Beijing has no shortage of high end international hotels, but for a stay with a bit more local flavor, try one in the growing collection of Beijing’s boutique hotels. These places not only offer more personal service, but many are situated in hutong neighborhoods, allowing you to experience Beijing from a more human scale and local perspective.
For a sleek and chic modern boutique hotel located oh-so-close to the Forbidden City, stay at the Kapok:
16 Donghuamen Dajie
Dongcheng district
Tel: +86 (10) 65259988
Metro: Tiananmen East/Wangfujing, Line 1
For a more traditional hutong approach, the following are set in renovated courtyard houses that offer a taste of old Beijing but with all of the modern luxuries and amenities:
70 Yanyue Hutong
Dongcheng district
Tel: +86 (10) 65128020;
Metro: Dengshikou, Line 5
20 Nan Luo Gu Xiang
Dongcheng district
Tel: +86 (10) 64005566
Ban Qiao 4 Hao (4 Banqiao)
4 Banqiao Hutong, Beixinqiao
Dongcheng district
Tel: +86(10) 8403 0968
Metro: Beixinqiao, Line 5

Our last recommendation is an oldy but goody--perhaps not the newest or flashiest hutong hotels, but one that hass endured the test of time and that provide a more modest yet still charming and comfortable option for staying in Beijing’s hutongs:
Lu Song Yuan
22 Banchang Hutong, Nanluoguxiang hutong area
Dongcheng district
Tel:(86-10) 6404 0436
Metro: NA
