We stayed at the New Century Hotel. It is up near the zoo, and was very nice. The hotel has 720 rooms.

Nikko New Century: LUXURIOUS Hotel with fab brekky BUFFET
Satisfaction:

one of Nikko Beijing's fabulous dining rooms
by AusPinay
As my trip was sponsored by the Chinese Embassy in cooperation with the Chinese media organizations in Manila, Philippines, I and my colleagues of journalists and photojournalists were billeted in the luxurious Hotel Nikko Beijing. It was magical as it was my first stay at a five star hotel!
We stayed there for five glorious nights and every minute there was most wonderful!
I must remind you I was there a decade ago but it is the food that could possibly be worth checking out again! Especially the enormous breakfast buffet of western and Chinese menus, I looked forward to each breakfast every day of my stay there!
Fantastic breakfast buffet, picture perfect foyer, good service (no tipping needed as compared to the American way of essential tipping!)
Theme: Hotel
Comparison: more expensive than average
Directions: near many embassies, and high tech end of Beijing district
This hotel was very nice, even though the area around the hotel has an industrial feel. Not many places to walk to in the evening, unless you wanted to walk across the 8 lane road and visit a Carre Foure store.
If you want to swimming in the pool, bring a swimming cap or pay 15 US Dollars to buy one.
