"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."

"The wow factor at the Grand Hyatt Beijing... comes via its huge glass facade and even more extraordinary Olympic-size swimming pool." Full review
Insight Guides
"One of Beijing’s top hotels, a favourite of businessmen and short-term tourists, that includes top-notch restaurants, excellent service, and houses a museum of ancient Chinese bronzes."
Lonely Planet
"Stylish creation lording it over Wángfǔjǐng’s Oriental Plaza, but loses marks for extortionate wi-fi charges."
Travel + Leisure
"Super-solicitous service; excellent in-house dining and entertainment; and the most outrageously over-the-top indoor “urban resort” in the city." Full review
Condé Nast Traveler
"Part of Oriental Plaza, the country’s largest commercial complex, this curved glass tower is "one of the places to be in Beijing"." Full review
DK Eyewitness
