Overview
Beijing Xinxiang Yayuan Courtyard is located in Yanle Hutong, a 10-minute walk from Wangfujing. It is a surprise hidden in the ancient Beijing Hutong. The hotel was renovated and upgraded from Beijing's traditional Zhengsi Siheyuan and has rich cultural heritage. The design style is to retain the traditional red and green elements of the courtyard house outdoors and to combine the modern Zen-like tranquility indoors. Free WIFI is provided. The courtyard is just a 6-minute walk from Dongsi Metro Station, a 10-minute drive from the Forbidden City or Tiananmen Square, a 20-minute drive from Houhai, Nanluoguxiang or Sanlitun, and about a 50-minute drive from Beijing Capital International Airport. The courtyard is planned to have nine rooms with different characteristics, including flowers, water, exclusive terraces, and corridors and pavilions. The whole house is equipped with intelligent equipment and professional lighting design, making it warm, fragrant and elegant. The large projection is also a good experience to watch an immersive movie while taking a break during travel, making the room comfortable and like home but better than home. Staying at Xinxiang Yayuan Courtyard is not only a trip, but also a cultural contact with time and space. With help from the staff, you can explore old Beijing by strolling through the alleys. The courtyard also provides luggage storage services to help you take care of your heavy luggage, and also provides fax and photocopying facilities for business travelers. The courtyard provides free buffet breakfast. The "Hua Jin Tang" tea room in the courtyard provides tea and coffee for guests to enjoy throughout the day. After a long trip, it’s nice to relax on the terrace with a cup of tea and view.

“Warm hospitality made this a truly memorable stay.”
Our family of four had a wonderful stay at Xinxiang Yayuan Courtyard Hotel. 姜经理 and the entire team, especially 小郭, 小付, 笑笑, and 小王, made us feel genuinely welcomed and cared for throughout our stay. The attention to detail was exceptional—from saving breakfast for a missing family member to preparing takeaway breakfasts for our early departures. We were also touched by the thoughtful surprises for our wedding anniversary and my husband's birthday. The hotel beautifully blends traditional courtyard charm with modern comforts. Staying in a historic courtyard house while using the 小度 smart assistant was a unique experience, and our kids especially loved the koi fish and resident birds, 来福 and 豆豆. This was one of the most personal and memorable hotel experiences we've ever had. Thank you to the entire team for making our stay so special!

“Perfect family-run hotel in the heart of Beijing”
Very nice family-run hotel in the heart of Beijing. The staff is exceptionally friendly and helpful, always offering support and services at any moment of the day. The atmosphere is lovely — it feels like stepping into a historic residence and leaving behind the chaos of the city. The location is excellent, close to the metro, many activities, and the main tourist attractions in the city center. The personalized breakfast and afternoon tea were particularly appreciated. I would definitely recommend simply trusting the staff and enjoying the stay.

“Highly recommended for families or anyone who would like to have an authentic experience in Beijing!”
We had an awesome stay in this courtyard hotel. The property is based in an old traditional alley with settings like the olden days but amenities are modern and service is top notch. The staff is so hospitable making sure we were very looked after. The daily afternoon tea is so thoughtful and delicious. Kids get to feed fishes and make cotton candy. Breakfast was delicious too.
