4 tips for savvy savings when booking a hotel in Beijing

  1. Book for the cheapest times: The most affordable time to visit Beijing is during January, February, and December, when hotel prices are typically lower. For an enriching experience that covers the city's significant landmarks, historical sites, and cultural offerings, it is advisable to stay for at least 3 to 4 days. This duration allows you to explore essential attractions such as temples, museums, monuments, and art galleries, all while enjoying great value for money in a budget-friendly manner. Additionally, visiting during these months could mean that prices may drop further, making it an even more appealing time 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 hotel rates as your travel date approaches. Enable email alerts or push notifications to stay informed about flash sales and special promotions, helping you secure great savings on hotels. Additionally, the Smart Shopping tool available via the app allows you to compare room rates and amenities, increasing your chances of finding the best prices. You could be among the first to know if prices drop or new rooms become available, making your last-minute getaway more achievable.
  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. Therefore, being flexible with your travel dates could help you save on your stay in a hotel in Beijing. For those seeking distinctive accommodations, boutique hotels often provide a more personalised experience and may offer better value. When you book through Hotels.com, we will inform you whether the price for your chosen dates is above or below the average. If the price appears to be on the higher side, we will recommend more affordable dates, which may increase the likelihood of saving you money.
  4. Consider your location: Hotels situated near the city centre usually tend to be more expensive, but with Beijing's superb public transport links, you may 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 towns, there is often excellent value for money to be found.
