One of my favorite Aman stays was here at the Aman Summer Palace.
Just steps from the East Gate of the Unesco-protected Summer Palace lies a peaceful retreat, just 20km northwest of Beijing’s city centre. The tranquil courtyards of Aman Summer Palace are overlooked by gracious pavilions – those that housed guests of the Empress Dowager Cixi over 100 years old. With a private entrance into the historic garden estate with its lakes, pagodas and landscaped grounds, Aman Summer Palace is also ideally placed for discovering the capital’s other Unesco World Heritage Sites, including the Forbidden City and the Great Wall. Signature Japanese restaurant Nama is one of five dining venues, and the vast underground recreational complex offers an Aman Spa, swimming pool, squash court, Pilates studio and cinema.
Explore The City’s Wonders From The Setting of Aman Summer Palace.
Taking its name from the Unesco World Heritage Site that lies steps from the property’s boundary, Aman Summer Palace is steeped in history. Its carefully restored dwellings were once used by courtiers awaiting an audience with the Empress Dowager Cixi; today they house elegant guest rooms, opening on to pretty courtyards. A secret door takes guests directly into the grounds of the Summer Palace, which can be explored privately out of hours. During your three-night stay, explore Beijing’s storied wonders, including the magnificent Forbidden City and Lama Temple. Take a private tour of the fabled Summer Palace and, later, unwind with a gemstone massage.
The 3-night stay includes:
• Daily set breakfast
• A Chinese tea ceremony
• A guided tour of the Summer Palace
• A one-day tour of Beijing’s Forbidden City, Lama Temple and Hutong
• One 60-minute Gemstone massage per person
