Hotels in Beijing, China

Swissotel Beijing is a very nice and comfortable hotel, and in a good location. I like the most is their knowledgeable and friendly staffs. When I checked in, I was informed that my room was upgraded. I asked how and what time I should leave for American Embassy with an appointment at 8:30 am to replace my lost passport. I was given a printed map, and told to take a taxi at 7:00 am because it would be difficult to find a Taxi, and bad traffic during the rash hours. I spent the all morning in the embassy, and found out that I could not be back to check out at 12:00 pm. When I called the hotel, the staff extended my check out time to 1:00 pm. I feel that they provided both comfort and help when I had problem.

Myself and my family had the pleasure of staying at the Fairmont Beijing from 15th August to 18th. We had arranged airport pick up with the hotel and they were there to meet us after we departed the baggage area - a hotel rep whisked us through the airport to the waiting car very efficent and helpful ( speaks english ). The hotel is newly opened and is wonderful with large rooms with two TVs ( one in the bathroom ), the staff are very frendly and will go out of there way to asist you in anyway. A highlight of our stay was dinner in the CUT Restaurant. It has to be the best steaks in Beijing and the service was equally as good. We also had excellent breakfasts and one lunch in the hotel. They have just opened the Fairmont Gold lounge where you can have breakfast and evening snacks - well worth the extra money you pay . Looking forward to visiting Fairmont Beijing again and trying a few other Fairmonts in the future .
