Join the locals refueling over lamb hot pot at Ding Ding Xiang, a bustling restaurant in the designer shopping complex next to the Ritz.
Rough Guide "Compact five-star hotel in the slick but rather anonymous, high-end Guomao – it’s handy for the subway (Guomao stop) and expensive shops."
Condé Nast Traveler "Past the beveled-glass doors of this 2007 property in China Central Place, the city's business hub, and next to the Shin Kong Place shopping center, interiors have an English country manor flair." Full review
Star Service "The 17-story hotel, with its modest stone facade, manages to feel both cozy and opulent, starting from the low-ceilinged, chandelier-hung lobby. The reception staff is friendly and fluent in English." Full review
Gayot "Guests who demand top-tier accommodations will be satisfied at this Ritz-Carlton, featuring 305 guest rooms that include 38 suites and 61 Club Level rooms."
Forbes Travel Guide 4 Stars

Rough Guide "This three-story hostel is in a good area, though right on a noisy main road. Rooms are spartan but clean, and the whole place looks a bit institutional."

Lonely Planet "A no-frills hostel with nifty, capsule-style singles and spacious twins and doubles. The subway is very close, and it's a short stroll to the area's lively hutong alleyways." Full review
