Beijing Hotels: Seriously, None of Them Actually Impress.

[Maryann Daniel IV]

The Waldorf Astoria and The Peninsula are also quite good.

[Ms. Wanda Kilback]

The suites at the Waldorf Astoria are quite spacious too.

Beijing has tons of hotels, many of which have been around for ages. Constantly comparing after staying at just one or a few shows a lack of worldly experience. People who are truly knowledgeable, cultured, well-mannered, especially those who grew up with a sense of inner richness, wouldn't obsess over such comparisons.

[Dr. Israel McLaughlin]

You're right, perhaps I wasn't 'spiritually wealthy' growing up. I've studied for a long time but feel I haven't learned much, and yes, my age and experience are limited, so I haven't seen much of the world, which is why I 'nitpick.' But as a consumer, it's my right to make comparisons. Having spent my money, it's also my right to choose products and a lifestyle that suit me. If you don't like 'endless comparisons,' you can simply ignore these posts. The more you reply, the more the algorithm will show them to you.

[Mr. Nathan Waelchi]

Exactly... I didn't think so before, but after staying at a few hotels in Shanghai, the difference is just so stark, sigh...

[Linda Dietrich]

Hahahaha, next time I'm in Beijing, I'll have to try the MO to see how good their 'top tier' (ceiling) really is.

[Marcos Goodwin]

Well said!

[Miss Angela Cormier]

It drives me crazy every time I go.

[Rafael Rau]

Mandarin Oriental, InterContinental Sanlitun.

[Karen Bruen]

I'll try the InterContinental Sanlitun next time!

[Emma Kihn]

Stop talking nonsense. Go check out the Grand Hyatt, China World Summit Wing, or Park Hyatt at Yintai Center. You really talk so big.

[Elaine Boyle PhD]

Didn't I specifically mention Marriott properties? Besides, how do you even know I haven't stayed at the ones you mentioned?

[Delia Jast]

Rosewood.

[Miss Alison Collier]

What kind of room would be a better choice?

[Wayne Marvin]

I think the Grand Hyatt is pretty well-balanced in all aspects; it's decent. But prices really shoot up during summer vacation. For summer, maybe China World Hotel (by Shangri-La) is a good bet – you can eat five meals a day there, so you won't have to worry about finding food in a 'culinary desert.' If budget is no object, go straight for the MO Wangfujing.

[Lucia Feest]

Haha, I'm actually going for work. I'll check out the Grand Hyatt next time~ Thanks for the recommendation!
