Hutong Moli Hotel Beijing Wangfujing(former Beijing Double Happiness Courtyard Hotel) occupies the original site of Yuewei Zhuang, one of Mr. Ji Xiaolan’s residences during his later years in Beijing and the very place where he penned his renowned work, *Notes from the Yuewei Cottage* (Yuewei Caotang Biji). Situated in close proximity to the Forbidden City, the Wangfujing commercial district, and Chang'an Avenue, the hotel offers easy walking access to cultural landmarks such as Nanluoguxiang. With a major subway hub just steps away, it allows guests to fully embrace both the bustling vibrancy and the serene tranquility of this ancient capital.
Adhering to the authentic architectural canons of the Beijing-style *Siheyuan* (courtyard house), the complex features a symmetrical layout centered on a central axis. It preserves the traditional structural framework of Old Beijing courtyards—characterized by grey tiles, blue bricks, and intricately carved and painted beams—while seamlessly integrating cultural exhibition elements. This approach sustains the cultural memory of the traditional courtyard lifestyle, allowing guests to immerse themselves in the unique courtyard ethos and cultural spirit of Old Beijing.
Meticulously transformed from two century-old courtyard houses, the hotel features 59 elegant guest rooms ranging in size from 35 to 200 square meters. It stands as a rare gem within Beijing—a courtyard-style retreat offering private hot springs within the city center. The hotel offers a diverse range of room types to suit various travel needs, complemented by a dedicated 24-hour butler service. From welcome amenities and personalized itinerary planning to private dining experiences, guests enjoy exclusive, one-on-one service throughout their stay.
Crafted with meticulous precision and significant investment, the hotel pays scrupulous attention to every detail, with a particular focus on three signature public areas:
· The *Cultural Gallery*: Showcasing artifacts reflecting the lifestyle of Qing Dynasty literati alongside historical archives of Beijing’s Dongcheng District, this space allows both domestic and international guests to immerse themselves in the rich cultural heritage of the ancient capital.
· The *Rooftop View Café*: Offering panoramic vistas of the courtyard complex, guests can admire the picturesque interplay of blue bricks and grey tiles stretching out below.
· The *TCM Massage & Spa*: Drawing upon traditional wellness philosophies, this sanctuary employs renowned practitioners—designated inheritors of Beijing’s intangible cultural heritage in massage therapy—to help travelers soothe their bodies and minds, relieving the fatigue of their journeys.
Furthermore, the hotel is equipped with a comprehensive array of facilities designed to meet every guest's diverse needs, including a fitness center, multi-functional meeting rooms, an elegant tea house, a boutique gift shop, a restaurant, an executive lounge, a bar, private business suites, and laundry services. As a secluded sanctuary of luxury nestled at the foot of the Imperial City, this destination seamlessly blends the millennia-old heritage of Beijing-style *siheyuan* courtyards with traditional Beijing culture, establishing itself as a truly distinctive paradigm of refined hospitality.

  • The thoughtful service hidden in the hutong courtyard blends the warmth of old Beijing into every detail

    This time I came to visit Longfu Temple in Beijing and specifically stayed at Hutong Moli Hotel Beijing Wangfujing. Originally, I only came for its unique atmosphere of hutongs and courtyards, but unexpectedly, after experiencing the whole process, the most unforgettable thing was not the antique Chinese scenery, but the attentive service from entering the courtyard to leaving the hotel, which was completely hidden in the exclusive warmth of the city's fireworks.
    I turned into the alley at around 6pm, dragging my suitcase. As soon as I reached the entrance, I saw the butler waiting at the alley entrance. He quickly approached me and took the suitcase from my hand, afraid that I wouldn't be familiar with the cobblestone road in the alley and would slip my foot. He walked on the outside to help me block the passing bicycles. After entering the hospital, there was no cumbersome front desk registration process. The housekeeper directly led me to the tea table in the atrium, handed me a cup of warm jasmine snow pear tea, and gently reminded me while helping me go through the procedures. The alley was dark at night, so you can call the front desk at any time when you go out, and they will arrange someone to come out and pick up.
    When I returned to my room to put down my luggage, within ten minutes, the housekeeper sent me a small hand-made Pea puree cake, saying that it was a small Dim sum with the characteristics of old Beijing, and asked me to pad my stomach. He also left me a handwritten note on it, which marked three old Beijing restaurants around that did not tread on thunder, and which one was the most authentic Zhajiangmian, and which one opened late at night. I casually mentioned that I wanted to get up early the next day and go to Longfu Temple to watch the sunrise. The next morning, when I went out, I saw the housekeeper waiting at the gate of the hospital, handed me a paper bag containing hot soybean milk and sesame Shaobing (Baked cake in griddle), and said that the breakfast shop in the alley had just opened in the morning. I was afraid I would not be able to buy it in time, so I saved one for me in advance.
    Halfway back from strolling through the alley, I casually told the butler that my feet were a bit sore after walking all day. When I returned to my room in the evening, I saw that the foot soaking bucket was already placed by the bed, and there was a small bag of mugwort foot soaking bags next to it. The butler left a note saying that the water temperature had been adjusted to the appropriate level and that soaking my feet would relieve fatigue. I accidentally left my bracelet at the cultural and creative store in Longfu Temple. With a try it out attitude, I called the front desk. Within half an hour, the butler helped me retrieve the bracelet and smiled, saying that they often go around the area and are familiar with the store owner. This small matter is not troublesome at all.
    On the day of departure, it rained lightly. The butler not only helped me move my luggage to the car in advance, but also handed me a transparent umbrella with a jasmine pattern printed on it. He said that the rain wouldn't stop for a while and asked me to bring it with me on the road. Next time I come to Beijing, just message them directly. Having stayed in so many homestays and hotels that focus on unique experiences, many places' services are just superficial formalities. However, the service of Hutong Moli Hotel Beijing Wangfujing truly takes into account the subtle needs of guests, without excessive warm disturbance, but always provides the right kind of warmth when you need it. This first-class service hidden in the alley is the most reluctant reason to leave this courtyard.Show more

  • The Chinese style courtyard hidden in Wangfujing Hutong has brought the slow days of old Beijing into daily life

    This time in Beijing, I deliberately avoided the bustling chain hotels and chose Hutong Moli Hotel Beijing Wangfujing. Just a few steps from the bustling Wangfujing Street into the hutong, the Chinese style courtyard door with blue tiles and gray walls hit my eyes. After staying for two days, I realized that this was the most comfortable way to open the hutong life in old Beijing.
    Opening the heavy wooden door, the traffic on the street was immediately separated from the courtyard. Two jasmines were planted beside the stone landscape of the Taihu Lake Lake in the atrium. When the wind blew, a faint fragrance of flowers came, and even the air was covered with a soft fragrance. The girl at the front desk was wearing a plain Chinese cheongsam. When handing over my room card, she casually gave me a small can of homemade jasmine sachet. She smiled and said it could calm me down by the pillow. She even pointed me to the outdoor tea house hidden in the courtyard, saying that sitting there in the evening breeze was particularly comfortable.
    The room I live in has a new Chinese style decoration style, without overly piled up internet famous elements. The desk is made of old elm wood and paired with plain linen bedding. There is a small pot of bamboo in the corner of the wall, and a set of white porcelain tea sets is placed on the couch by the window. Pushing open the wooden window, you can see the blue tiled eaves in the courtyard, and even the sound of pigeon whistles in the distant alley can be heard clearly. The most surprising thing is the attention to detail. There is no extra thread on the bedding, and the bathroom has a sunken dry wet separation. The shower gel is mixed with a faint jasmine fragrance, and even the slippers are embroidered with jasmine patterns of cotton and linen, making them soft and comfortable to step on.
    The location of the courtyard is really amazing. It takes only ten minutes to walk to Longfu Temple Cultural and Creative Park. After turning two corners, you will reach Wangfujing Street. At night, after taking a walk back to the alley, even the light from the street lamps is warm yellow. The surrounding area is filled with old Beijing restaurants that have been open for over a decade. You can easily find authentic braised dishes and door nail meat patties within a three minute walk, without having to take a taxi to find old brands. I deliberately got up early, followed my parents in the alley to the breakfast shop at the entrance of the alley to buy coke rings and fermented sour milk made from ground mung bean wow gold, sat on the tea table in the courtyard and ate in the morning light. The slow old Beijing smoke is totally beyond the feeling of living in a high-rise hotel.
    In the evening, the housekeeper of the courtyard specially brought a bowl of iced jasmine Broth of white fungus soup, and sat at a small table in the atrium to chat with the guests in the courtyard. The wind was blowing jasmine fragrance, and even time seemed to slow down. Having stayed in so many hotels in Beijing, it's rare to come across a place that blends the charm of old Beijing hutongs with a comfortable accommodation experience. Hutong Moli Hotel Beijing Wangfujing is not just a place to stay overnight, but also a small stronghold that allows you to calm down and truly touch the warmth of old Beijing hutongs. Next time I come to Beijing, I will definitely stay in this small courtyard for two more days.Show more
