Regent Beijing

I've stayed at many InterContinental properties, but this was my first time at a Regent, and it was a fantastic experience. It perfectly blends an old-world, understated luxury with Eastern charm and Western light luxury. Located in Beijing's bustling Wangfujing area, where many established luxury hotels show their age a bit, the Regent stands out with its modern exterior, looking remarkably 'fresh' next to neighbors like the Peninsula and Waldorf Astoria, which you can see from your room. Transportation is convenient, right next to Dengshikou subway station on Line 5. Just a heads-up, Exit C doesn't have an escalator. Despite being in a busy area, traffic wasn't bad, and most popular attractions are easily accessible by subway. It's quite close to the Forbidden City, which explains why I saw foreign tour groups staying here. The price-to-value ratio, even during holidays, is excellent. The room layout is straightforward and spacious, with no awkward angles, making it feel very open and never cramped. While it lacks superfluous, winding designs, the attention to detail and artistic touches are exceptional. I particularly loved the toiletries – they have a lovely, subtle woody scent. Breakfast: Offers Beijing specialties like Zhajiangmian (fried sauce noodles), local desserts, and stewed offal. The Chinese selection also includes some Cantonese dim sum, and there's a wider variety of Western options. The whole wheat croissants were delicious and guilt-free. Gym and Swimming Pool: Located on the 5th floor, open until 10 PM. There's a wide range of equipment, and I was impressed by the availability of disinfectant spray, a thoughtful detail that ensures user hygiene. Overall, my stay was excellent. I've already recommended it to friends, whether they're visiting Beijing for leisure or business, this place is definitely a top choice.

The location and surroundings are excellent. Directly opposite the hotel is the Bianyifang Roast Duck restaurant, and it's also very close to the hutongs for a stroll. Getting to the South Station only takes about half an hour... We stayed in a city view room, which offered a distant glimpse of the Forbidden City and Beihai Park. The service was great!

Great location with convenient transportation. Plenty of established local eateries nearby. The hotel facilities are well-maintained despite its age. The mini-bar is complimentary, and the service is excellent. The restaurant offerings are all good, especially the Italian restaurant on the second floor, which is fantastic.

The hotel's location is excellent, very close to Wangfujing commercial area, and the subway entrance is right downstairs. The hotel staff are exceptionally polite and proactive in offering help. Plus, Lai Garden (restaurant) is also delicious.

The room was very clean, and the hotel provided a humidifier, so I didn't suffer from rhinitis or allergies this time. It's very convenient for getting around; there are many shared bikes downstairs, making it super fast to cycle to nearby attractions. Across from the hotel, there are many unique restaurants, such as Menkuang Luzhu, Bianyifang, and Yisan Douzhi. Wangfujing Pedestrian Street is within walking distance, and a post-dinner city walk is delightful this time of year.

Visited Beijing with my child during the May Day holiday and stayed at the well-established Regent Hotel. The location is absolutely unbeatable; you can pretty much walk everywhere. I have to say, when it comes to service, you really can't beat the older, more established hotels. The entire atmosphere of the hotel is so relaxed, truly allowing you to unwind. Any issues we brought to the staff were met with a quick and proactive response. I'll definitely choose the Regent again next time I'm in Beijing.

I chose the Regent Hotel, nestled near the Forbidden City, for my trip to Beijing. Its location is absolutely superb – the Dengshikou subway station is right around the corner, and Wangfujing Pedestrian Street is a short walk away, making evening strolls incredibly convenient. The Regent is an older hotel, but it doesn't feel dated at all. The lobby and rooms still boast a stylish design. **Facilities:** Generally good, better than expected, although some areas do show signs of age. The bed was wonderfully springy and comfortable. **Hygiene:** Very good. **Environment:** The fresh air system felt great; I didn't experience any dryness during my two-day stay, which was very comfortable. **Service:** Very enthusiastic. There were many international guests, and the breakfast seemed to offer more Western options, which was pretty standard overall. The afternoon tea was excellent – both photogenic and delicious!

The service was great! There was someone playing music in the lobby, and it seemed like there were quite a few foreigners staying there. The Bianyifang roast duck right across the street from the hotel was delicious, and the braised offal (luzhu) was also very good, though I wasn't a fan of the flatbread that came with it. We traveled during the May Day holiday, so traffic was terrible everywhere. Luckily, it was only about a 10-minute walk to Wangfujing Pedestrian Street, and Dengshikou subway station was just a minute's walk away from the hotel, making it super convenient to get around.

Great location, delicious breakfast, and a clean room. Very satisfied! The roast duck restaurant across the street is also good; no need to queue if you go for a late dinner at 9 PM.
