4 tips for savvy savings when booking a hotel in Beijing

  1. Book for the cheapest times: The most budget-friendly time to visit Beijing is during January, February, and December, when hotel prices are generally lower. For a fulfilling experience that covers the city’s significant landmarks, cultural sites, and historical attractions, a stay of at least 3 to 4 days is recommended. During this time, you can explore iconic sites such as temples, monuments, and museums, all while enjoying great value for money. Keep an eye out, as prices may drop during these months, making it an excellent opportunity for those travelling on a budget.
  2. Look for last-minute deals on Hotels.com: To uncover last-minute deals to Beijing, visit the DealsOpens in a new window or Last-Minute Deals sections on Hotels.com, where you may discover discounted rates on nearby accommodations as your travel date approaches. You could also enable email alerts or push notifications to stay informed about flash sales and special promotions, helping you secure the best hotel deal. Additionally, the Smart Shopping tool available through the app allows you to compare hotel prices and amenities, so you’re more likely to see the best rates. This way, if prices drop or rooms become available, you’ll be among the first to know for your spontaneous getaway.
  3. Be flexible with dates: Prices can fluctuate based on various factors such as the hotel's location, star rating, and the time of year, so being flexible with your dates could help you save on your stay in a hotel in Beijing. For those seeking a unique experience, boutique hotels often provide a more personalised touch and sometimes offer better value. When you book through Hotels.com, we’ll inform you if the price for your chosen dates is above or below average. If the price is on the higher end, we’ll recommend alternative dates that may be more budget-friendly, increasing your chances of securing a great deal.
  4. Consider your location: Hotels located closer to the city centre usually tend to be more expensive. However, with Beijing's excellent public transport options, you might discover a more affordable independent hotel a bit further out that remains well connected. For those keen to explore alternative, less crowded neighbourhoods or even lesser-known nearby cities, there's often great value for money to be found. Opting for these alternative destinations could provide a more authentic and budget-friendly experience.
