## Our read

Wangfujing is the shopping street, and the hotel sits on the upper floors of WF CENTRAL rather than in a lane. The useful number is 73 rooms, from 55 square metres, with a terrace that looks at the Forbidden City. Mandarin Grill closes on Monday, so a Monday dinner is Cafe Zi or MO Bar. Come if you want the palace in the window and the shops under the room. Skip it if you booked the hutong. That hotel is Qianmen, at Caochang Alley 10, and it opened in 2024.

## Come here for

- A room above WF CENTRAL, with the Forbidden City in the terrace view
- Mandarin Grill, Tuesday to Sunday, with Christophe Riou
- A walk to Tiananmen without changing hotels

## Skip it if

- You wanted the courtyard houses in Caochang Hutong. That is Mandarin Oriental Qianmen.
- You planned Monday dinner at the grill. It is closed on Monday.
