Beijing Sanlitun
Contemporary luxury with a sharp design edge. The whole property leans into gloss, brass, and geometry. Social and fashion-forward without being a party hotel — this is Sanlitun done properly.

Why It Matters
One of Beijing's stronger design-forward luxury hotels with a genuinely Michelin-recognised steakhouse (CHAR Bar & Grill, Black Pearl One Diamond recipient) on-site, a floral afternoon tea bar in collaboration with high-end florist CLORIS FLORAL, and a Club lounge on the 22nd floor with full panoramic city views.
A 22-floor glass tower that opened in August 2016 right in the heart of Sanlitun — Beijing's most fashion-forward neighbourhood. The interior design draws from a diamond concept, with metallic brass grilles and a play of light that runs through the entire building. It's Forbes four-star rated, Michelin-recognised for its dining, and sits a short walk from Taikoo Li shopping. Adjacent to the Embassy district and CBD, which makes it equally convenient for business travellers who also want to step out and actually enjoy Beijing at night.
Where You'll Stay
6 room types available
Ambassador Suite
An executive-level suite at 90 sqm with a full living and dining area. High-floor placement adds to the open, transparent feel. Good for extended stays or anyone who wants a proper residential-scale layout without going all the way to Presidential.
1 King Bed · 90 sqm
Classic Room
The entry-level room at 45 sqm — larger than most Beijing five-stars at this price point. Contemporary design with the hotel's signature brass-and-geometry aesthetic. Separate business work area, interactive TV, high-speed Wi-Fi, and a high-quality audio system. Bathrooms have a separate toilet and shower with branded amenities.
1 King Bed or 2 Twin Beds · 45 sqmJunior Suite
The Sanlitun View variant spans 70 sqm with a dedicated living area and views over the street-level action below. Calm and well-proportioned — not oversized to the point of feeling empty. The city view variant runs slightly smaller. Good choice if you want suite-level space without committing to a full suite price.
1 King Bed · 70 sqmPremium Room
A step up from Classic at 50 sqm with city views and Club InterContinental lounge access included. Same sharp design language with added floor plan space and the benefit of the 22nd-floor lounge for breakfast, evening cocktails, and all-day snacks.
1 King Bed · 50 sqmPresidential Suite
The top of the house at 306 sqm across two king bedrooms — large enough to feel like a genuine residential space. Soft tones and an open layout. Premium bedding, full butler-level service, and the run of the hotel's top amenities. Priced at the sharp end for Beijing luxury.
2 King Beds · 306 sqmTerrace Suite
At 88 sqm with a private terrace — one of the more distinctive suite options in the building. The outdoor terrace gives you actual Sanlitun air rather than just a view through glass. Separate living and dining areas inside. The terrace is the real differentiator here.
