the Orchid Hotel

Had a wonderful stay at the Orchid. Staff were super friendly and attentive, they would check in on you everyday and provide suggestions and tips on local attractions based on your preferences. Room was clean and cosy with all the necessities and more. I wanted to stay in a hutong for this trip and so the location was perfect—nestled amongst local residences and businesses, yet close enough to tourist attractions. Would highly recommend. Also had 2 days of amazing middle-eastern inspired breakfasts at TOAST— one of their in house restaurants. Much better and more interesting than the usual hotel breakfast buffets.

Ideal location for a stay in Beijing hutongs. Excellent food on-site, not too far away from cultural attractions.

Very quaint and authentic place to stay. Staff extremely friendly and helpful. Food at all the restaurants and outlets attached to the hotel outstanding. Will definitely find an excuse to go back!

Have long been a fan of the Orchid and often visit the restaurants co located there - Toast and TBS are favourites. As such, with family visiting the Orchid was the obvious choice! An amazing location tucked in the Hutongs near the Bell and Drum towers. Both in the surrounding area and venue itself, spoilt for choice for food and restaurants. Room was cosy, clean and beautifully decorated. Two very friendly cats too. Staff genuinely fantastic and went above and beyond throughout our time there - thank you! The only fault - and reason for ranking amenities lower currently - is that there is significant work taking place at the reception (March 2025). I was aware of this having visited Toast in Feb however, had hoped this would’ve been completed by our stay and was disappointed at still being charged at the full rate given this disruption. In addition to a crowded check in / lack of communal space, this also meant rerouting through the restaurants (and up / down winding stairs), so one to note for anyone with accessibility requirements. Nevertheless a great stay and hope to be back again soon!

Amazing hotel!! Lovely huge room with a stunning view! So close to the bund and commercial shopping! The room itself was huge, tidy and we appreciated the top up of cold Coke and sprite each day! Front desk was amazing and we super appreciated the early check in after our 14 hour flight!! Thank you so much! Downside has nothing to do with the hotel however there is a group of people always lurking trying to sell you their fake products and won’t take no as an answer. As soon as we stepped out of the door we were approached every single time. But thats nothing to do with the hotel! Just something to be aware of.

We found The Orchid thanks to a recommendation from a friend who stayed here 10 years ago. For sure, this recommendation was marvellous! We had such an amazing experience in The Orchid. Having the opportunity to stay at a hutong has been incredible. The location is excellent! And the ladies in the hotel, they’ve been super friendly and helpful every time we needed. Definitely if we come back to Beijing, we’ll stay here again !
