Expert reviews:

Fodor's

"It remains in a fabulous location for sightseeing (a few blocks from the East Gate of the Forbidden City), the service is good, and the price is right." Full review

Travel + Leisure

"When lit up at night, it resembles a giant lantern, one of the traditional Chinese elements that are strongly represented in the design of this 89-room hotel." Full review

Rough Guide

"A swish boutique hotel ten minutes’ walk from the Forbidden City, with clean lines, glass walls and a bamboo theme giving it a distinctive, modish look."

DK Eyewitness

"A stone's throw away from the Forbidden City and Tian'an Men Square, Hotel Kapok's grid-like exterior is eye-catching, as is the bamboo-filled reception area."

Star Service

"Located in the center of historical Beijing, this hot design hotel is part of a regional chain of hotels blending boutique style with Chinese hospitality." Full review

Time Out

"One of Beijing’s small but burgeoning band of boutique hotels, the Kapok appeared in 2006 and was nicknamed ‘the Blur’ even before it opened, thanks to its ‘glowing’ grid-like exterior." Full review

Lonely Planet

"Offering midrange cool for designer types, trendy Kapok is hidden behind a tough-to-keep-clean, all-glass-grill frontage and comes with modern rooms."
