[China: Beijing] 1* Zijin Mansion 紫金阁 at Waldorf Astoria
Conveniently located in the heart of Beijing, Waldorf Astoria Beijing is within a walkable distance from Forbidden City and Tiananmen Square. Guests can choose between staying in spacious rooms with contemporary decor or the gorgeous Hutong Courtyard Villas with Ming dynasty architecture. Amenities include a full service spa, indoor pool, and 24 hour fitness center. For dining options, the hotel offers Cantonese cuisine at 1* Zijian Mansion with a unique wine room, all-day dining at Brasserie 1893 featuring Chef Adi Gao from the hit culinary show 一飯封神, and Peacock Alley as the lobby lounge and bar.
During our stay, we dined at its 1* Zijin Mansion 紫金阁 where Hakkanese Chef James Wang serves refined Cantonese cuisine with a Hakka influence. It was a delight to try traditional Hakka dishes such as the lei cha and familiar Cantonese dishes prepared in Hakka style. Highlights of the meal included the signature char siu prepared in 2 different ways, doubled-boiled chicken soup with pork tripe & fish maw, braised red grouper with spicy Zijin sauce, and braised sea cucumber with Hakka preserved vegetables.
