The Emperor Hotel is perched just opposite the east gate of the massive Forbidden City palace complex. Trendy and airy, the 55-room hotel has many charms. But best of all for the weary traveler is its rooftop bar, Yin. Built on an ascending series of platforms, the bar has the best view in town hands-down.

Having a drink here at dusk as you gaze over the swooping tiled roofs of the vast former residence of the Emperor is magical. Boasting spectacular views of the Forbidden City from its rooftop restaurant, The Emperor Hotel is only 1.5 km from Wangfujing Street. It offers free Wi-Fi and free 24-hour butler service.

The Emperor Hotel is truly erected on a strategic location. It is only 1.5 kilometers away from the Forbidden City, and 500 meters distant from the famous Jing Shan Park. The Beijing International Airport is also not far from the hotel because it is only 23 kilometers away.

The 5-star hotel provides excellent facilities such as a spa and a fitness centre for guests’ convenience. Other relaxation options include a jacuzzi and a sauna. Rooms at Emperor are spacious, bright and airy. They feature a beautiful modern dcor and wooden flooring. Each room is equipped with a flat-screen cable TV and double shower facilities.

Finding a good meal in the hotel is never a problem because of the hotel’s Shi Restaurant at the Yin Rooftop bar which is highly capable of preparing palatable dishes. Their meals can also be served in the guestrooms if the visitors would opt to eat there. Public areas in the hotel have Wi-fi available that is free of charge. Wired internet connections are available in every room.

The hotel is very child friendly. All children that are below 11 years old are free of charge. One child that is below 2 years old is also free to use a baby cot. An older child or an adult on the other hand, is no longer required to pay for an extra bed. However, the maximum limit of extra beds or baby cots in a room is one.
