This hotel is located on North Fourth Ring Road in Chaoyang District, close to the Bird's Nest and Water Cube. It's a 10-minute walk to Olympic Park, and right next to the Xinchenli shopping mall, offering plenty of dining options.
It's a very established five-star hotel, opened in 2003. While some of the restaurant facilities are showing their age, the lobby is still very grand. It used to be an IHG hotel but is now a state-owned property. On my first stay, I was upgraded to a suite of almost 30 square meters, with decent views. Although there's a bathtub, the shower stall is particularly small. You can see the Bird's Nest in the distance. The hotel boasts conference rooms and an executive lounge. On the ground floor, there's a gym, swimming pool, buffet restaurant, and a sports-viewing restaurant, along with other commercial amenities like an ATM and an antique shop. I noticed quite a few foreign guests staying here.
The service was excellent. The staff were all very polite, and check-in and check-out procedures were very convenient. You can also store luggage at the concierge.
The overall breakfast quality was quite good. In addition to a rich variety of Chinese and Western pastries, there were also Beijing-style pastries, specialty snacks like Jianbing Guozi (fried pancake fruit), Hulatang (spicy soup), and Doufunao (tofu pudding), plus live cooking stations for noodles. The Hulatang, fruits, drinks, and nuts were all of good quality, exceeding expectations. However, adding an extra breakfast costs 150, which seems a bit steep.
Prices range from approximately 700 to 1000+ RMB. Overall, the transportation is convenient, and the hardware facilities, environment, and service are generally good. It was a pleasant stay.
