Beijing Hotels: Seriously, None of Them Actually Impress.
-
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.

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.

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

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

Well said!

It drives me crazy every time I go.

Mandarin Oriental, InterContinental Sanlitun.

I'll try the InterContinental Sanlitun next time!

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

What kind of room would be a better choice?

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.

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