Aman at Summer Palace Beijing: Secluded Luxury in a Royal Garden

🌿 Aman at Summer Palace also helps travelers effortlessly experience Beijing's entertainment and landmarks, such as exploring the Summer Palace alone, visiting the Forbidden City, the Great Wall, the Temple of Heaven, and other iconic sights of Beijing. Not only that, the Aman Resorts group has a deep understanding of Beijing's hidden culture, ensuring that guests staying at Aman at Summer Palace can experience aspects of the city unknown to most tourists: including secret boutiques, restaurants, bars, galleries, as well as quintessential Beijing hutongs and historic siheyuans. Getting to the Summer Palace from the hotel is as simple as stepping through a magic door—yes, it's that easy and that cool. Just walk through a garden to reach a hidden gate, where the butler opens the door (the one shown in Figure 9), and you'll arrive directly at the Hall of Benevolence and Longevity in the Summer Palace. The hotel thoughtfully provides mineral water, and upon your return, a quick 10-minute call ensures the butler will be waiting for you. When the magic door closes, it feels like stepping from ancient times into a modern tourist spot, surrounded by crowds of visitors. Of course, the tourists will also be surprised, wondering where you came from. It's a fascinating experience. To me, it feels as if Aman itself is the Summer Palace. Only at Aman can one truly taste the essence of imperial life.
