Came here for a little anniversary surprise ~ Decided to stay at Mandarin Oriental Wangfujing,Beijing, and as expected, there were delightful surprises at every turn with absolutely nothing to fault. From the front desk to the guest rooms, bar, and restaurants, every single staff member we encountered was warm, friendly, and professional. The room was warmly decorated for the occasion, and we were gifted a delicious cake and a bottle of red wine. The quality of the bedding and amenities was top-notch, featuring two sets each of pure cotton bathrobes and silk nightgowns, truly reflecting exceptional quality. In the evening, out on the west-facing bar terrace, we were lucky enough to catch a breathtaking sunset. Tiananmen Square, the Forbidden City, Jingshan Park, the White Pagoda Temple... bathed in the setting sun, it was stunningly beautiful, like a dream.
Dinner at the hotel's grill restaurant was also noteworthy. Special thanks to Cici, Mandy, and Vivi for their high-level service, which made this celebratory dinner even more memorable. The steak, grilled lobster, roasted eggplant, and sweet potatoes... everything was of superb quality. Paired with a bottle of Calon Segur red wine, it was a wonderful evening.
A few minor suggestions:
1) The water in the indoor pool is a bit too cool, especially when compared to the heated loungers nearby.
2) The fitness center is too small.
3) The west-facing bar terrace and the grill's outdoor terrace are the hotel's most distinctive vantage points, yet the night lighting is rather plain and simplistic. It could definitely use a redesign and upgrade. It would be perfect to add features commonly seen in many overseas hotels and resorts, such as patio heaters or electric fire pits among the seating. This would not only maximize the ambiance but also keep guests warm during chilly Beijing nights.
