Introduction
Nestled against the mountains, Xitan Hotel Beijing has been meticulously redesigned with a deep respect for the preservation of ancient architecture, native flora, and seamless integration into the surrounding landscape. The hotel harmoniously blends into the layered terrain and distinctive charm of the mountainous setting. Located in the former Yangpoyuan Cun in Mentougou, western Beijing, it sits atop the Tanzhe Shan (Mountain) foothills, just a kilometer away from the ancient Tanzhe Temple, which dates back over a thousand years. The layout follows the natural contours of the land, "concealing" the structures within the valley while maintaining the texture and scale of the historic village.

Facilities
The hotel’s 38 guest rooms are discreetly scattered across 10 courtyards named with poetic elegance: Bao Cui, Huan Cui, Di Cui, Ying Cui, Han Cui, Lan Cui, Yi Cui, Ru Cui, Nuan Cui, and Yong Cui. Each either blends into the garden scenery or embraces the mountain views, with diverse designs that bridge indoor living and the natural world. The on-site restaurant, The House of Rong, is helmed by Xin Rong Ji—the only Michelin three-star Chinese culinary brand in mainland China—offering an exquisite dining experience infused with the heritage of the ancient village.
Tucked amid the green hills and clouds, the hotel also features a whisky bar, caviar bar, café shop, tea house, meditation room, gym, spa, THX private cinema, and KTV, providing a full range of leisure amenities.
Nearby Attractions
Tanzhe Temple
"First came Tanzhe Temple, then Beijing." With over 1,700 years of history, Tanzhe Temple is the oldest recorded Buddhist site in Beijing, a place where millennia of culture and spirituality converge. Stepping inside feels like entering a time capsule—every brick and tile whispers tales of the ages. Ancient trees tower overhead, incense smoke curls into the air, and the tranquil atmosphere invites visitors to slow down and listen to their inner voice.
Here, the distant chime of temple bells carries away worldly worries. Make a wish before the hall’s altars, touch the legendary stone fish for health and peace, and let your spirit be cleansed.

Located in Tanzhesi, Mentougou, Tanko is a stylish valley-side commercial hub where the vibrancy of daily life meets the serenity of escape. This innovative town features a mix of trendy brands, including Cinker Pictures (dine-in cinema), Berry Beans (specialty hand-drip coffee), and numerous chic boutiques for dining and shopping.
