Jess and Jay’s Beijing debut begins with awe and chaos turned into pure excitement. Landing at the Four Seasons Beijing, they’re greeted with an unforgettable welcome that quickly becomes the emotional centerpiece of the episode: flowers, a personalized note, and a staff who seem to anticipate every vegan dietary need.

They reflect on the city’s juxtaposition of “beautiful chaos” and meticulous Four Seasons service, noting the staff’s thoughtfulness from the moment they arrive: a vase of flowers, a note, a personally arranged turn-down with jasmine tea, and a private view of Beijing’s skyline.

Jess and Jay land in Beijing and are immediately swept up in the city’s chaotic beauty. They check into the Four Seasons Beijing after a dramatic taxi scramble, and the hotel staff deliver a genuinely emotional welcome: flowers, a handwritten note, and a room prepared with vegan dining options and thoughtful touches like a vase and a window view that steals the show. The couple’s room tour unfolds with giddy delight: a vast closet, plush slippers, a Nespresso setup, and an impossibly luxurious bathroom with a view. They repeatedly highlight the service quality—the head of food and beverage aware of dietary restrictions, the flower arrangements, the personalized photo message, and the “Love with a crown” note. The anniversary moment triggers tears of joy as they realize how special the hotel has made them feel. They reflect on comparing Four Seasons experiences across cities, noting Beijing’s stunning views and the hotel’s five-star service as exceptional, even when juxtaposed with the Grand Hyatt Shanghai. Afternoon tea on the 11th floor becomes another highlight, with vegan-friendly options and a glass of bubbly, followed by a playful teardown of how much they’ve eaten during the day. They discuss the value of staying at this level of luxury (approximately £175–£180 per person per night for two nights) and compare it to London’s Four Seasons Park Lane pricing, realizing the cost is justifiable given the experience. The episode closes with plans for tomorrow’s Great Wall hike, a tease of more adventures (including potential Universal Studios Beijing), and a promise to continue sharing their evolving journey. The couple’s humor (sock-drying on the hotel sink, the “Beijing, baby!” moment at the window) sits alongside heartfelt gratitude for a trip that feels like a once-in-a-lifetime celebration of love and discovery. Jess, Jay, and their audience are clearly just getting started on a six-part hotel-to-great-wall adventure. The day’s emotional crescendo, the flowers and note, and the breathtaking room view stand out as defining memories that set the tone for their Beijing exploration.
