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."

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

Concierge "The 68 cozy rooms are traditionally furnished, with red-tasseled lamps and dark wood furniture, but they don't feel like museum galleries."
Insight Guides "This delightful courtyard hotel occupies a former Qing-dynasty residence."
Travel + Leisure "Multiple buildings surround a quadrangle in this courtyard-style Dongcheng neighborhood hotel, which is down an ancient alley, or hutong." Full review
Rough Guide "Converted from a Qing dynasty mansion, this hotel, though it’s aimed at tour groups, has a little more charisma than most such places."

Avoid the expensive breakfast.
DK Eyewitness "A more comfy, lived-in atmosphere, although unfortunately over-zealous modernisation has stripped the hotel of some of its charm."
Gayot "For a taste of imperial living during the Qing dynasty, this hotel offers authentic decor and a traditional quadrangle courtyard setting."
Time Out "Originally built in the Qing Dynasty for General Zeng Ge Ling Qin, his pad now attracts tourists who want to stay somewhere with character." Full review
Lonely Planet "Rooms may be a bit cramped at this hútòng hotel, a courtyard house built by a Mongolian general during the Qing-dynasty era, but the location and setting are big plus points."
Fodor's "This is a classic old-Beijing experience, turned over to tourism, with no attempts at modern updates or fancy design, but, rather, just a good choice for cheap, traditional living." Full review
