Frommer's Review

China World is the city's top business hotel. It has an enviable location in the heart of the Central Business District. The attached China World shopping mall is one of the best in town, with luxury boutiques, a well-stocked supermarket, and an ice rink. Standard rooms are spacious with marble bathrooms and separate shower units. Closets have fantastic shelving units for those who prefer to get things out of the suitcase. Get a corner room if you can -- they're the same price, but bigger. For a real bargain, book yourself into a premier room -- it's the same size as an executive suite, but minus a dividing wall between the sitting area and bedroom. For wine lovers, in-house restaurant Aria was recently tapped by the Wine Spectator for having one of the best wine lists in the world. The menu has about 450 bottles and sommeliers are on hand to help out with choices.

Amenities: 4 restaurants plus several more in attached mall; indoor pool (25m/82 ft.); golf simulator; 3 indoor tennis courts; full-service health club; separate spa with aromatherapy; concierge; business center; shopping complex; salon; 24-hr. room service; same-day dry-cleaning/laundry service; executive-level rooms; nonsmoking rooms; currency exchange; Wi-Fi in executive rooms

About Our System

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.

Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.

The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
