This hotel is close – but not too close – to the core of the city. In bustling Beijing being in the center of the action can be a real blessing. Recently renovated, the 120 moderately priced rooms strike a balance between Western and Chinese styles, as does the general look of the hotel. Of the two different room types, the more expensive rooms are for businesspeople and boast some very handy facilities. All the rooms are done up with wooden floors that lend them a warm and earthy feel. Some of the hotel’s other prominent features are free fruit and daily newspapers and wheelchair access for disabled travelers.
