Advantages: All the comfort and facilities one could ask for. Disadvantages: There is a strong presence of people staying in the hotel on business.
I stayed at the Grand Hyatt Beijing with my family and had a great time, it really is a superb Hotel. We were only in Beijing for 2 nights and wanted to ensure we stayed in a hotel which was in a good location and was of a high standard . This ticked all the right boxes, the service and quality of the hotel was 5 star and located in the centre of Beijing, the hotel is just moments from Tian An Men Square, the Forbidden City, the city centre and the Wang Fu Jing shopping street, what more could you ask for. I particularly enjoyed the hotels facilities. After a long day visiting the attractions Beijing has to offer the is no place better to go and relax than the hotels huge tropically landscaped indoor swimming pool, followed by a delicious meal in one of the hotels retaurants and a drink in one of the bars. All in all i would highly ...
Advantages: Beautiful buildings and a look at life for many ordinary citizens of Beijing Disadvantages: Can be busy and cramped
A hutong is an ancient alleyway or lane found in Beijing which can date back as far as the Yuan dynasty of China in the 13th century. The crisscrossing alleys can now offer a glimpse of another part of this ancient city that is quite different to the major attractions such as the Summer Palace or the Forbidden City.

Most of the hutongs are still used as housing and are ...

Ciao members have rated this review on average: very helpful Review of Hutongs, Beijing
Advantages: convenient location, good service and delicious food. Disadvantages: Expensive.
If you lived in Beijing and you said you don't know Hotel Kunlun people would think you were joking. I have lived in Beijing for over 11 years and visited the hotel many times for business meetings and leisure. Personally I think it's one of the best hotels in Beijing.
Location
The Hotel Kunlun is situated just inside the Third Ring Road of Beijing, which is the main traffic link between the centre of Beijing and the suburbs. Its central location is convenient for visitors and guests. From Hotel Kunlun to Beijing Capital International Airport the distance is 20km, to Tiananmen Square 10 km, to Beijing railway station 8km. It is also surrounded by many embassies, such as USA, Canada, Japan, etc. It's a 10 minute drive to the British Embassy. Last but not least there are many famous and popular department stores, shopping malls ...
