    Well, unbeknownst to me when I booked our stay at the Park Plaza Hotel during the Olympics that it was one of the “official” hotels for the IOC. This basically meant that on the slight downside we had to go through security checks every time we entered. But on the upside, everyone there had an interesting story to tell. For instance, our hotel was the living quarters for the Olympic Arbitration Board which was comprised of 12 lawyers from around the world who were on 24 hour duty to pass judgment on any controversies which may arise. Luckily, it was a fairly uneventful Olympics; therefore, these fine gentlemen and families had plenty of time to enjoy the sights and sounds of Beijing and also could attend any Olympic event they chose. There was also George Raveling (former basketball coach of USC and all around great guy), Gold Medal track man, Carl Lewis, and, oh yes, the Argentinean Football (Soccer) team, plus many, many more members of the worldwide Olympic Community.
    The hotel itself, which backs up to its sister hotel, The Regent, is an understated and extremely pleasant hotel. No large flashy lobby or pool, but everything else that affords a wonderful stay. It’s tucked away between buildings and down a side street, thus leaving taxi drivers sometimes perplexed. However, the location worked out perfectly. Besides The Regent, it’s across the street from the new Legendale Hotel, and just a couple of blocks from the Peninsula, the Novotel and several smaller Chinese hotels. Also, if you walk across the street you’re at a subway station for Line 5; and then, if you walk down three street lights (about 5 minutes) you’re right in the middle of the Warfuling shopping area, including the night snack stands, if you’re up for Scorpions, Snakes or Worms, not to mention the unmentionable parts of several beasts.
    The rooms are decent sizes and have electrical plugs for practically every format, so there isn’t really a need for an adaptor. The internet was free, the safe was new and working, there were plenty of English speaking television programs, and during the Olympics they had a special box that televised every event that was going on live. So by our staying at this hotel, we were able to see much more of the Olympics than being at home, even if we didn’t have tickets to the events. I didn’t see anything they hadn’t tried to give the guests everything they desire for convenience and comfort…which brings me to the bed – we had wonderful night’s sleep. We had no needs that weren’t fulfilled. Everything was there - ironing board, umbrella, plenty of drawer space, free bottled water, and all the other usual toiletries. Buffet breakfasts were fabulous – good, strong coffee, and plenty of variety and detail to accommodate all cultures. Breakfast ends at 10:00, so don’t sleep late, you’ll miss something special.
    Bottomline, I’d stay at this hotel again in a heartbeat. And to think I lucked out with my pick, since I decided to go to the Olympics the day after it started and didn’t have time for much research. Someone was looking out for me.

    Located centrally in the Wangfujing area, this hotel is close to everywhere you want to get to downtown.
    The subway station is right out the door for those areas that are not downtown, or you can arrange to hire a driver at the front desk for daytrips.

    Service was great!
    Rooms were cleaned twice daily.
    Front desk was very helpful regarding local information, and everyone there spoke English, even if just a little.

    Breakfast buffet was delicious, a mix of Chinese and western.

    Clientelle was mostly a mix of Chinese travelling in-country and Europeans from various countries.

    Rooms start at about 700 yuan/night (depending on room and occupancy), and go up from there.

    This is a newer hotel, and has already won service awards, as well as best new hotel in 2006.

    There are lounges on both the ground and uppermost floors, with an exercize room on the second floor. Three restaurants. But no pool, which was a disappointment...

    This does not compare to the luxurious Raffles Beijing which I have stayed at, but it's a really nice hotel that is clean, safe, nice and 'happy' and overall 4/5 rating. The rooms are quite nice and not that small. The lighting is bright, washrooms are clean and room overall is very comfortable after a day out sightseeing and shopping.

    I would not hesitate to recommend this hotel to anyone going to Beijing.

    Raffles is my first choice, but this is a close 2nd for now =)

    If you do stay at the Park Plaza, by all means sign up for the breakfast for a few bucks more. It is WELL worth it. We got up daily and headed for the breakfast buffet that served as both our breakfast and lunch. The assortment of foods there was awesome and so yummy - from your local north american fair, fresh fruits, french pastries, eggs cooked to your liking, fresh juices, dim sum, chinese dishes (even custom made noodle soups) and congee. Well worth it.

    Also, if you sign up for the package, you can get coffee/tea 7 * 24 in the upstairs 'lounge'/meeting room area. Happy hour (with munchies) is also included in some packages. One nice thing about this was the free use of internet in the rooms and also internet access upstairs in the 'lounge' with a well-stocked printer for your use to print out those last minute shopping lists - lol.

    The staff there are really helpful and friendly.

    The only drawback with this hotel is that most cabbies do not know where it is as it is quite new and 'hidden'. If you ever get into a cab and the cabbie does not 'appear' to know, just tell them it is 'behind the Rejent Hotel' Or mention the 'JIN BAO' office tower. If they drop you off at either places, the hotel is within a stone's throw and a few paces to the entrance.

    Also, if you arrange tours from the hotel, you may be able to 'negotiate' a better price. Give it a try. Also, make sure to tip the busboy, concierage, doorman etc, well after your stay as these poor guys don't make that much for standing out in the freezing cold - haha.

    I have stayed at the Novotel Peace and they stuck us in a annex, not the tower as promised. I will never stay there again. The room at the Peace was small and the hallways smelled of the cleaning solution they used. Beware of hotels with fancy foyers.

    We stayed in this wonderful hotel for 8 nights and loved it. Cost was approx $70 USD per night. The location is excellent in the historic district in the city center. The staff was friendly, the service excellent and the accomodations very beautiful. The hotel is only 2 years old. The breakfast buffet was very reasonable @ 50 RMB or $6 USD per person per day and had an incredible assortment of food and new items (both western and chinese) every day. The concierge staff was most helpful and though language was difficult everywhere, they made everything really easy. I would just tell them where I wanted to go and they would arrange it for me. When I went to the Great Wall, they arranged for a taxi to pick me and my two teenagers up at the hotel, drive us to the Wall, wait 2 hours while we climbed it, stop and wait while we visited the Ming Tombs on the way back at the hotel. Cost was 700 RMB or $94 USD for all three of us for the taxi services. Unbelievable! Great hotel....close to the Forbidden City, Ti'aneman Square, Silk Market and shopping district.

    The hotel also had a spa. 1 hour reflexology massage was $300 RMB or approx $42 USD...that was a treat. Starbucks right next door.
