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 tend to be lower. To truly appreciate the city's rich history and cultural heritage, planning a stay of at least 3 days is recommended. This duration allows budget-conscious travellers to explore key landmarks such as temples, museums, and historical monuments, alongside engaging in shopping and art tours. With careful planning, visitors can enjoy great value for money while experiencing the vibrant culture of Beijing.
  2. Look for last-minute deals on Hotels.com: To discover last-minute deals to Beijing, visit the Deals or Last-Minute Deals sections on Hotels.com, where you may find discounted rates on accommodation close to your travel date. Enabling email alerts or push notifications can keep you informed about flash sales and special promotions, helping you save on your stay. Additionally, Smart Shopping is a useful comparison tool within the app that allows you to compare hotel prices and amenities, ensuring you're more likely to see the best options for budget-friendly hotels in Beijing. You'll be notified about any price drops or availability changes, making it easier to secure a last-minute getaway.
  3. Be flexible with dates: Prices can fluctuate depending 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 Beijing hotel. 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 is on the higher end, we could suggest alternative dates that may be more affordable, helping you to secure the best possible deal.
  4. Consider your location: Hotels situated near the city centre generally tend to be more expensive; however, thanks to Beijing's outstanding public transport connections, you may discover a more affordable independent hotel a bit further out that is still conveniently linked. For those keen to explore alternative, less crowded neighbourhoods or even lesser-known nearby towns, there is often excellent value for money available. Opting for these alternative locations could provide a more authentic and budget-conscious experience.
