The Peninsula Beijing
A hand-picked boutique retreat
The Peninsula Beijing is an all-suite luxury hotel on Jinyu Hutong (Goldfish Lane) in Wangfujing, a short walk from the Forbidden City.

Open since 1989.
The Peninsula Beijing (北京王府半岛酒店) stands on Jinyu Hutong — Goldfish Lane — in Wangfujing, a short walk from Wangfujing Street and the Forbidden City. Open since 1989, it was remade in 2017 as an all-suite hotel: the original 525 rooms became 230 suites, the smallest 60m², each with a separate bedroom, living room, marble bathroom and dressing room. The two-storey Duplex Suites have the feel of a private residence. The Peninsula Spa, a heated indoor pool, contemporary French at Jing and Cantonese at Huang Ting complete the house.

Inside The Peninsula Beijing
Staying at The Peninsula Beijing
01 Where is The Peninsula Beijing and how do I get there?
It's at 8 Jinyu Hutong — Goldfish Lane — in Wangfujing, Dongcheng District, in the heart of central Beijing. Wangfujing Street and the Forbidden City are a short walk away, so the palace district is on foot from the door.
02 Is every room really a suite?
Yes. A renovation completed in 2017 combined the original 525 rooms into 230 suites across 14 floors. The entry Superior Suite is 60m², with a separate bedroom, living room, marble bathroom and dressing room. The Duplex Suite, about 74m², spreads over two storeys — bedroom upstairs, living room below, floor-to-ceiling windows on both levels — and larger categories run up through the Premier, Grand Premier and Wangfujing suites.
03 Who is this stay best for?
Travellers who want a grand hotel with room to spread out — a proper sitting room even in the entry suite — and the Forbidden City and Wangfujing within walking distance. It's one of the stays on our Classic China: Warriors, Pandas & Stone Pillars journey.
