Friends who come to Beijing can stay here!

The moment I received the invitation to "Brilliant Chang'an Avenue," I knew this would be an extraordinary treasure hunt through the city!

It made me realize how many hidden gems are waiting to be explored—now all added to my to-do list! 🔮 Stepping into Beijing Hotel NUO, from the spiral staircase to the Writer's Bar, every corner captivated me with its vintage charm. The 1917 spring dance floor is still here! Standing in the center of the Writer's Bar's dance floor, I could almost hear the jazz melodies of the 1920s. 🎷 The staff shared that George Bernard Shaw, Rabindranath Tagore, and Guo Moruo once lingered here... Today, thanks to I had the privilege of experiencing the cultural treasures of these iconic hotels. From the exquisite Peking Opera costumes displayed at Beijing Qianmen Jianguo Hotel to the artistic dim sum at Beijing Minzu Hotel, and even the Chinese chess-themed afternoon tea at NUO Hotel Beijing—it felt like a time-traveling hotel tour. 🙋‍♀️ I even participated in the interactive treasure auction! It was my first time, and raising the paddle truly made my heart race—so thrilling! ✨ Beneath the century-old grandeur of the dome, with crystal chandeliers casting shimmering lights, a timeless adventure quietly unfolds. This "Treasure Hotel Adventure" transformed Chang'an Avenue from just a line on the map into a living book of culture and history.

Today I enjoyed the "Qingye·Shiyun" joint afternoon tea in the century-old building in Wangfujing. Entering May, I didn't expect that I would bid farewell to the spring of "Lin Huiyin" in this way You are the flowers blooming on every tree, Whispering on the beams, - you are love, you are warmth, It is hope, you are April on the world! We finally meet again in Lin Huiyin's poems The temperature of the petals touched by fingertips The sweetness of morning dew spreads over lips and teeth When the porcelain of Nokin blooms throughout the spring Red velvet cheese is like a newly blooming rose on a branch Cream layered with morning mist kissing the tenderness of petals Every bite is the whisper of the swallows on the beams It's not just the cake that melts on your tongue It is clearly a piece of elegant poetry that has been frozen for a hundred years. Honey lemon chocolate is the whisper of April Dark chocolate wrapped in honey wine flows The sourness of lemon breaks through the clouds Let the sunlight break into gold foil and fall into the depths of velvet This lightness is very similar to the wind from Mr. Lin's pen tip. Willow branches brushing past Shichahai The whole of Beijing became a picture frame In the spring of 2025, I want to say goodbye to you properly!

Snow leopards are known as the "kings of the snow mountains." They live in the most remote and coldest mountainous areas in the world, such as the Sanjiangyuan region, which is the most concentrated area of snow leopard habitat in the world. Sanjiangyuan is not only the home of snow leopards, but also an important water source for the world. It is crucial for maintaining the balance of the entire ecosystem. The protection work in the Sanjiangyuan region has always been a focus of global attention. In particular, snow leopards are the flagship species of the alpine ecosystem. Their population changes directly reflect the health of the ecological environment in this region. The number of snow leopards we see today is already very small. There are about 7,000 snow leopards in the world, of which 4,500 are in China, and the number of snow leopards in Sanjiangyuan accounts for more than 60% of the global total. Therefore, every move here is related to the future of the entire snow leopard population. For this reason, Nuojin Hotel and Sanjiangyuan Ecological Protection Foundation jointly launched the "Nuo Shou Zi Ran" ESG project to strengthen snow leopard protection and habitat restoration. During the event, I not only learned about the background of the project, but also saw a particularly attractive artwork - Zhao Wenjing's snow leopard artwork "Heart of Steel." It conveys the tenacity and strength of snow leopards through art, which is deeply moving. In this protection action, Nuojin not only donates and publicizes, but also encourages guests to participate in donations through hotel's actual actions, such as setting up snow leopard mascots, which allows more people to pay attention to and support snow leopard protection. All the funds raised will be specifically used for the rescue of snow leopards and the protection of their habitat. This approach is really meaningful! I think that participating in such activities not only makes people feel the social responsibility of the brand, but also allows me to have a deeper understanding of the protection of snow leopards. I hope that more people can join in to protect these beautiful and precious creatures and contribute to our planet! 🌍🐆

"Treasures of Dunhuang, New Year's Blessings" Beijing Hotel NUO×SHANG XIA Joint Afternoon Tea #Parent-child new year party# is a very happy thing. We chat together, review 2024, look forward to 2025, and everyone talks about their New Year plans and the things they want to do. It is a very happy thing. Starting from January 6, the "Deer King's Birth Story" located in the Mogao Grottoes in Dunhuang and the upper and lower core craft bamboo silk button porcelain are used as the creative blueprint to jointly launch the "Dunhuang Treasures·New Year Afternoon Tea". I have tasted it for everyone, the chef’s cooking skills are really amazing! The catering team has ingeniously incorporated seasonal winter ingredients such as black sesame, peanuts, strawberries, pumpkins, etc. into the afternoon tea. Location: NUO Writers Bar, Beijing Hotel #Travel with Weibo# It got its name from the many literary masters who visited here, including George Bernard Shaw, Rabindranath Tagore, and Guo Moruo. The design of this place imitates the Hall of Mirrors in the Palace of Versailles, with a luxurious dome and crystal chandeliers, French floor-to-ceiling windows and a French spring dance floor that has been accumulated for a hundred years, as if taking you back to the gathering place of elite leaders in the golden age. 【心】I love it so much! Be sure to take a photo of the stairs in the lobby📷

The New Year holiday is only one day, so I just planned to spend the New Year's Eve in the hotel 🎉 Neither I nor my friends have stayed at the Beijing Hotel Nuojin before. It was close to Wangfujing for New Year's Eve (of course we didn't go there) and it didn't seem that popular, so we went there to stay. . The lobby is gorgeous in European retro style, with a large crystal chandelier. The Writer's Bar is a lobby bar, restaurant 🍴, and bar, very filmy 👍 . The room feels a bit old overall Charging🔋Not at the bedside, take turns to charge in the bathroom The room is on the 6th floor, but I didn't book the street side because I was afraid of the noise. As a result, there was always the sound of machines working in the inner swimming pool area, so those who have poor sleep 💤 should be careful when choosing As a European style hotel, I think the room decoration is not as good as that of Legend Hotel, but the room is really big The room temperature felt like 28 degrees. My roommate and I took turns adjusting it several times but it was useless. We didn't want to call service in the middle of the night. The next day I woke up and found that the orange peel had turned into tangerine peel. . Breakfast🥣 is not very good, the service staff are very nice Overall, I feel that the software is better than the hardware The location is unparalleled

I took the best photo of my life by the window at the Beijing Hotel NUO, where you can enjoy a unique afternoon. The dance floor from the 1920s is still here, and it is still as dazzling as ever. The sunlight fills the room, creating a relaxing atmosphere. Beijing Hotel NUO ✖️ luxury home and lifestyle brand SHANG XIA, "Dunhuang Treasures · New Year Afternoon Tea", enjoy a relaxing afternoon tea here. 💛 The Dunhuang Mogao Grottoes · Cave 257 Northern Wei Western Wall "Deer King Jataka" is a classic. This classic work and SHANG XIA's bamboo silk porcelain craft were used as the creative inspiration for this "Dunhuang Treasures · New Year Blessings" afternoon tea. It is the best blessing for the new year. In the new year, continue to enjoy the beauty of life. Beijing Hotel NUO · Writer's Bar

♥A hidden gem in Beijing! ✔Accor once owned the four most famous historical hotels in China: Beijing Hotel Raffles, Fairmont Peace Hotel in Shanghai, Sofitel Legend People's Grand Hotel Xi'an, and Novotel Beijing Peace. From Accor's brand positioning, Beijing Hotel is the top hotel among these four historical hotels. In December 2016, Beijing Hotel was rebranded as NUO, a local luxury hotel brand jointly created by BTG and Kempinski. Although it is less famous than Raffles, it is more in line with the low-key luxury temperament of Beijing Hotel and symbolizes the rise of local hotel brands. ✔The four hotel buildings on the east side of Chang'an Street are the State Guesthouse, NUO Hotel Beijing (newly renovated in 2022 with a new Chinese style), the main building of NUO Hotel Beijing, and the new building of Beijing Hotel. The main building was built in the 1910s and opened in 1917. It is a historical building that has recorded many stories over the past 100 years. ✔The celebration banquet of the founding ceremony of the People's Republic of China in 1949 was held here. Historical celebrities such as Chairman Mao, Premier Zhou, and Mr. Sun Yat-sen have stayed here. The hotel has also specially reserved 9 celebrity suites, which retain the room decorations of the 9 celebrities who have stayed here, including President de Gaulle, Marshal Montgomery, General Zhang Xueliang, writer Shaw, and Mr. Guo Moruo. ✔Above the 9 celebrity suites, the hotel also has 5 154m² presidential suites and the largest 888m² presidential suite in Beijing. The presidential suite I stayed in this time has a strong historical atmosphere and exudes a low-key luxury!

This small palace in Beijing has been around for over 100 years. It's like a palace, and it's called the Nuo Jin Writer's Bar. Although it's called a bar🍸, it's actually a Western restaurant🍽. Although it's a Western restaurant, it can also be a coffee shop☕ during the day. It's located in the famous Beijing Hotel in Wangfujing. . The key point is that you can spend an afternoon here with a cappuccino☕ for just 18 yuan💰. There aren't many people here, so it's very quiet. The environment is also great, and there aren't many internet celebrities checking in. It's a pity that I spent an afternoon here alone, but if I had a partner, I would have taken a few selfies🤳. . ⚠️By the way, cameras📷 are not allowed here, and flash is not allowed.

Accor once collected four historic landmark hotels in China: Beijing Hotel Raffles, Fairmont Peace Hotel in Shanghai, Sofitel Legend People's Grand Hotel in Xi'an, and Novotel Peace Hotel in Beijing. From Accor's brand positioning, Beijing Hotel was the flagship among these four historic landmark hotels. In December 2016, Beijing Hotel rebranded to NUO, a local luxury hotel brand jointly created by BTG and Kempinski. Although it is less famous than Raffles, it better fits the understated luxury temperament of Beijing Hotel and symbolizes the rise of local hotel brands. On the east side of Chang'an Avenue, there are four hotel buildings: VIP Building Hotel, Beijing Hotel NUO Aisong (newly renovated in 2022 with a new Chinese-style guest room), Beijing Hotel NUO Main Building, and Beijing Hotel New Building. Among them, the main building, which was built in the 1910s and opened in 1917, is a historic building that has recorded many stories over more than a century. The celebration banquet for the founding ceremony of the People's Republic of China in 1949 was held here. Historical figures such as Chairman Mao, Premier Zhou, and Dr. Sun Yat-sen have stayed here. The hotel has specially preserved nine celebrity suites, retaining the room decor from when nine celebrities stayed here, including President Charles de Gaulle, Marshal Montgomery, General Zhang Xueliang, writers George Bernard Shaw and Guo Moruo, among others. In addition to the nine celebrity suites, the hotel also has five 154㎡ chairman suites and one 888㎡ presidential suite, the largest in Beijing. The chairman suite I stayed in this time exudes a sense of history and understated luxury. Good hotels in and around Beijing are not as abundant as those in Shanghai. This NUO hotel is rich in stories and reasonably priced, but the room facilities are indeed old and may not be convenient for long stays. Highly recommended for friends visiting Beijing to book a night or two in a celebrity suite for the experience.

| A tribute to a century of classics. What is it like to stay in the Beijing Hotel NUO Heritage Suite? This time, let's travel back to the Republic of China era and reminisce about the classics together. Located in the heart of Beijing, Beijing Hotel NUO is one of China's long-standing luxury hotels, adjacent to the former Imperial Palace Forbidden City. A five-minute walk from the hotel will take you to Tiananmen Square, the Great Hall of the People, the National Grand Theatre, and it is just a stone's throw away from the bustling Wangfujing shopping street. The hotel officially opened in 1917. The 'Writers' Bar' of that year provided countless creative inspirations for playwright Shaw, poet Tagore, and scholar Guo Moruo. Pioneers who have influenced the course of Chinese and world history, such as Dr. Sun Yat-sen, Marshal Montgomery, and General Zhang Xueliang, have also stayed here. As a time traveler of Beijing Hotel NUO, why not try the newly launched '1917 Time Collection' afternoon tea at the 'Writers' Bar', pay tribute to the century-old classics, and taste the flavors of time! I will also explain the '1917 Time Collection' afternoon tea experience in detail in the next content. The hotel has nine heritage suites, each named after a historical figure who has stayed here. This time, I stayed in the 6501 Sun Yat-sen themed suite. The first feeling when entering the room is like traveling back to the Republic of China era. The room still retains many of the furnishings of that year. Every design, every item, makes people full of endless imagination about the 1920s. Without leaving the suite, you can directly enjoy the beautiful view of Chang'an Street outside the window. If you love classic and exquisite, choosing a heritage suite that you like is definitely a good choice
