About the Hotel
Historic Courtyard Accommodations
Aman Summer Palace Beijing offers rooms and suites housed in 100-year-old pavilions once used by guests of Empress Dowager Cixi. Options include Traditional Courtyard Rooms with private gardens, Deluxe Pavilions with king-size beds and island bathtubs, and Family Suites connecting a king suite with twin guestrooms. All feature Ming Dynasty-inspired furniture, twin vanities, and separate showers.
Imperial & Japanese Dining
The resort has three restaurants: The Grill serves prime cuts and seafood overlooking a reflection pond. Nama specializes in sushi and sashimi with an open kitchen counter. The Chinese Restaurant prepares Peking duck and Cantonese dim sum in Ming Dynasty-style dining rooms. Private dining is available in courtyards or the Reflection Pavilion by a lotus pond.
Underground Spa & Activities
A 5,000 sqm subterranean Aman Spa offers gemstone massages, Traditional Chinese Medicine therapies, and a 25m indoor pool. Guests can tour the Summer Palace via private gate, explore Beijing's hutongs by rickshaw, or participate in a Qing Dynasty-era photoshoot with costumes. The resort provides squash courts, yoga studios, and a private cinema.
