This hotel has a personality split. From outside and inside it looks elegant, indeed opulent. I had a spacious suite very well appointed with good amenities (tea, fridge, a lot of electrical outlets with US plugs). However, at night when wind picked up the whole outside wall started to make very loud creaking, rattling noise as if it was about... More

We stayed in this hotel in mid October 2012 (6 nights, Business Suite, breakfast not included, Wi-Fi/Internet not included). Our check-in was quick and the reception staff were friendly and efficient. When we came to our room we found out that the room air-conditioning system was not functioning (according to the staff, this was a known issue and the air... More

2 adults and three kids shared a two room suite for two nights which is not easy to find. This hotel is not far from the Olympic village and very easy to drive to the great wall. But it is really dated five star hotel but the price is still five star price in the terms of dinning, spa, and... More

I was there for 5 nights at the end of july and beginning of august 2011. It was my first visit to China and to this huge city. The name of the hotels incited me to dream about this. Well I m not a celebrity and I can understand celebrities probably don't stay there when they visit China. However this,... More

Stayed for 6 nights in August. The lobby was pretty impressive but unfortunately the room I stayed in needs renovation. The location is near the Olympic Village and not near the centre of Beijing. Traffic in Beijing was absolutely terrible and I wouldn't recommend if your activities are not around that area. The room was adequated and dated with stains... More

Stayed here for a medical conference, and found it a good choice. Attractive lobby, quiet, and helpful staff who understand at least some English. The rooms were well furnished with many amenities and the buffet breakfast was excellent. The hotel could use some updating, which is in progress but unlike other reviewers I didn't find the renovations to be noisy... More

My father and I stayed here for six nights while attending a world medical conference. The room was clean and the bed not as hard as I thought it would be. The amenies provided were great and the staff tried hard to meet your needs. Free Wi-Fi in the lobby and second floor if you can get someone from the... More

I stayed here in April 2012 for business. This hotel was recommended by the people I was doing business with since it is near their office. There are pluses and minuses to this hotel. Pluses: It is conveniently located near the Olympic stadium, and there are bus stations and subway stations within a 15 minute walk from the hotel. There... More

I stayed here for 6 nights in March 2012. The decor was old and the bed and pillows a bit hard but the room was medium-sized and clean. I thought the Internet charges in the business centre were a bit expensive (60 RMB per hour). The hotel is walking distance (c. 20 min) to both the International Convention Centre and... More
