Doubletree by Hilton

Xuanwu District might seem a bit of a hike for eastsiders, but this weekly poolside buffet at the Doubletree by Hilton makes the trip well worth it. Every Sunday, the hotel’s rooftop garden terrace (adjacent to its sizeable, covered pool where you can swim to your heart’s content) is transformed into a serene retreat replete with a buffet and all-you-can-drink alcohol for a most agreeable RMB 158 per head (kids under the age of 2 get in free, otherwise it’s half price). Lounge chairs, tables, canopies and bean bags are scattered throughout the garden and guests are free to roam about as they nibble and munch on the sizeable selection of grilled goodies, including burgers, hot dogs, lamb chops and skewers, as well as a salad bar, fresh fruit, baked goods and desserts. Shower and changing facilities are also available, but be forewarned: though it’s possible to just turn up and plop down on any available spot on the lawn, larger parties are advised to reserve tables in advance.

Bad Service, decent food

Review of Doubletree by Hilton

My husband and I attended the Sunday BBQ Pool party today. Overall we had an enjoyable time: the lamb and burgers and hot dogs were juicy and big, with lots of fish, roasted veggies, salads and excellent breads, standard fruits and some pleasing if not the best ice cream. There was also wines and sodas, but the "On Tap" beer was simply canned Tsingtao poured into a dispenser, which the staff did in front of everyone!!!!! Also when we got there the staff were horribly disorganized!!! The concierge was supposed to show us to our table but she got distracted when she saw more clients coming and told us the staff outside would show us. They had no idea and left us standing for 10 minutes alone while they went a tried to sort it out which they did not. Eventually it became a free for all and people just took whatever tables were available. That left a bad impression and a bad start to the day. The pool was ok if too warm and it was too hot inside the swimming pool.

A very plesant afternoon

On the advice of a friend we decided hit up this place on a Sunday afternoon for their 158 RMB pool party and buffet. The food was actually pretty good, some freshly grilled meats, nice bread and decent selection of salads sauces etc to top off a bite. The pool is nice, and the garden is great (especially the ultra comfy beanbags dotted around the place). Music is pretty chilled too. Only bad thing is like every good thing in Beijing it attracts a crowd so can be quite busy.

Great on a Sunday afternoon

Went their with my family and a group of friends last weekend and had a fantastic time - the pool was cool and pristine, the garden was serene and the selection of food was enough to keep us and our kids satisfied for hours - we especially loved the lamb ribs. Free flow of beer and wine is also always a plus. The only downside is that I can see this weekly event getting so popular that it might be too crowded for comfort at some point...
