I have been loyal to this hotel for over 15 years. I was married in this hotel. So, it is with a heavy heart that I say it has been in decline for many years under the management of a European GM. There are no toiletries in the rooms because Pieter says this is China policy. I stay in dozens of hotels in China and this seems to be the only one that doesn't provide toiletries or has heard of the "policy." The place is getting old and I had to change rooms this stay because the first room had a very musky smell and there was incredibly loud construction noise. I was informed that this came from the project in the photo I will attach. I mentioned to the management that they should disclose this loud construction on Expedia so that guests can (at the very least) request a room on the side of the hotel that does not face the construction. I have tried on multiple occasions to share my advice with the management here but, as was the case on this trip, the GM does not even reply to the e-mails I sent him. The rest of the staff is very good and tries hard but the person at the top is very frugal and he has degraded this great hotel with a hundred small, silly changes. At the same time, they launched a big "rebrand" a few years ago which I'm sure cost a fortune. I don't think anyone cares about the rebrand. They care about arriving in a room where there is a toothbrush and the business lounge serves actual food rather than a can of chips and a jar of nuts.

Room is quite small compared to what the picture shows. Very good location.

Clean room with a great view. Pool was great.

How in the world is this a 5-star hotel?!! The room (city view king bed) was not bad. However, everything was a bit of a challenge to figure out-for starters, the doors do not even have handles. I thought my key card did not work but as it turned out, I didn't push the door hard enough to open it. Just give me a door handle already. Also, above all else, the breakfast was a HUGE disappointment. The selection was PATHETIC. There was not a single hot dish with protein/meat in it. Steamed items were lukewarm at best. None of the dim sum/bao type stuff tasted like they had any meat in them, or any flavor. If you're used to a high protein low carbs diet, then you're SOL. Service was almost non-existent. You could have a stack of dirty plates on your table and nobody would come around to clean them up. The gym was small but adequate with free weights, but it was not open 24/7. The best things about this hotel was the large bathroom, the filtered drinking water, the towel warming rack, and ice available at breakfast buffet (you'd be surprised that it's almost impossible to get ice in China). The worse things are the breakfast buffet and service, the inflexible room light control design, and the lackluster ambience for a 5-star hotel. Comparing to the Pudong Shangri-la we stayed at in Shanghai, this place is barely 3.5 stars in every aspect. I chose this one because of the location (near my relatives) and the raving reviews of the breakfast buffet but I am extremely disappointed.

Great location, friendly staff. Good gym and swimming pool.

Friendly and helpful staff and the late check-out at 2pm was appreciated

Snow, Jacky, Craig, Darren made our stay in Beijing great!

Room was big and clean, bed comfortable and breakfast excellent. Lots of shopping and dining available in the adjacent, walking distance mall

Friendly staffs, room is clean and neat, gym is spacious enough. Next to indigo mall, very handy
