Battle for the Best Beijing Boutique Hotels for the Combat Games!
Hotel G Beijing is the first of an exclusive beijing boutique hotel brand launched by Hong Kong-based real estate private equity management firm Gaw Capital and a model to be rolled out in selected cities of Asia.For more information,please visit http://www.hotel-g.com.
Sure, we can experience Chinese food on almost every street corner, we can see people with Chinese character tattoos walking past us every day, and we can watch mixed martial arts on every sport channel from every pay TV provider across the world.
But there’s really nothing like eating Cantonese food in Canton, hearing people speak Chinese as their native language and watching those who’ve grown up with Shaolin boxing, jujitsu, aikido and Muay Thai practice their sports with others who have combat in their blood! That’s what many tourists will be doing over the course of the Beijing Combat Games tournament from the 28th of August to the 4th of September.
Over a thousand martial artists will be competing in 13 disciplines, with martial arts as popular as ju-jitsu and as niche as wushu represented. All those bruised bodies, as well as many thousands more inspired fans, will be looking for some convenient, creative and well-catered Beijing accommodation and Beijing boutique hotels to stay at … today we check out some of the best.
Hotel G in Beijing is only a short 15 minute trip away from National Indoor Stadium, where most of the Combat Games events will be held. Spectators can make their way from the designer hotel in Beijing to the stadium on public transport just as easily as by taxi, also. Hotel G has sat at the top of the TripAdvisor ratings for quite a while now, consistently getting rave reviews since its opening a couple of years ago.
Even the lowest priced rooms in this gorgeous new Beijing boutique hotel have quite a few little luxuries, like rainforest showers for sore muscles after ‘training’, iPod docking stations to help you relax after the adrenaline-charged atmosphere of the games, and a Nintendo Wii is available for hire if you want to try out any new moves you picked up while watching the events!
The Beijing hotel itself is a fascinating place to stay, designed by Mark Lintott in a gorgeous vintage-inspired 1960s chic style. Artworks and massive TVs adorn the walls, there is a decadent pillow menu as well as delicious food from the on-site Japanese fusion restaurant attached to the Beijing designer hotel.
Shangri La’s Kerry Center Beijing Hotel in the Chaoyang district is also very well placed for tourists wanting to focus on the Combat Games, around 20 minutes either by car or public transport from Guanghua Road to the stadium, you still have the convenience of great nightspots and dining right near your Beijing hotel room.
The beds here are massive … if you’ve been imitating the Combat Games competitors and have a few bruises to nurse through the night, you’ll get a great night’s sleep at this bed and breakfast in Beijing. There are beautiful city or garden views as well as luxurious-feeling high ceilinged rooms.
Or if you want to feel like a real traditional Chinese martial arts practitioner, try Lu Song Yuan Hotel, a traditional compound quadrangle within an historic hutong. Standard rooms at this Beijing accommodation are basic but great value … probably a lot more like what Beijing’s olden-day martial monks would have experienced! This Beijing hotel is just as close as either Hotel G or Shangri-La, and very close to public transport.
