Why It Matters
The only all-suite hotel in Beijing, with entry-level suites starting at 60 sq m (645 sq ft) — the largest standard rooms in the city. Forbes Travel Guide Five-Star distinction 2018–2020. Listed on the 2020 Condé Nast Traveler Gold List. Hosts Michelin-recognized dining and three consecutive years on Asia's Best 50 restaurant list for Huang Ting.
China's original Peninsula property, opened in 1989 as The Palace Hotel and completely overhauled in a US$123 million renovation completed in 2017. That renovation converted 525 rooms into 230 all-suites — now the most spacious standard hotel rooms in Beijing. Enter through a traditional Chinese gate into a three-story lobby of pearlescent marble and an onyx Spirit Wall, where antique furnishings meet calligraphic art and a sweeping marble staircase. The result is a hotel that feels genuinely palatial without tipping into pastiche.
Where You'll Stay
7 room types available
Beijing Suite
One of the hotel's standout room types. The living area features noble gold upholstery and rich hardwood floors with contemporary rugs. The headline feature is a private cinema room fitted with an 80-inch HDTV and full surround sound. Residential in feel — separate powder room, grand walk-in closet, and courtyard or city views.
King · 165 sqmDeluxe Suite
A step up from the Superior, with slightly more generous proportions. Same layout principles — separate bedroom, living area, marble bathroom, and walk-in closet — with soundproofed windows. Some connect to adjacent suites, making them useful for families or groups.
King or Twin · 65 sqmDuplex Suite
Two floors of living space connected by an internal staircase — a genuine loft-style apartment feel within the hotel. Light floods both levels through large windows. Popular with younger travelers and couples looking for something architecturally distinct. Note: luggage movement between floors requires concierge help.
