The AND ROOF at The Emperor Qianmen offers a completely different, yet equally exciting, perspective on Beijing. If the China Bar is about the modern city, AND ROOF is all about the ancient, historic heart of the capital. AND ROOF is a magnificent rooftop terrace and bar famous for its unique and spectacular views, especially of the historic central district. Unlike the towering skyscrapers, this bar is situated low enough to offer an unparalleled visual sweep over the traditional, swooping grey-tiled rooftops of the nearby Forbidden City and Tiananmen Square area. The venue also features a fantastic seasonal outdoor swimming pool cantilevered over the side, providing an incredibly chic place to relax and enjoy the scenery. Many visitors suggest coming for a drink at dusk to witness the magic of the sun setting over Beijing’s historic imperial architecture—it’s truly a one-of-a-kind experience.
The bar offers a selection of light international cuisine, a variety of wines, and cocktails, and is described as being one of the largest hotel roof bars in Beijing. While the bar’s name is occasionally referenced as “Shang” or “Roof Terrace” on some older hotel listings, its stunning views and pool deck are its defining features. It typically operates during the warmer months (April to October) as a beautiful al fresco dining and drinking spot. The hotel itself is known for its elegant design and prime location, making AND ROOF a perfect destination for both luxury and historic sightseeing! Rooftop with views toward Qianmen and tiled roofs by day and a cinematic cityscape by night. Perfect after a hutong walk or shopping on the nearby pedestrian street.
