Renaissance Beijing Wangfujing Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"I was pleasantly surprised with my stay at this hotel. It has to rank very close to the top of my hotel stays and i've been to many. I had a little bit of anxiety travelling to China cause i'm not fluent at all in the language. I only speak Cantonese. However, the staff all pretty much knew the basics of the English language which i really appreciated. The Suite that we had was UNBELIEVABLE!!! It was so gorgeous. I loved waking up and just relaxing in the room looking out the window. Also the Club floor is a MUST. The staff there are all so good. I felt so bad whenever they came by to clear my plate. I wanted to help out and do it myself. LOL. The food was also EXCELLENT on the club floor. Whatever room you're deciding to stay in ... i highly recommend paying extra for the club floor access. It's worth every penny. The pool was excellent too. It was great winding down at the end of a long walking day with laps in the pool. I just wanted to thank everyone at the hotel. My first trip to China was made incredibly rememberable with my hotel stay at the Rennaisance. Keep up the great work."

New World Beijing Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"I want to mention the staff first. They were friendly, hospitable and so helpful. A special mention to the lady at reception who helped me with an issue on Ali pay. She went out of her way to help me. Thank you. Now for the hotel, which was absolutely beautiful, in a convenient area. Close enough to the subway and about 15 minute walk to Tian’anmen square. The hotel was spotless. Breakfast plentiful, catering by for all tastes. I would definitely come back to this hotel if I was lucky enough to return to Beijing."
