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

This relaxed restaurant takes French cuisine back to basics and adds a little fun — don’t miss the pastry library, where guests choose the finishing touches for their desserts, aided by a former sous chef to Pierre Hermé.
Lonely Planet "The Shangri-La’s air-freshened lobby and muted Chinese motifs may not match the majesty of its sibling China World Hotel, but the rates here are far lower." Full review
Travel + Leisure "24-story building on well-manicured grounds. The Chi spa offers treatments from Thailand, Tibet, and China." Full review
DK Eyewitness "Shangri-la's first property in Beijing, inconveniently but peacefully located in the western part of the city."
