This was my second stay at Grand Bay Hotel Beijing, and it was just as exceptional as the first. Tracy Zhang, our dedicated concierge, was incredibly responsive—always on hand whenever we needed anything. When the room we booked didn’t quite match expectations, she swiftly arranged a replacement that exceeded our hopes. She even went out of her way to locate an Ethernet cable and an HDMI cord—small gestures, but they made a big difference. The hotel’s hot spring complex is beautifully nestled into the hills, offering stunning views across the landscape. With over ten different pools, each with its own unique vibe and scenic outlook, it’s perfect for those who appreciate nature and tranquility. That said, if you’re seeking complete privacy or highly themed family entertainment, this might not be the best fit. The kids’ play area is impressively large—among the biggest I’ve seen in any five-star resort in Beijing, rivaling Club Med, Badaling Jinyu, and Xishan Hot Spring Blue Parrot. Our suite was spacious and well-appointed, with all amenities meeting top-tier standards. The only downside? Prices during peak seasons are a bit steep. Also, the Ethernet port on the desk is non-functional—guests needing a wired connection must use the port behind the bedroom TV, which is about 5 meters away. Tracy managed to find a 2-meter cable, but it’s still inconvenient for guests working remotely. The jade stone sauna experience at the wellness center was oversubscribed, so we couldn’t book it. The indoor air-supported sports arena is huge—basketball, badminton, and table tennis courts all require reservations. Outside, there’s a small ice rink where you can skate or enjoy a fun ice sled ride. Overall, this is a standout destination for a peaceful, scenic retreat with excellent facilities. Despite minor drawbacks, the experience was thoroughly worthwhile.
