Fodor's Review:

Beijing's first boutique courtyard hotel is located in a carefully restored, traditional Chinese courtyard house in historically preserved Dongsi Hutong. Each of the five rooms is decorated with antiques and according to a different theme, including the "Chairman's Suite," the two "Concubines' Private Courtyards," and the two "Author's Suites" (one inspired by Edgar Snow, an American journalist who lived in Beijing in the 1930s and 1940s, and the other by Han Suyin, a famous novelist). The bathrooms are modern, and all rooms have satellite television. There is also a cigar lounge where you can sit on original furnishings used by China's early revolutionary leaders, as well as a wine bar in a Cultural Revolution-era bomb shelter. Special arrangements can also be made for guests to tour Beijing at night in Madame Mao's Red Flag limousine. The Red Capital Residence offers a continental breakfast; for other meals take the hotel pedicab to the nearby Red Capital Club, a sister establishment also set in a restored courtyard home.
