Stayed here for 3 nights with Viking River Cruises. Best hotel of the tour! The Monday night seafood buffet redefined all concepts of buffet! (Don't know cost as it was paid for by tour). Breakfast was great...don't miss the homemade yoghurt. This hotel is getting 4 "stars" on this site, but the St. Regis in Shanghai is getting 5...this hotel was MUCH better! Was told this was the 2nd best hotel in Beijing. Can't imagine much better.

I absolutely loved this hotel. Stayed here for a week on business recently and found this to be an excellent business hotel. The gym is one of the finest I've ever encountered in a hotel, the rooms are well-equipped and nicely designed. I loved the soft modern bed after a rock slab in Hong Kong.

The staff are all incredibly nice, though not always helpful. The concierge couldn't recommend a tailor outside the ultra-expensive mall nest door, for example. I never knew that I needed someone to push the "up" button on the elevator, but it was nice to always have a warm greeting.

The cafe restaurant has a grand breakfast buffet, but it's very pricey at about $40. I'd stay here again in a heartbeat.

The hotel is nice and comfortable, but is quite over priced for what it is as there are other choices nearby. We ate at the hotel's Italian restaurant. The menu looked attractive. But the taste was not what it claimed for. The wine selection was impressive. It seemed there were more locals trying to impress other locals here. The evening dinner buffet was quite nice with great selections, but choice than the wester restaurant. It's location is convenient. If you have meetings after meetings within a day, it's a nice and easy place for people to come to meet you here so you don't have to fight the Beijing traffic.

This hotel is definitely luxurious but it‘s to be expected for the steep prices. Great beds, soft sheets, towel placed on the floor by your bed with soft slippers. Huge bathroom has both a deep tub and powerful shower. The rooms are quiet and the street noise can’t be heard. Helpful tip: If you order a wake up call, they will deliver coffee or tea to your door along with the call.

The work out area is big and looks well equipped. The pool is a lap pool; not suitable for children. But it’s a great pool for adult swimming. There are segregated hot (and cold) tubs in the changing rooms.

The breakfast is varied with just about every kind of food imaginable. We had access to the Horizon lounge, with breakfast. Like previous posts, there were not enough tables for breakfast or for evening cocktails. The breakfast selection in the lounge is much more limited than in the main breakfast area. The evening refreshments food was fresh and inviting.

The security in the hotel was tight, since the Olympic Committee was having meetings in the hotel at the time.

Can recommend this hotel but not for travelers on a strict budget.
