Frommer's "This new five-star hotel sits just east of Beijing's CBD... and comes with impressive service and a distinctly old-world, European feel." Full review
Concierge "Personalized classical luxury is suffused throughout this 17-floor hotel."
Fodor's "On Jianguo Lu, where couture practically spills out onto the street, this Ritz-Carlton feels rather at home surrounded by branches of Chanel, Ferragamo et al." Full review
Travel + Leisure "The madness of Beijing is tamed by the serene Old-World comfort of this 17-story hotel in China Central Place, a coveted shopping and residential development east of the city's business district." Full review

Join the locals refueling over lamb hot pot at Ding Ding Xiang, a bustling restaurant in the designer shopping complex next to the Ritz.
Rough Guide "Compact five-star hotel in the slick but rather anonymous, high-end Guomao – it’s handy for the subway (Guomao stop) and expensive shops."
Condé Nast Traveler "Past the beveled-glass doors of this 2007 property in China Central Place, the city's business hub, and next to the Shin Kong Place shopping center, interiors have an English country manor flair." Full review
Star Service "The 17-story hotel, with its modest stone facade, manages to feel both cozy and opulent, starting from the low-ceilinged, chandelier-hung lobby. The reception staff is friendly and fluent in English." Full review
Gayot "Guests who demand top-tier accommodations will be satisfied at this Ritz-Carlton, featuring 305 guest rooms that include 38 suites and 61 Club Level rooms."
Forbes Travel Guide 4 Stars
"Unlike the other, more modern Ritz-Carlton in Beijing, this Ritz in the Chaoyang district represents the Old World charm that's often associated with the luxury hotel brand." 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
