Frommer's "One of the most well-regarded hotel chains in China." Full review
Fodor's "With its landscaped gardens, luxury mall and the addition of a more modern wing, the Shangri-La is a slice of charm for business travelers and those who don't mind being far from the city center." Full review
Jetsetter "While other top Beijing hotels have careened towards modernity, the Shangri-La has remained an unashamed traditionalist. Paying homage to China’s imperial past, the hotel, which sits amid..." 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."
Star Service "The use of art is excellent throughout, and adding to the elegance, floor-to-ceiling windows in the lobby lounge and adjoining cafe overlook the winsome Chinese water garden. " Full review
Time Out "The Shangri-La chain is a major player in Beijing, and this, their flagship hotel, has a great reputation among business travellers." Full review

Frommer's "The location of this popular sleeping ground for American tour groups is pretty well near perfect -- being so close to the Forbidden City, Tian'an Men Square, and the Wangfujing shopping area." Full review
Lonely Planet "Refitted and overhauled in 2005, the five-star Crowne Plaza enjoys an excellent central location on Wangfujing Dajie, but has little character or charm with odd-looking sculpture dotted around." Full review
Rough Guide "Well-established five-star chain hotel with arty pretensions (there’s an on-site gallery), and a handy location for the shops and sights (it’s near the Wangfujing subway stop)."
Star Service "Primarily meant for business travelers, its location in the financial and business area is a plus. Its low rates can attract groups and tours on weekends, but usually the atmosphere is calm." Full review
Time Out "Fans of this highly rated chain will not be disappointed by the Beijing edition which enjoys an enviable location, being situated at the north end of the capital’s busiest shopping street." Full review
Fodor's "The best thing about this mid-range choice is its central location on Wangfujing, Beijing's most famous shopping street." Full review
