I stayed at the Novotel Beijing for a period of 5 days. It's location, is just about as central as can be. Not far from Tianan'men Square or the subway and shopping locations.

It is certainly a very grand hotel, the entrance is stunning. During my visit, I found that the staff triend their best to make my stay very comfortable. I found that there was no language barrier as the staff were quite compotent. There is a concierge service, as well as a currency exchange desk in the lobby. There is a gym, gift shop (an expensive gift shop, though), tennis court, pool and sauna, body massage area.
There is a French restaurant, Celebrity Hall restaurant, Japanese restaurant, chinese restaurant, coffee shops, and a Westernised restaurant. Some items on the menu are rather expensive, but not a rip-off.

The whole hotel is beautiful and immaculately displayed.

The rooms, however, are not very desirable. An average room has a bathroom and one large room with beds. These rooms are not decorated with the same beauty as the lobby area.

I enjoyed my stay, you will too.
