Frommer's Review
This four-star property, opened in 1982, was the first joint-venture hotel in Beijing. It's one of the few older hotels to have kept up standards with constant refurbishment and comprehensive staff training. The ground floor contains the best rooms, with French windows opening onto small patios alongside goldfish-stocked pools. Despite being on a bustling street, rooms are quiet. A popular meeting place for expats and business visitors, the large lobby offers afternoon tea, a string quartet every evening, and an orchestra during Sunday morning coffee. Justine's, Beijing's first serious French restaurant, now faces massive competition but is still worth a visit, particularly for the set-price Sunday lunch.
Facilities: 3 restaurants (Chinese, French, International); bar; indoor pool; fitness center; Jacuzzi; sauna; concierge; tour desk; business center; shopping arcade; salon; 24-hr. room service; same-day dry cleaning/laundry service; executive-level rooms; currency exchange
