A hidden luxury courtyard house in the depths of old Beijing hutongs!

Tired of chain hotels after visiting Tiananmen Square? Recently discovered this gem of a courtyard homestay tucked away in the hutongs - it's like a time machine back to old Beijing 🚀 🏡 【Prime Location】 • Just 8 mins walk to Wangfujing Street, 15 mins to Tiananmen Square - no need to wake up at dawn for flag-raising ceremony • 5 mins walk to Dongsi Station (Line 5), super convenient access to Nanluoguxiang and Shichahai • Stop by the viral doujiang shop "Sanyuan Meiyuan" on your way back at night 🎎 【Immersive Courtyard Experience】 1. Traditional siheyuan layout with complete modern renovation including AC and floor heating 2. Our east wing room came with private courtyard - sipping jasmine tea under walnut trees was pure nostalgia 3. Exquisite carved wooden beds and original bluestone floors retain historic charm (with surprisingly comfy mattresses!) 📸 【Photo Spots】 • Morning sunlight casting intricate shadows through lattice windows • Silhouette shots under red lanterns at dusk • Free Hanfu costumes available for photoshoots (reservation required) ✨ 【Thoughtful Touches】 • The housekeeper auntie shares insider tips on hidden hutong gems • Seasonal fruits daily (crispy dates and Beijing pears in September) • Hotel-quality separate wet/dry bathroom design 💡 Tips: 1. Expect typical courtyard acoustics - more about ambiance than silence 2. No parking in hutongs - take taxi to west entrance of Dongsi Liutiao 3. Book early! Only 8 rooms available (peak seasons sell out fast) Nearby Itinerary: 👉 Morning: Flag-raising ceremony → Stewed liver breakfast at Qianmen 👉 Afternoon: Boutique hopping at Wudaoying Hutong 👉 Evening: Hotpot at Dengshikou → Xiangsheng comedy at Houhai bars Perfect blend of classic Tiananmen sights with authentic hutong living - all at surprisingly affordable rates! Beijing-bound travelers, bookmark this for National Day trips!
