How much to tip a hotel concierge in China (2026 Guide)

Concierge tipping is rare in mainland China even at luxury hotels — the role is built into the property's service standard. A ¥50–100 thank-you in a small envelope at checkout is appropriate if the concierge has gone meaningfully out of their way (e.g. securing a same-day reservation at a hard-booked restaurant or arranging a private museum visit). At domestic hotels, there is typically no dedicated concierge in the Western sense.

Tipping upfront when requesting help — this can read as a bribe and may make the concierge uncomfortable. Tip after the service is rendered.
