Frommer's "If you're looking for a slice of old-world charm, look no further than Raffles Beijing." Full review
Concierge "Closer to Tiananmen Square and the Forbidden City than any of the city's other top-end hotels, the Raffles occupies a Beaux Arts–style building with a long history."
Jetsetter "Built by an enterprising Frenchman in 1900, the hotel's sweeping staircases, arched lobby staircases and 1920s dance hall... were skillfully rejuvenated when Raffles took over."
Lonely Planet "Sandwiched between two drab edifices... the seven-storey Raffles oozes cachet and grandeur." Full review
Travel + Leisure "Over-the-top opulence reigns at this vaunted, century-old hotel—which is, appropriately, closer than any other to Beijing’s singularly grand Forbidden City." Full review
Condé Nast Traveler "Located by the Wangfujing shopping district, just steps from Tiananmen Square, the Beaux Arts landmark is "a true oasis, with the best location in Beijing"." Full review
DK Eyewitness "Sections of the Beijing Hotel have been revamped and re-staffed by the Singapore Raffles group to produce one of Beijing's best addresses."

"Rooms are swathed in romantic chintzes, oriental rugs and French furnishings but include contemporary touches like flat-screen TVs and DVD players on request."
Time Out "Personality Suites named after the hotel’s most famous patrons... are packed with wonderful examples of attention to detail, while the ballroom and Writers Bar both hark back to the hotel’s heyday." Full review

Frommer's "Said to be the former residence of the infamous Qing dynasty eunuch, Li Lianying, Bamboo Garden was the first major courtyard-style hotel in Beijing and is among the most beautiful." Full review
Insight Guides "Simple, clean rooms open onto a classical Chinese garden, with a great location close to the Drum Tower. What it lacks in facilities is more than made up for in atmosphere."
Lonely Planet "The intimate, leafy courtyard at Bamboo Garden is appealing, even if the rooms, as in many of Běijīng’s courtyard hotels, can’t quite match the elegant, hushed atmosphere." Full review
Travel + Leisure "The charming hotel is located in a small hutong near the Jiugulou subway stop." Full review
Rough Guide "This hotel was converted from the residence of a Qing official and today the courtyards and bamboo-filled gardens are by far its best features."
Time Out "Eunuchs may have had to go through some occupational discomfort, but there were compensations: they got to live in beautiful courtyards like this one." Full review
National Geographic "Charming and affordable choice within walking distance of the lakes region and Drum and Bell Towers." Full review
