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."
Forbes Travel Guide 4 Stars
"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 "The Grand Hyatt is unrivaled for location." Full review
Concierge "With a prime central location adjacent to Wangfujing shopping street, this vast hotel has been popular with business and leisure travelers since it opened in 2001."
Fodor's "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 "In the glimmering Oriental Plaza complex that dominates the central shopping district, no other hotel in Beijing is better located, and few are as well equipped."
Star Service "Within easy walking distance of Tiananmen Square and the Forbidden City, this 18-story glass tower offers top-notch amenities and a prime location." Full review
Forbes Travel Guide 4 Stars
"A gleaming glass tower on busy Chang An Avenue, Grand Hyatt Beijing is a large hotel that delivers crisp, contemporary rooms with comfortable, duvet-topped beds and flat-screen TVs." Full review
