The breakfast spread is excellent, but avoid the in-house restaurants for lunch and dinner -- both serve disappointing, lackluster fare.
Rough Guide "Newly refitted, luxurious and upscale, near the shopping district of Wangfujing, with an impressive gym and pool."
Condé Nast Traveler "Set in the heart of Beijing’s shopping district, the three-year-old hotel is convenient to trips to the Forbidden City and art galleries." Full review
DK Eyewitness "This large, modern hotel with a rooftop pool is popular with both business and leisure travelers, who are attracted by its excellent executive services and location."

The 14 connecting rooms should be requested two weeks in advance, however, to guarantee availability.

Fodor's "The hotel opened in 2008 for the Olympics, and by now the rooms are showing the odd sign of wear and tear, but it's still a great option, especially for first-timers to the city." Full review
