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

Frommer's "This new hotel is an excellent addition to the city center: It's right beside the shopping paradise of Wangfujing... and within walking distance of the Forbidden City and Tian'an Men Square." Full review

The breakfast spread is excellent, but avoid the in-house restaurants for lunch and dinner -- both serve disappointing, lackluster fare.
Rough Guide "Newly refitted, luxurious and upscale, near the shopping district of Wangfujing, with an impressive gym and pool."
Condé Nast Traveler "Set in the heart of Beijing’s shopping district, the three-year-old hotel is convenient to trips to the Forbidden City and art galleries." Full review
DK Eyewitness "This large, modern hotel with a rooftop pool is popular with both business and leisure travelers, who are attracted by its excellent executive services and location."
Star Service "In the heart of the city's most popular shopping area, this hotel wins with modern confines and friendly service that caters to a solid dose of Americans attracted to its name." Full review

The 14 connecting rooms should be requested two weeks in advance, however, to guarantee availability.
Time Out "This sleek Hilton is tucked onto a side street near shopping street Wangfujing. The rooms feature modern design, with flat-screen TVs, iPod docking stations, and rain showers." Full review
Fodor's "The hotel opened in 2008 for the Olympics, and by now the rooms are showing the odd sign of wear and tear, but it's still a great option, especially for first-timers to the city." Full review
Lonely Planet Top Choice
"Modern, classy and very centrally located, this branch of the Hilton is one of Běijīng’s best five-star offerings." Full review
