During my stay at Aman Summer Palace Beijing, I adored the unique location right next to the Summer Palace, which allowed for peaceful early morning walks through the beautiful grounds. However, the service didn’t quite live up to the high standards I expected from Aman, with inconsistent attentiveness and occasional language barriers. Overall, the experience was enjoyable but had some disappointing aspects that may cause me to reconsider staying again.
