I stayed in LiveFortuna hotel in December 2024 for 5 days. It’s located near Ritan park and midway between subway stations. Roughly a ten minute walk either direction, Most fares are 3 rmb around the immediate area. Capital express line is 1 transfer to access and 25 rmb to the Peking International airport. Rooms are modern with a loft platform bedroom ( at least mine was) There is a stove top and microwave but you have to ask for just about all the usual cooking utensils. My room basically had 2 teaspoons, mugs, glasses and towels for the bathroom. Nothing else like plates, pans, tea towels, detergent etc. Seems like you can ask for these things, but in the end I didn’t. I guess they must have people stealing everything that’s not bolted down. But a corkscrew would have been appreciated.
On the positive side. The hotel has the best gym equipment of any hotel I’ve stayed in. There is also a heated pool. However no spa or sauna. You are required to wear a bathing cap, seems to be a thing in China. They will lend you one.
Buffet breakfast is good value. Runs from 7 to 10 am and a good selection of Chinese and western food. They will cook you omelets. Nice machine coffee.
Ritan park is 2 minutes walk away, free entry these days. A great place to people watch.
Midday check out. Lots of restaurants and eateries in the area. Hotel ATM can withdraw cash although it looks like China is rapidly moving towards a cashless transaction society ( Alipay, WeChat pay maybe Apple Pay …
