Elegant hotel with high-level services, located in a strategic area for visiting many attractions in Beijing. Very large and clean rooms with every kind of comfort. Functional and elegant common areas. Professional and very helpful staff. Super breakfast.

I was a little apprehensive of this hotel as the review score wasn’t great and I think this was possible due to the previous incarnation of this hotel? Not sure. I also had some great stays in luxury hotels across China and this was the last one on our trip. I can safely say there was nothing to worry about. Firstly, and one of the main reasons I picked it is due to the great location. Right across the road from a metro station and a nice shopping area. And 10 mins walk to Wangfujing and plenty of malls, shops and restaurants. It’s very well connected. The room was nice, we booked a slightly higher grade room but to be honest I’m not sure what the difference was. It was on the top floor though. I saw different room designs in photos, one variant had a much more open plan style bathroom with a sink backing onto the bed area, the other which we were in was also open plan but sliding doors to close the bathroom area off. If you enjoy privacy contact the hotel first to check/ask. They didn’t reply to emails and I struggled on WeChat but they did reply promptly through Expedia who I booked with. The room itself was modern, storage was ok but not great, the size was fine. I did find the bed very hard and uncomfortable to the point it impacted my sleep. It is a ‘local’ brand and likely catered towards a firm mattress that Chinese people are used to, after a few nights I did ask if they had a mattress topper or something and my request was met with confusion. However, I got back from the day to find they had installed one and it was so much better! Breakfast was good, a nice selection and staff throughout were friendly. I used the gym once, it was pretty small but functional. No sauna or steam that I saw. Didn’t visit the swimming pool but it looked large from photos. Overall, definitely recommended, it was clean, modern and location was great.

I stayed here for three nights and I highly recommend this hotel. The room was very comfortable, beautifully designed, and very clean. The staff were very nice and helpful. The hotel is in a great location—walking distance to many shops and restaurants, and a short drive to major sites in Beijing like the Forbidden City. The hotel also has a very nice pool. Just be aware: you must wear a swim cap to use the pool. You can buy one there for a small fee or bring your own. Overall, this hotel offers very good value for the money.
