A design-focused property steps from the Forbidden City, home to mainland China's first Guerlain flagship spa; rooms from around ¥2,800/night (~$394).
The PuXuan Hotel and Spa sits on Wangfujing Street in Dongcheng District, a short walk from the Forbidden City's eastern wall and the Wangfujing pedestrian shopping street, with easy access to Wangfujing subway station on Line 1. The property occupies a low-rise, courtyard-influenced building designed around a contemplative, art-filled interior that blends contemporary Chinese design motifs with a calm, gallery-like atmosphere rather than the ornate marble common to older luxury hotels in the district. Rooms range from Deluxe Rooms to the Executive Suite and the signature PuXuan Suite, most finished in warm timber and stone with deep soaking tubs and large windows overlooking the hutong rooftops or the hotel's courtyard. Dining centers on a refined all-day restaurant serving Chinese and international menus alongside a lobby lounge for tea and cocktails; breakfast draws on both Cantonese dim sum and Western options. The wellness offering is a standout: mainland China's first Guerlain Spa occupies a dedicated wing with an indoor pool, steam and sauna facilities, and a full menu of Guerlain treatments, complemented by a 24-hour fitness centre. Service leans toward personalized concierge assistance geared at leisure travellers and art collectors, with staff experienced in arranging private Forbidden City access and cultural itineraries.
