Beijing Courtel

Beijing Courtel is a traditional but stylish courtyard hotel close to the magnificent Bell and Drum Towers. Ideal for guests who want to delve into Beijing's traditional architecture and culture, the hotel offers an experience very different from Western-style hotels. Lacquered bamboo furniture, panelled windows, silk hangings, colourful artwork and comfy sofas all contribute to the charming atmosphere. The emphasis throughout is on understated style, unfussiness, comfort and natural materials.

This intimate guesthouse has 40 rooms, all decorated to a high standard in a blend of traditional and modern styles. Each room is equipped with en-suite bathroom facilities, air-conditioning, central heating and telephone. The courtyard itself makes a marvellous place to relax and get away from the hustle and bustle of modern Beijing, while the restaurant serves a wide variety of Chinese and Western-style breakfasts, as well as lunches and dinners.

Beijing Courtel is situated on Andingmen West Street in downtown Beijing. It is within very reasonable distance of several of Beijing’s cultural highlights, including the Lama Temple, the Forbidden City, and Tian'anmen Square. Andingmen subway station is within walking distance.
