Hutongs are basically alleys or lanes that were developed during the city’s many dynasties and those looking for a centrally located Beijing luxury hotel from which to explore these areas can stay at Regent Beijing. This luxury hotel in Beijing is conveniently located in the historic quarter and is set amidst hutongs. Once a part of what were courtyard residences, these traditional style constructions surrounded the famous Forbidden City.
