This is a fantastic, brand new hotel in Beijing. The Wanda building complex itself is rather non-descript from the outside, blending in with the other large grey building's in classic Russian-communist styled Beijing. The lobby is very stylishly decorated with ultra-high ceilings, and the hotel staff were courteous if not perhaps a little inexperienced. The rooms themselves were very spacious and modern, with free wifi, cable TV for the bath tub, as well as a plasma screen for the bedroom. The shower area was nice with an extra large shower head, with motorised window furnishings separating the bathroom from the main room, as well as the windows. Very comfortable and luxurious experience all up. Highly recommended.

This hotel is pure luxury in an otherwise dull and grey city. The hotel has everything, several restaurants (chinese, french, casual, night club/bar), gym, swimmingpool, beauty salon and more. The hotel is brand new, and it really shows. It looks like a palace, and I've stayed in several hotels worldwide (also in other places in Asia, so Asian hospitality is familiar to me), and used to work in a five stars hotel a few years back.

Oh yeah, did I mention that the rooms are huge! They had very friendly staff who were always very eager to help. They really proved themselves when I left my brand new, top of the line, Nokia mobile phone in the hotel room as I left for Shanghai. They sent it with DHL to Shanghai and I got it the following day! This is why I don't mind paying extra, a hotel that lives up to their service promises. I write this review even with the risk of them becoming more popular as I might not get a room next time, but they deserve it. Definitely a world class hotel with beautiful rooms and service, with eye even on the slightest detail! You would be out of your mind not to stay there.

This hotel has just opened and even though there were some obvious signs of trouble typical in a brand new hotel, (a few leaks here and there) overall, the hotel is amazing. The decor is very well thought out, a kind of 'chinois' feel, i think they have done well to blend the French Sofitel flavour with Chinese. The staff are attentive and compared to other hotels, the level of English is good (which helps). I recommend staying on the club floor which comes with 24 hour butler service. The restaurant buffet is better for breakfast than the Club Lounge, for more variety and choice. I will definately be back.
