6 Days of Xmas: Win a Staycation at Four Seasons Hotel Beijing

There’s something special about a staycation. Even if you’re only a few miles away from home, those plush bed sheets just feel that little bit more comfortable knowing you're not going to have to make the bed the next morning. And that counts for double when you're in the luxurious environs of a property like Four Seasons Hotel Beijing.  

Imagine trading in your apartment for a stay in one of the Four Seasons' finest rooms, followed by breakfast for two the next morning. You could relax by the sun-lit pool, treat yourself to a massage at the spa, or dine at one of their two Michelin-starred restaurants. And all you have to do is leave a comment at the bottom of this post (more details below).

The hotel is located right on the banks of the Liangma River (which was recently named one of Beijing's top wanghong spots), putting you within easy walking distance of Solana and Chaoyang Park for a spot of shopping or winter exercise. Guest rooms are arranged around a dramatic 20-storey indoor atrium, home to a wall of 400 stainless-steel butterflies stretching up to the sky.

Even better, for those missing the feeling of Christmas back in their home countries (which we imagine is most of us this season), the Four Seasons has really committed to their holiday decorations, from the three metre-long real gingerbread house in the lobby to the massive tree decked out in red and gold taking pride of place in Opus Lounge.  

That Christmas tree will be the perfect place for a festive photo op after you've enjoyed a brunch featuring classic roast turkey and other Christmas essentials (RMB 688 per person, RMB 344 for kids aged 6-12), plus Christmas-themed sweet treats that all the family will love. Alternatively, indulge in an authentic Italian dining experience at Mio, where chef Marco Arlotti has created menus of modern Christmas dishes, including a six-course Christmas Eve feast (RMB 1,388) featuring dishes like Alaskan king crab with Oscietra caviar, foie gras terrine, and traditional Italian Christmas tortellini. Fancy a more casual taste of Christmas? Try the Christmas-themed afternoon tea in Opus Lounge (RMB 268) including adorable little Christmassy cakes, as well as a glass of mulled wine.

For families, Four Seasons offers that elusive "good for both kids and adults" experience. Keep the kids occupied with a series of hands-on activities like gingerbread decorating or pizza making (RMB 280 or complementary for families staying in suites) so that you can enjoy a spa treatment or maybe even a glass of champagne at Opus Bar. Make it a proper treat with a staycation in the Terrace Suite (RMB 7,888 per night), which includes complimentary Christmas decorations and festive in-room amenities, access to the executive lounge, and breakfast at Opus Lounge for two adults and two children.
