Frommer's "China World remains a landmark in Beijing, with a gorgeous lobby decorated with crystal chandeliers and Chinese artwork and an extensive shopping mall on the basement level." Full review
Jetsetter "Stepping into the marbled foyer, it's easy to see why Beijing's Shangri-La's China World Hotel is the top choice for visiting heads of state. Here classic Eastern style meets world-class..." Full review
Travel + Leisure "Inspired by China’s imperial palaces (lacquered red pillars; gold bamboo panels; crystal chandeliers), with escalator access to one of the city’s most upscale shopping malls." Full review
Star Service "This property is similar in quality to other central business hotels, but offers a regional touch that no other property in town can match." Full review
Fodor's "The service is slick, the restaurants are very good... during conferences and exhibitions, business travelers pack its modern, well-appointed rooms." 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
