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
