Manxin Hotel Beijing Temple of Heaven is located on Tian’anmen East Road in the Dongcheng district, and its main advantage is evident from the name: the Temple of Heaven is within walking distance. In the morning, you can go out to the eastern gates of the park and witness what brings Beijingers here: people dancing, singing, and practicing tai chi under the trees. The Tianshoumen subway station is a 10-minute walk away, providing access in one direction to Tian’anmen Square and Qianmen, and in the other direction to the train station and Wangfujing. The hotel has 127 rooms, and guests describe the breakfast as one of the best in the area: it’s something they remember fondly after their trip. Floor-to-ceiling windows provide plenty of light, while smart assistants and robots deliver tea and food to the rooms.

Eastern Gates of the Temple of Heaven

The Temple of Heaven is one of Beijing’s main imperial complexes, where emperors performed sacrifices to the gods. The park surrounding it is vast and lively: in the morning you can see retirees with fans playing cards and singing in the Long Corridor. The hotel is located near the eastern gates, which means that at an early hour, when the park is quietest, you can simply step out of the lobby. Further down Qianmen Street and through the former commercial districts, Tian’anmen Square and the Forbidden City are accessible by subway or taxi, while Beijing Railway Station is about a few stops away.

  • Temple of Heaven — nearby, best in the morning.
  • Qianmen Street — an old shopping street with shops and duck restaurants.
  • Tian’anmen Square — along Qianmen and by subway.
  • Wangfujing — a shopping street and street food.

Traveler’s Tip: Tickets for the Temple of Heaven park and the inner halls are purchased separately, and your passport is required at the entrance. Arrive when it opens to avoid tour groups. After a long day, your feet will be tired, so plan dinner near the hotel rather than on the other side of the city.

Robots, Lobby Bar & Smart Service

The hotel is modern and compact. It features a restaurant and cafe, a lobby bar, paid parking with a valet service, as well as laundry facilities, luggage storage, and baggage assistance. The service focuses on technology: service robots deliver orders, and smart assistants advise you on how to request tea or towels. Staff, according to guests, bring tea, deliver food, and assist with luggage.
