Beijing
Contemporary luxury with deliberate nods to traditional Chinese elegance. Aubergine and earthy tones, warm woods, marble everywhere. Polished and formal without being cold — think imperial grandeur made functional for business and leisure travelers alike.
Book a high-floor room (12th floor and above) — the Forbidden City rooftop views make a meaningful upgrade over standard city-facing rooms below
Why It Matters
One of central Beijing's few true luxury hotels with direct Forbidden City views from upper floors, plus a Michelin-starred restaurant (Lei Garden) and Morton's of Chicago under one roof. Recognized by Forbes in 2023 and 2025 as one of the finest five-star luxury hotels globally, and winner of World Travel Awards: China's Leading Business Hotel 2023.
Regent Beijing occupies a prime spot in Dongcheng District, directly above Dengshikou subway station on Line 5, about a 15-minute walk from the Forbidden City. The 19-floor property opened in 2007 with 496 rooms and suites featuring warm wood furnishings, marble bathrooms, and floor-to-ceiling windows. On the upper floors, those windows frame actual rooftop views of the imperial palace complex — that is the draw here, full stop. Eight restaurants and bars (including a Michelin-starred Cantonese room and Morton's of Chicago), a 25-meter indoor pool, and a top-floor Regent Club round out one of Beijing's most comprehensively equipped luxury hotels.
Where You'll Stay
8 room types available
Chairman Suite
On the 19th floor — the highest in the building — with commanding views of the Beijing skyline and Forbidden City that are genuinely hard to beat. The four-poster canopy bed with fine linen, a private steam room, and a private gym make this the hotel's ultimate room. At 360 sqm with all that, it earns its name.
1 King · 360 sqmClassic Room
Located on floors 6 through 11, these are the entry-level rooms and they are not small. Wall-to-wall windows look over the Wangfujing area below, and the marble bathroom comes with a freestanding tub and rain shower. A palette of calming hues and modern furnishings — functional and comfortable, though the décor shows its 2007 origins more here than elsewhere in the property.
1 King or 2 Twins · 45 sqm
Classic Room High Floor
Same layout and size as the Classic Room but on floors 12 through 19. The extra elevation makes a real difference: large floor-to-ceiling windows deliver proper views of central Beijing, and on the highest floors, hints of the Forbidden City's roof tiles appear. Same marble bathroom and calming palette as lower floors.

Forbidden City View Suite
This is the suite you book when the view is the whole point. On the upper floors, the floor-to-ceiling windows look directly over the Forbidden City's golden rooftops — one of the more extraordinary hotel views in any city. Separate living, sleeping, and dining areas are furnished with traditional Chinese-influenced pieces. At 135 sqm, it genuinely feels residential.
1 King · 135 sqmPresidential Suite
Among the hotel's most spacious accommodations at 360 sqm, the Presidential Suite is dressed in traditional handcrafted Chinese furniture throughout — actual antique-style pieces, not generic hotel décor. There is a private sauna and a four-poster canopy bed. Stately without being stuffy.
1 King · 360 sqmRegent Club
At 60 sqm, these are the featured room category and the most popular upgrade step. Natural light floods through floor-to-ceiling windows; inside you get warm wood furnishings, plush carpets, and a large dedicated work area that actually works for business travelers. Club access is included, unlocking the top-floor lounge with champagne breakfast, afternoon tea, painting classes, and cocktail hours.
1 King or 2 Twins · 60 sqmRegent Club Suite
A versatile suite with bedroom and living area separated by a sliding door — useful for families or anyone who wants to keep work and rest distinct. Two oversized windows flood the space with light. Warm woods and earthy tones feel calming rather than fussy. Club access included.
1 King or 2 Twins · 75 sqmWangfujing Suite
The only room in the hotel with a private outdoor terrace, and at 280 sqm it is generously proportioned. The terrace overlooks the city and gives a rare open-air vantage point above one of Beijing's busiest commercial streets. Refined furnishings throughout, modern amenities, and a layout that makes it easy to decompress after long days of sightseeing.
