The Orchid Hotel - Old Town & Drum Tower – A Favorite for Families in Beijing
About the Hotel
Rooms & Suites
The Orchid Hotel offers air-conditioned suites with private entrances, soundproof walls, and flat-screen TVs with streaming services. Each suite includes a kitchen with a stovetop, refrigerator, and tea/coffee maker. Some feature inner courtyard views, while others have garden views. Select suites include a hot tub. Bathrooms come with free toiletries, bathrobes, and slippers.
Dining at Toast
Toast, the hotel's flagship restaurant, serves modern mezze-style small plates blending Middle Eastern, Asian, and European influences. Breakfast options range from homemade granola to the 'Full Chinglish,' a local take on an English breakfast with house-made sausages. Breakfast is served until noon.
Location & Access
The Orchid is built among Beijing's ancient hutong walkways, a 12-minute walk from Houhai Lake. Nearby landmarks include the Bell and Drum Towers (0.5 km), Mao Dun's Former Residence (0.5 km), and the Temple of Confucius (1.5 km). The nearest subway is a 10-15 minute walk away.
Private Residences
Detached from the main hotel, the Private Residences offer more living space with the same amenities. Each includes a fully equipped kitchen, soundproof walls, and a flat-screen TV. Some feature a hot tub and inner courtyard views.
Services & Extras
Guests receive smartphones preloaded with useful numbers. Breakfast is served until noon. Drivers are available for pick-up. The hotel is near Nanluoguxiang, known for its bars and local shops. Taxi access can be tricky due to the narrow alleyways.
