail made us feel welcome throughout our stay. Breakfast was delightful, and afternoon tea became our favorite family ritual. After a morning of sightseeing, we loved returning to an elegant spread of fresh fruit, sweets, tea, and snacks before heading out for dinner. The location is excellent, just a short taxi ride from the Forbidden City, Tiananmen Square, the Temple of Heaven, and some wonderful restaurants. Our comfortable room also had plenty of TV options in both English and Chinese, which the kids appreciated. This was our children’s first trip to Beijing, and staying somewhere that so beautifully reflects the city’s history made it even more memorable. It felt like part of the experience, not just a place to sleep. A heartfelt thank-you to the manager and every member of the staff for making our family’s visit so wonderful. We would happily return and highly recommend Xinxiangyayuan!
