 In
the old days, the Forbidden City and its massive red walls was
called the "Innermost City". The ancient residents of the inner city
could have never expected that today, a 5-star hotel, the Grand
Hotel, Beijing, would be erected on the grounds of the former
Imperial City. You will fall in love after reaching the upper-deck
lobby where the atrium a la Portman receives you in marbled splendor
with an artsy zodiac fountain, portraying the Water Scenery of the
Royal Garden. Memories of the Old World at night abound, when the
pianist fills the air with Chopin and Strauss.
The Grand Hotel, Beijing offers 218 rooms and suites including
Standard, Palace View rooms, Ambassador and Presidential Suite, and
an Emperor's suite. All are elegantly furnished and conveniently
equipped. An "East meets West" motif exists in all rooms. Many rooms
offer views over the Forbidden City, down into the spacious Atrium,
or of Chang'an boulevard.
Some rooms are fitted with fax machines and high speed Internet
access while other rooms have bathing facilities in marble and brass
and complimentary designer toiletries which will help soothe away
the tension of long-distance travel, negotiations, and sightseeing.
After a busy day, guests can relax at the Health Club on the third
floor, with private facilities for sauna, steam room, indoor
swimming pool, gymnasium and massage, or ease away the stress of the
day with tennis or a game of golf. |

populous country forms a complex tapestry of sights and sounds
unmatched anywhere else in the world. The Greater Beijing area offers
every type of accommodation to fit any itinerary, from first rate
hotels in the metropolitan areas to smaller lodges and inns in the
surrounding areas.
