Brickyard Retreat at Mutianyu

This is a very special place! We enjoyed the hot tub, delicious food, and finding lots of tranquil spots to sit and read. They also serve really good G&Ts!!

Such a peaceful getaway. Our villa was lovely and very well appointed with amazing views of the mountains. Staff are so nice and helpful. Feel like the description and pictures online don’t fully convey just how great this hotel is. Also, this is one of my favourite sections of the Great Wall and so convenient to be able to get to the hotel (and Wall) easily by taxi for around 170¥ from central Beijing. Highly recommend.

I stayed twice at this fabulous retreat close to Mutianyu Great Wall. It is a special place, with great views and beautiful rustic style rooms. Staff is always ready to help. Highly recommended, good for families, friends and solo trips alike.

Amazing villa ten minutes walk away from the hotel itself that stands apart as a private area, with multiple bedrooms, views of the Wall, and a lovely outdoor area. Hotel kindly delivered ingredients for breakfast, and recommendations for dinner nearby, while you can access hotel amenities like hot tub, and a gym. Will definitely return, great for a friends trip to the countryside.

Beautiful boutique hotel located very close to Mutianyu. Staff was excellent and helpful. We had a great experience and would definitely recommend!

Absolutely incredible experience! Breathtaking villa which was way bigger than I believed from the pictures, view of the wall from the living room, fully equipped kitchen, and amazing service. We ended up arriving very late (midnight) and Richard(?) was there to welcome us and went out of his way to make us feel welcome, help us with our bags, and help my mother out of the car + light her way in the dark. We received the choice of breakfast buffet (in Brickyard) or a packed picnic breakfast for us to cook in the villa. We originally said we wanted the buffet but after seeing the villa, we did not want to leave and asked to switch to the picnic. They did not disappoint! Pastries, eggs, bacon, sausage, lettuce, yoghurt, and fruit to feed a small army! 1000% recommend. We were so sad to only be staying one day. The staff is so friendly and really go out of their way to make us feel welcome, even providing shuttles to and from the wall, keeping our luggage safe, giving us extra bottles of water for the trip back to Beijing, and even helping us send our souvenirs home by the post. Worth every penny!

Really nice hotel not far from Great Wall! really enjoyed with my family! unique location and delicious kitchens!!!

Beautiful hotel just an hour outside Beijing. Book the suite and get cozy by the wood fire. You won't be disappointed!

It’s a beautiful boutique hotel in a very beautiful individual design and it feels like home. The room was comfortable warm, which was very nice as it was very cold outside. To get to the restaurant you have to go through the courtyard. The breakfast was delicious. On one day we had, as we were one of very few guests during the week, a plate with western breakfast, very tasty and beautifully arranged. The other day a tasty buffet with Western and Chinese breakfast. The service (hotel and restaurant) was very friendly and supportive. My friend tested the Jacuzzi which she found lovely. She tested the sauna as well (you need to tell the receptionist 40min before you like to start), it was ok. It’s small and part of a massage room. We had an aromatherapy TCM massage and it was one of the best we had for a long time. Lucy is an expert. We had a very relaxed time and explored the nature. And it’s only 15 min walk to the entrance of Mutianyu Great Wall.
