Discover the Elegance of Bulgari Hotel in Beijing
Nestled in the vibrant heart of China’s capital, the Bulgari Hotel offers an impressive starting room size of approximately 600 square feet—more spacious than many urban apartments.
The exterior view showcases the hotel’s prime location within Beijing’s Embassy District.
Revitalizing Tourism and Travel to China
The Chinese government has launched several initiatives aimed at rejuvenating its tourism sector, including relaxed visa regulations for travelers from numerous countries. Although American tourists do not enjoy full exemptions, they can now apply for a visa without needing to have their trip booked in advance. Eager to explore this opportunity, I embarked on my journey from North America—a long trek that included a four-hour layover in Tokyo before finally arriving in Beijing for my first visit.
A Serene Arrival at Bulgari Hotel
Upon entering the hotel lobby just after lunchtime (having yet to indulge in a meal), I was pleasantly surprised by its tranquility. As someone who has traveled extensively through various Asian capitals, I anticipated a bustling atmosphere typical of such metropolitan areas; instead, I found an oasis of calm. General Manager Jackie Hoo described this unique aspect perfectly: “Our guests can escape the city’s hustle and bustle and enter this serene retreat.” The constant availability of snacks in the lobby added an extra touch—who wouldn’t appreciate complimentary treats like White Rabbit Creamy Candy?
Approximately 40% of rooms offer stunning views overlooking the Liangma River adjacent to the hotel. My premier room provided just that—a perfect vantage point to observe locals enjoying leisurely activities by the water on a hot July day while also allowing me some much-needed relaxation time.
