This hotel gives strange second feelings... It is certainly grandiose in concept, marble floors , exotic caged birds, concierge with turban at door, attentive smiling service at reception, sumptuous couches in lounges... However from the outside it is rather ugly in spite of some efforts at garden decor and the surrounding area is nothing... It is located far away from anything walkable, litterally in the midde of fields, so a car is a must! It is convenienly placed to reach the airport in about 40 min. Without trafic jams. This having been said, the rooms are not big , even the "superior"I had , and a bit outdated in concept, furnishings , applications and decor, more 3/4 stars style. There are no elevators in hotel so access to first floor rooms is by using the stairs, a bit of a nuisance. Breakfast is set in the usual chinese buffet fashion array of oriental foods, not to european early morning palate , a very reduced selection of breads, just some small containers of butter and honey, no ham or cheese. Greasy overfried eggs arein the buffet display if you dare to touch them! Some fruit, bad orange juice, drinkable coffee. Not a very interesting or apetizing experience. The hotel seeed to be quite empty. If you are a shopper forget this option, Beijing is almost one hour away by car or taxi. The Spa here is beutiful and is decorated in quite a luxury way but prices are high for Chinese standards.
