The Best Staycations and Deals for Families and Couples This Labor Day Holiday
We might not be able to travel very far this May holiday, but that doesn’t mean you can’t still make it a special occasion for you and your family or loved one. We’ve rounded up a list of some of the best Beijing hotel staycation options that are catering specifically to families and couples. As well as treating yourself and your tribe to a well-deserved break, and a change of scene from your apartment, it also offers a great opportunity to discover a part of town you may not know too well.
Please note: Due to COVID19, all hotel guests will be required to prove that they have been in Beijing for more than 14 days, and have completed any necessary quarantines. They may also be required to complete a nucleic acid test, or show proof of having taken the test within the last seven days.
