Important information about traveling with kids:
Some hotels may charge extra for a rollaway bed or a crib - depending upon age. This possible extra charge is not always displayed by the hotel to appear with the list of available rates offered.
In order to make sure that you see the exact rate that you will be charged for an accommodation for more than 2 adults, it is best to double-check by emailing us at customer service with your dates and the ages of your children. We will be happy to confirm rates and availability for you.

The hotel will be closed for the month of June, 2009 due to emergency construction immediately adjacent to the hotel.
We’re not sure exactly who it is that decides these matters, but we’ve got it on good authority that the courtyard hotel is the next big Beijing thing. Of course we’re not talking about the American courtyard hotel, the big beige kind by the airport, with a warm pool in the middle giving everything a faint smell of bleach; we’re talking about the traditional Chinese version — and the Hotel Côté Cour SL is as fine an example as any.
Here off a narrow alley in Old Beijing you’ll find fourteen rooms and suites surrounding a central garden, complete with lily pond in the center. The interiors have authentic traditional character to spare, which is little diluted by the addition of modern conveniences like flat-screen televisions and wireless internet. They’ve got tactile comfort (down duvets and fine fabrics) and reserved, private atmosphere in spades — Côté Cour SL couldn’t feel more different from the massive megahotels that are Beijing’s usual business-traveler haunts.
Services, though, are minimal — a continental breakfast is served in the lounge, as are drinks later in the day. It’s a small price to pay, though, for this kind of exclusivity — if it’s activity you’re after, there are no end of places in Beijing to find it.

Hotel Cote Cour SL
Stayed March 2009
Overall rating: Excellent
I Liked
The staff was incredible. They were beyond our expectations. We truly felt attended to in every sense. I cant say enough great things about them.I Disliked
The hotel was located on a hutong. I highly recommend getting a driver if you stay here. Very few taxis would drive down the hutong and anyone having a problem walking would be disappointed. We had a driver so we only had to take taxis home after dinner, but walking at night in the dark down the hutong was a little uncomfortable. Plus it was freezing while we were there. Only other thing was hotel could take away the dead trees in the courtyard and clean the beautiful koi pond better, but honestly the staff made up for any of this 100 fold. I would definately stay there again.63 user(s) found this review helpful
Hotel Cote Cour SL Beijing, china
Stayed November 2008
Overall rating: Good
I Liked
The hotel is in a great location & gave us a feel for the fast disippearing traditional life in Beijing.The traditional courtyard home style of the hotel gave us a feel for what life must have been like several hundreds of years ago in beijing & these 2 things alone made the stay memorable. The service and helpfulness of the staff was outstanding & their knowledge of Beijing made sight seeing very easy.I Disliked
Breakfast lacked choice & imagination compaired to most comparable hotels& the charge for a luke warm & bitter cup of coffee or tea was tatally unreasonable & should be offered complimentary in such a small establishment.626 user(s) found this review helpful
Wonderful stay at the Hotel Cote Cour SL
Stayed October 2008
Overall rating: Excellent
I Liked
My wife and 5 year old son just spent a week in Beijing. One of the highlights was staying at the Cote Cour SL. The hotel provided a unique experience. It gave us a real sense of what it is like to actually live in Beijing. One can not say enough about the service provided by the hotel staff. Perhaps the best example is that our son turned 5 while we were in Beijing. The manger went out of his way and bought him a birthday present-Ping Pong paddles. Then spent the better part of an afternoon playing with my son. I am not sure who enjoyed my son's birthday more my son or the hotel manager. The rooms are well kept and clean. We found the location excellent but be forewarned not all taxi drivers know where the hotel is located. If you go I would advise you to have both the hotel's taxi card and a Beijing map with the hotel's location marked. The hotel is an excellent choice for children. We felt very safe letting our son play in the courtyard by himself. Something we would not do at a larger hotel. The staff would usually play with our son and most days when we were sightseeing he would complain that he wanted to go back to the hotel to play. The size of the hotel also allows you to meet and get to know the other guests. Wireless internet is free so don't forget your lap top. Overall we had a wonderful experience and highly recommend this hotel. When we return to Beijing we will stay here.I Disliked
Nothing really. But keep in mind that taxi drivers may find it difficult to find. Have the hotel's taxi card and a map with the hotel's location marked. The hotel has both.915 user(s) found this review helpful
Wonderful Experience
Stayed October 2008
Overall rating: Excellent
I Liked
The service was wonderful. Everyone at the hotel was welcoming, friendly, and knowledgeable. We stayed in two different rooms and both were very comfortable. The location in the Yanyue Hutong provides a real authenticity to the stay. The hotel is an easy taxi ride away from the cities many sites. The staff will write your directions in Mandarin as most taxi drivers do not speak English. Breakfast is included and very good. Lunch and dinner were delicious - simple flavors perfectly executed. The rooftop terrace was a lovely place to watch the sun set and enjoy a cold beer. Shawna, the owner, was there for a few days and she was full of recommendations and helpful suggestions about where to dine, where to visit. We can't wait to visit her new hotel in the Factory 798 district. It felt like home and we were truly sad to leave.I Disliked
First room was right off of the front desk and could be a bit noisy. Recommend requesting a room off the main courtyard.1012 user(s) found this review helpful
