"Said to be the former residence of the infamous Qing dynasty eunuch, Li Lianying, Bamboo Garden was the first major courtyard-style hotel in Beijing and is among the most beautiful." Full review
Insight Guides
"Simple, clean rooms open onto a classical Chinese garden, with a great location close to the Drum Tower. What it lacks in facilities is more than made up for in atmosphere."

"The intimate, leafy courtyard at Bamboo Garden is appealing, even if the rooms, as in many of Běijīng’s courtyard hotels, can’t quite match the elegant, hushed atmosphere." Full review
Travel + Leisure
