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."
Jetsetter "A chic hotel combining Zen sensibilities with contemporary stylings – includes your choice of day tour." Full review

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
