Hotel Review | Hilton Beijing Wangfujing
Hilton Beijing Wangfujing, which opened in 2008, the year of the Beijing Olympics, was once a flagship hotel in Beijing and was my mother's first choice when she visited Beijing more than a decade ago. Although its reputation has changed in recent years, Hilton Beijing Wangfujing still has a unique and irreplaceable charm in Beijing, where there are many old hotels and the maintenance is generally average.
1. Superior location
It is close to Wangfujing Street and Jinyu Hutong, and within walking distance of Tiananmen Square and the Forbidden City, making it extremely convenient for guests to experience Beijing's iconic landmarks up close.
2. Comfortable room experience
I stayed in a 75-square-meter executive suite with a great view, overlooking the CBD and Drum Tower, and a close-up view of the hutongs, Peninsula, WA, and Legendale. The minibar is free, and they also provide Perrier water. The TV is a Samsung smart TV with a very high-definition picture. The room service response time is very fast. Although the room hardware is a bit old, it is still very comfortable to stay in.
3. Relaxing lounge atmosphere
The lounge has a great view during the day, with views of Tiananmen Square, the Great Hall of the People, and the National Centre for the Performing Arts, and at night, the view of the Bell Tower is also very nice. The lounge is very quiet most of the time, making it ideal for working. The quality of the happy hour is excellent, although there are not many varieties, they are very delicate, and the drinks are very rich, with Voss mineral water and sparkling water.
4. Unique wellness center
The gym is not large, and there are not many types of equipment, but the wellness area is often available for private use. The pool changing room is a bit crowded with more than two people, and there is only one shower, but the pool itself is small but beautiful, and the low-chlorine water treatment technology of Dream Blue is introduced, which makes swimming feel very good, especially recommended for a swim at night.
5. Delicious breakfast
The breakfast is not very rich, but it tastes very good, especially the beef noodles. The only downside is that there are only two kinds of freshly squeezed juice, and it would be perfect if there were more options for guests to choose from.
Overall, Hilton Beijing Wangfujing is well worth a visit. Whether in the room or the lounge, as soon as you look up, those iconic buildings will come into view, allowing guests to travel through the memories and culture of the imperial city and temporarily escape from the trivialities of everyday life.
