Global Luxury & Character Hotels brand, Splendia knows that modern travellers want more than just a comfortable bed for the night; avoiding hotel chains, they’re looking for unique properties around the world where they can really experience the true character of a destination.
Beijing’s ‘hutong hotels’ are housed in traditional courtyard residences linked by small alleyways, typical to the historical districts of the city and an important part of Chinese culture. These beautiful old properties have been converted into luxurious hotels, retaining the oriental charm and details that are now a testament to China’s vivid past.
This type of property is in line with Splendia’s promise to offer customers a truly unique and memorable hotel stay. Thanks to a team of travel experts who relentlessly scour the globe for luxury hotels with something just a little bit different, Splendia prides itself on an unparalleled selection of carefully chosen Luxury & Character Hotels.
Here, Splendia (www.splendia.com) present three exquisite hutong hotels:
