Why we recommend it
Aman Summer Palace occupies historic courtyard buildings next to the Summer Palace, and its greatest privilege is proximity: guests can reach the imperial gardens through a nearby gate, early in the morning before the crowds arrive.
Rooms and pavilions are arranged around quiet courtyards in traditional style, with an atmosphere far removed from the pace of central Beijing.
Location
The hotel is in Haidian district, north-west of the city centre, directly beside the Summer Palace. The Forbidden City is around an hour away by car, depending on traffic.
