The best hotel we enjoyed during our month long journey through China. I give it the best rating primarily due to the comfortable beds; as most beds in China have such "Firm" mattresses that it feels like you are sleeping on concrete.....

Our room was very spacious with a comfortable king size bed plus a sitting area with a couch, chair & table + a desk. The bathroom was filled with all the amenities we could wish for and new toothbrushes where supplied each day. All was kept spotlessly clean. We actually got a non-smoking room a huge bonus in China.

There was the usual fridge, safe, writing paper, postcard etc.
We did not check out either the pool or the weight room.

However the cafe was great.
Breakfast that came with the room was a large buffet with both hot and cold offerings. There was everything on the buffet you could possibly want along with a chef standing by to cook your eggs for you to your specifications.
Two evenings we enjoyed a wonderful American Dinner of steak in the restaurant. I wanted to share the meal with my Dad as neither of us wanted a full dinner. When we explained this to the waitress it was not a problem and the kitchen actually split the meal and it arrived on 2 plates beautifully presented.
The non-smoking area was approximtely half the size of hte restaurant. It was a real bonus after being in Asia for a month to actually be able to enjoy a meal without having a smoker light up at the table next to ours.

The staff at the front desk were very accomodating about exchanging money.

There was a Starbucks next door and a neighbourhood shop just around the corner to buy inexpensive pop and junk food at.

About a 3 block walk brought you to a shopping area and there were lots of restaurants close to the hotel.

The only glitch as a very slow check in and I had to argue to get the room which we had reserved and paid for. They wanted to give me a room with 2 single beds instead of a superior room with a king size bed. However this is not so unusual when one checks in late at night....

I would definitely recommend this hotel as a good place to stay for anyone heading to Beijing.

Stayed in the Park Plaza in March for 4 nights, we had booked the hotel as part of a tour of Beijing booked through Dragonair. The hotel was lovely and very convenient for the Forbidden City and Wangfujing for great shopping and places to eat at night. The staff in the hotel were great, particularly the bell hops and door men who were always eager to speak to you in English and were always on hand to help in any way. Breakfast was included in our booking, and was a varied buffet. We also had drinks in the hotel at night, and the prices for cocktails were very reasonable. Don't miss the night market which is just a few minutes away, where you can buy scorpions, snakes, flies, and centipedes, all on a stick! If you are going to the Great Wall I thoroughly recommend that you go to the Mutianyu part of the wall, the day we were there were only about another 20 tourists, so it was great to get walking along without any overcrowding. We had one day off from our tour, and I decided I would like to go to the zoo, the door man advised us to get a taxi(which were very cheap) but I was determined to try public transport, big mistake! We then joined about 3 million people trying to get on the subway; we nearly gave up, but eventually squeezed on, not for the faint hearted. If you're an animal lover or like animals at all, avoid the zoo at all costs. The animals seem to be very badly looked after, we didn't see a keeper while we were there, and a lot of people were throwing things at the animals. All in all I thoroughly enjoyed Beijing, the sights; the people and the food were all fantastic!!!!!

This is a very nice and cozy hotel located in the center of beijing but in the inner street of a commercial complex, which makes it very quiet... Its a relatively new hotel, very clean and modern, the decoration is very simple so its almost relaxing, the staff is very friendly, specially the concierges who are very helpful with directions and helping you out with your plans...

The breakfast buffet is very good and even the dinner buffet is worth it if you are too tired to go out.... the hotel and meals are not expensive at all

Tip: Always have a card with the hotel directions in chinese so the taxi drivers know how to get there.. they are puzzled when they see the address since its a very small street but they often call either the hotel or someone to explain it to them.... Hand them the address once you are in the cab because if you show it to them before getting in and they dont know how to get there they may refuse to take you (happened to me a couple of times)

We stayed at this hotel from the 25th to the 30th of May. I cannot say enough good things about this hotel, particularly about the Concierge Department. Their command of the english language was fabulous, they were extremely helpful and could not do enough for us, assisting us with booking our train tickets to Xian, booking day trips to the Great Wall as well as a fabulous Hutong Tour. They also took care of our luggage when we went to Xian. We received a lovely welcome back on our return from Xian. The reception counter, although were helpful, were not able to assist us quite as efficiently due to their lack of command of the English language. The hotel was set back off the street and was therefore very quiet, it is the sister hotel of the Regent Hotel which was right next door. The Starbucks across from the hotel was well utilized as was the ATM machine in the same building. The rooms were great, beds were comfortable and a good size and the bathroom was great. We were very sad to leave this great hotel. I can see why it is rated number two on trip advisor. We would definitely stay here again.
