Where to sleep in Beijing — the neighborhoods and the picks, siesta side to fiesta side.
Dongcheng — hutong heritage
Courtyard hotels in the lanes near the Forbidden City and the Drum Tower.
Wangfujing — first-timer central
Walking-street convenience a stroll from Tiananmen.
Sanlitun — the modern night
Embassy-district bars, malls and late kitchens.
Great Wall overnight
Sleep near Mutianyu or Gubei Water Town to beat the wall's day-trip waves.
