Our read

Beijing already has a Mandarin Oriental on Wangfujing. This one is the hutong. Forty-two courtyard houses, opened in September 2024, sit in Caochang Alley beside private homes, a short walk from the Forbidden City and the Temple of Heaven. The deluxe courtyard starts at 110 square metres, and Peking Mansion is a different house, so the small courtyard and the mansion are different bookings. Yan Garden is Chef Fei's Cantonese and Chaozhou room. TIAO takes its name from Alley Ten and opens onto the lane. Come if the point of Beijing is the lanes. Skip it if you wanted the Wangfujing hotel above the shops.

Come here for

  • A courtyard house in Caochang Hutong, not a tower room on Wangfujing
  • Yan Garden, Cantonese and Chaozhou, by Chef Fei
  • TIAO, the alley bar that opens onto Caochang Alley Ten

Skip it if

  • You wanted Mandarin Oriental Wangfujing. That hotel is at 269 Wangfujing Street.
  • You booked a deluxe courtyard and expected Peking Mansion. The mansion is its own house.

We’d rather send you somewhere else than send you somewhere that doesn’t suit you.

Mandarin Oriental Qianmen, Beijing is at No. 1 Caochang Alley 10, Dongcheng District, Beijing 100005. The hotel phone is +86 10 8592 8888. It opened on 2 September 2024, the second Mandarin Oriental in the capital, and it is not the Wangfujing hotel. The hotel places 42 courtyard houses through the Qianmen East Hutong quarter, each its own residence. A courtyard is the plan, not a view from a tower. The live room list starts the deluxe courtyard at 110 square metres. Yan Garden is Cantonese and Chaozhou, by Chef Fei, with Peter Chen as executive Chinese chef. VICINI is the Italian bistro. TIAO is the cocktail bar on Caochang Alley Ten: the Chinese name Shi Tiao is the alley, and the English name is the word for mixology. The bar can be entered from the hotel or from the street. The spa sits in the courtyard, with a tea house and a Qiyuan healing space. Peking Mansion is the one-off courtyard house with a tearoom. This is a hutong stay beside Tiananmen and the Forbidden City, not a shopping-street tower. Reserve with the hotel. MindReach does not take the booking.
