Manxin Mansion, a Traditional Siheyuan Courtyard by Houhai and Drum Tower in Beijing

[The Heart of the Capital] Located in Xitao Hutong, Jiugulou Street, Xicheng District, which is imbued with a strong flavor of old Beijing, the hotel is adjacent to the main route of the North Second Ring Road. It offers direct access to renowned destinations such as Peking Union Medical College Hospital, Tiananmen Square/Wangfujing, ensuring convenient transportation. The hotel commands a view of the Second Ring Road to the north, the Drum Tower to the south, Shichahai to the west, and the Lama Temple to the east. It is also in close proximity to Yandai Xiejie, Nanluoguxiang Food Street, and other attractions, providing everything one might need. [Mansion Property] The hotel property is a renovated ancient building with a history of four hundred years. The courtyard dates back to the 31st year of the Wanli reign period. Emperor Yingzong of the Ming Dynasty (Zhu Qizhen, the sixth emperor of the Ming Dynasty) bestowed a residence upon Liu Jialin, a high-ranking official in the Imperial Palace. This mansion is the predecessor of the hotel. The charm of Beijing's architecture is on full display throughout the courtyard and the lobby, with carved beams and painted rafters, upturned eaves and bracket sets, reminiscent of the prosperity of a noble mansion in bygone days. The winding covered corridors run from north to south, the wooden carved decorations exude a pure and authentic texture, and the grey brick pavement provides a stable and grounded feel, leading to the depths of the courtyard in a meandering path. [Smart Hardware and Software] All guest rooms in the hotel are equipped with human body induction systems, eliminating the need for card insertion to access electricity. Guests can open doors remotely via a mobile app and control lights, curtains, air conditioners, televisions, and other devices using intelligent voice commands. The mattresses are from the century-old imported brand King Koil, and the high-quality, all-cotton, satin-finished bedding offers a cloud-like, comfortable sleep. Each room is (standardly equipped with) an intelligent toilet. The bathrooms feature high-end toiletries from POLA, a brand favored by the Japanese royal family, and dense, misty rainforest showerheads. The hotel is also equipped with a sunroom, a book bar, a café, and more, allowing guests to enjoy the scenic views of old Beijing hutong courtyards while relaxing. [Culinary Delights of the Capital] Upon checking in for the first night, guests will receive a complimentary buffet at the hotel restaurant, which combines Chinese and Western cuisines and showcases the flavors of old Beijing. A wide variety of Beijing-style delicacies and pastries are available, including fried sauce noodles, ruyi wontons, hutouzi (a type of pancake), shaobing with meat filling, aiwowowo (a sweet glutinous rice dumpling), fried crispy snacks, hawthorn cake, and more. [Highlight of the Courtyard] The hotel integrates local characteristics into its design and experience, naturally combining business travel with leisure travel attributes. It is a must-stay mid-to-high-end hotel for urban exploration. You can feel the charm of this city from the design-filled lobby, the details of the corridors, and the views outside the room windows. Let you always look forward to the next city adventure.
