The Beijing Jintai Hotel Bamboo Garden Branch is tucked away in a hutong, which was one reason I chose it. The moment you step into the courtyard and walk toward the lobby, it’s like discovering a secret garden—lush, unexpected, and absolutely enchanting. It was such a beautiful surprise. The entire space feels like a peaceful retreat in the middle of the city. Just a minute’s walk outside the hotel walls is Jiugulou Street, with its shops and restaurants.
The friendly staff, including uniformed valets and doormen, the immaculately kept grounds, and the classic, retro-style rooms make staying here feel like stepping back into a more refined and graceful era. Everything together felt classy, welcoming, and timeless.
If you’re looking for a hotel that blends a great location, impeccable service, lovely gardens, and classic Beijing character, you’ve found the perfect place.
