Hidden within the historic hutongs of central Beijing, Layering Courtyard Hotel Qianmen is a serene sanctuary just a short walk from Tiananmen Square and the Forbidden City. Set in a beautifully restored traditional siheyuan (courtyard house), the hotel offers a rare blend of heritage architecture and quiet elegance in the heart of China’s vibrant capital. It’s a place where old Beijing whispers through the walls, yet modern comfort is never far behind.
The hotel features a delicate harmony of old-world charm and contemporary design: wooden beams, stone floors, inner courtyards filled with bamboo and light. Rooms are minimalist, warm, and calm, many opening onto tranquil patios. While it doesn’t boast a pool or spa, its unique atmosphere makes it a refuge for travelers seeking depth over luxury. Beyond its gates, you can explore the maze-like alleyways of Qianmen, visit the historic Dashilar district, or enjoy the cultural richness of the nearby National Museum and ancient temples—each step tracing the footsteps of imperial and revolutionary China.
