Beijing Hotel NUO offers a uniquely historic setting for executive board meetings, conferences, product launches, gala dinners and weddings. NUO hotels prides itself on flawless planning, tailored service and creative catering to deliver memorable events that exceed client expectations.

Sophisticated dining is a hallmark of the NUO brand. Beijing Hotel NUO’s culinary team brings years of fine dining craft and inspiration to each dish, using carefully sourced ingredients, including produce from our own organic farm cooperative in the Beijing countryside.

The Beijing Hotel has stood at 33 East Chang’an Avenue, the city’s most famous thoroughfare, for over a hundred years. Within walking distance of Tiananmen Square, the Forbidden City and Wangfujing, the hotel is 45 minutes by car from Beijing Capital Airport, and 10 minutes from Beijing Railway Station. Conveniently situated for the Beijing Subway, the nearest station is Wangfujing (Line 1), a five-minute walk from the hotel.

OVERVIEW Counting both the Forbidden City and Tiananmen Square as its neighbours, Beijing Hotel NUO boasts the most desirable address in the city for sightseers, offering unparalleled access to many of the city’s must-visit historic attractions.     FORBIDDEN CITY For two dynasties, Emperors ruled ‘all under heaven’ from the world’s biggest palace complex at the heart of Beijing. Encircled by three kilometres of red citadel walls, for most of its history the Forbidden City was off-limits to mere mortals. Now it’s yours to explore, and mere minutes from our door.   TIANANMEN SQUARE Visible from the heritage building of the hotel, China’s most famous public square is also one of the world’s largest, flanked by the National Museum, the front gate of the Forbidden City famously hung with the portrait of Mao Zedong, and China’s seat of government, the Great Hall of the People.   NATIONAL MUSUEM Almost directly opposite Beijing Hotel NUO, this is China’s most important museum, boasting one of the largest collections of Chinese antiquities in the world. Foreign nationals are required to present a passport upon entry.   WANGFUJING SHOPPING STREET Beijing’s most famous area for shopping, Wangfujing presents a mix of traditional Chinese emporiums selling hats, medicine and fabrics alongside modern temples of retail like Apple and Nike.   JINGSHANG PARK Climb to the top of this pristine park for jaw-dropping views of the Forbidden City rooftops. The 45-metre-high mound is actually the spoil dug out of the Forbidden City’s moat, which conveniently served as both windbreak and spirit barrier protecting the Emperor in his palace.   DRUM & BELL TOWERS These ancient bastions of time-keeping stand due north of the Forbidden City along Beijing’s central axis, and the surrounding neighbourhood of traditional ‘hutong’ alleyways is perfect for strolling.   TEMPLE OF HEAVEN The Emperor would travel south from the Forbidden City before the winter solstice to pray at this alter complex for a bounteous harvest. These days, tourists swell between the Round Alter and the Hall of Prayer for Good Harvests, but the surrounding parkland is some of the most peaceful in the city.

Beijing Hotel NUO offers 171 elegantly appointed guest rooms and suites that tastefully mix east and west. Accommodations in the original Heritage Building present period French style and furnishings, while those in the northern annex offer more space and the benefits of club facilities for business travellers in Club Rooms.
