I stayed in LiveFortuna hotel in December 2024 for 5 days. It’s located near Ritan park and midway between subway stations. Roughly a ten minute walk either direction, Most fares are 3 rmb around the immediate area. Capital express line is 1 transfer to access and 25 rmb to the Peking International airport. Rooms are modern with a loft platform bedroom ( at least mine was) There is a stove top and microwave but you have to ask for just about all the usual cooking utensils. My room basically had 2 teaspoons, mugs, glasses and towels for the bathroom. Nothing else like plates, pans, tea towels, detergent etc. Seems like you can ask for these things, but in the end I didn’t. I guess they must have people stealing everything that’s not bolted down. But a corkscrew would have been appreciated.
On the positive side. The hotel has the best gym equipment of any hotel I’ve stayed in. There is also a heated pool. However no spa or sauna. You are required to wear a bathing cap, seems to be a thing in China. They will lend you one.
Buffet breakfast is good value. Runs from 7 to 10 am and a good selection of Chinese and western food. They will cook you omelets. Nice machine coffee.
Ritan park is 2 minutes walk away, free entry these days. A great place to people watch.
Midday check out. Lots of restaurants and eateries in the area. Hotel ATM can withdraw cash although it looks like China is rapidly moving towards a cashless transaction society ( Alipay, WeChat pay maybe Apple Pay …
The hotel is modern and chic upon arrival. Breakfast was superb.
The rooms were spacious enough for 2 people and just may not be suitable for the elderly as there are steps to climb to the bed. Otherwise, it really is a cool room. Not to mention is very clean as well. Great air conditioning too.
The surrounding of hotel has many convenience stores as well as eateries. There is a Starbucks directly beside the lobby for your caffeine needs.
Service wise everyone in the hotel is friendly and is willing to assist you in any possible way.
Overall is an excellent place to stay in Beijing!
