    Here's a hotel located inside an upscale shopping mall that is also right by Beijing's main train station. It's convenient for transportation by subway as well. The rooms are comfortable and clean. The breakfast buffet is very good. (Grab a handful of those imported Austrian jams for your train ride!) I had a friend in Beijing drop off a package at the hotel and the front desk did not notify me. It was not until my friend called late at night that I learned the package was still downstairs and so I criticized the hotel staff for not even leaving a note that a package for me had arrived. The public telephone in the hotel lobby has a small round speaker on the ceiling directly above it which blares loud "lobby music" over your attempts at telecommunication. I informed the management that this speaker should be removed or disconnected. Despite those two complaints, I have no problem recommending this hotel to tourists seeking a centrally located base from which to explore Beijing.

    The hotel has a tennis court that appears to be in good condition. The hotel's bakery has a "buy one, get one free" discount in the late afternoon. There is a "Mondo Gelato" shop located on the second floor of Henderson Center shopping mall and another larger branch is located by the Starbucks across the street. (You must have mango sorbetto as a last taste of civilization before taking the train into the countryside.) Also across the street in the basement is a "Park N' Shop" Hong Kong style supermarket. HSBC bank account holders will be pleased to know that one of Beijing's two HSBC ATM's is just a short walk away at Jianguomen outside the COFCO Center. (The other HSBC ATM is at Wangfujing's Oriental Plaza.)

    PARAGON HOTEL**** (BaoChen FanDian) It is one of the newest hotels in Beijing (it was completed in 1998). Built by Americans it is a hotel offering very high-level services and great comfort. This is where I always stay when I'm in Beijing.

    Just beside the hotel is the Henderson Centre. This is a quite elegant shopping centre with an American-style entertainment area. On the lowest floor is the Henderson Supermarket where you can get a very wide range of products, including many Western imports. The Henderson Centre also has a huge tower that can be recognised very easily so if you go for a walk and somehow get lost in the chaotic traffic and the busy streets you can easily find your way back to the hotel by spotting the Henderson Tower.

  • The location is perfect. You don’t need to leave your hotel to get to the tube station; you just go through the shopping centre next door... really handy when it is raining. The subway and the train station are just in front of the hotel (but you cannot hear a thing). The nearest stop is Beijing Zhan. There are plenty of little restaurants around, so even in the middle of the night there is always something to eat. The hotel in itself is very clean, staff are helpful and their English is good enough (a million times better than my Chinese). When I arrived they wanted to give me a room on level 5, but I have learned on www.tripadvisor.com that level 5 is quite noisy because there is a restaurant... so I have asked to be moved to another floor (before they gave me the key) and they have upgraded me to level 8. The room was great! It was big, very clean, not smelly at all, tastefully decorated, the bed was comfortable. The bathroom was big enough and really nice. There is a safe, an ironing board, an alarm clock, a pair of bathrobes, sleepers, a big plasma TV on the wall, an armchair with footrest. What else, you cannot hear your neighbors at all, and the aircon is not noisy. I would definitely recommend this hotel to all kind of travelers!

  • Highly recommended. Located in the same complex as Henderson Shopping Mall. The room is nice and clean although not that spacious Mine is on 9th floor. Not noisy eventhough opposite Beijing Railway Station Shower room is separated by a glass wall so if you want your partner to see you shower, just open the blinds :) Broadband access in room, network cable provided in the drawer. Near to some tourist attractions. 5 to 10mins walk to Wangfujin and Tianamen Square. 2mins walk to Ancient Observatory. If you are not into walking, then use the subway. very convenience as you can access to Beijing Railway Subway station from Henderson Shopping Mall. Buffet Breakfast. If you are staying more than a day, not recommended to opt for the room with breakfast. The breakfast is ok, just that they did not change the menu. Immagine, having same type of breakfast for 5 days.
