In a city that is reinventing itself everyday new with magnificent skyscrapers and ultra-modern shopping centers, it is one thing that has slowly disappeared out of the urban cityscape: the traditional Hutongs of Beijing. These ancient Chinese residences used to be an important part of the city as they where the social and cultural focal points of daily life.

The luxurious Waldorf Astoria Beijing has embraced local culture and brought it to a new level with its exquisite Hutong-styled building surrounding a gorgeous courtyard. Traditional architectural elements have been blended with modern day comforts such as indoor pool and some of the most luxurious suites and bathrooms we have seen in all of Beijing.
