As I write this, I'm about to leave after 8 nights at the Grand hotel. It far exceeded my expectations in terms of quality with large, clean rooms and an outstanding location. I travel a lot for work and stay in different 5 star hotels almost on a weekly basis, so I'm comparing this with some of the best out... more

A traditional hotel at the heart of the city. Tradtional spacious rooms with a luxurious feel. Excellent breakfast for all tastes. The staff very friendly, polite, helpfull and professional. Fantastic location for those who like to visit The Forbidden City and the Tiananmen Square. more

Great location within Beijing. Could walk to the Forbidden City, Tianamen Square, Wafujing Street and all its shopping, the Night Market, etc. We stayed here at the beginning of our trip and at the end. Concierge was great, front desk was helpful except for one hiccup. On our second stay we were "upgraded" to a room, 4113, a handicap room.... more

We stayed here as part of our China tour. It is very centrally located just a few blocks from Tienemen Square and the Forbidden City. Our room had a marble bath with separate shower and tub, with generous toiletry ameneties. Hard bed but typical in China, small loveseat and chair for seating, with dpendable Wifi. ( Expect Chinese sensorship when... more

This was our second stop in China and the beds did not get any softer. We had paid extra for a Forbidden City View room. On the days there was no smog we could see the rooftops of the Forbidden City and the flags over Tianaman Square. I do feel it was worth it and we were located on the... more

This hotel is a deal for its price and yes I know the price is not that low. It has possibly the best location in the city for a tourist oriented hotel. You can literally spit on the Forbidden City it is so close (not that you’d want to do that). It is also located literally next door to Tiananmen... more

We stayed at the Grand as part of an extended tour of China booked with a tour operator. We liked the position as our room overlooked the Forbidden City (when you see it through the smog). Entrance gate is attractive and staff are very attentive. Rooms were attractive, food was good. We walked through the adjoining hotels to the shopping... more

This is an excellent, luxury hotel with impeccable appointments and service. Yes, it is expensive, but I did not feel that it is overpriced. The hotel does not attract the tonier set of the Grand Hyatt, for example, and is not as trendy, which was fine with me. I was very comfortable here. One caveat: the restaurants in the hotel,... more

We spent 5 nights at the Grand Hotel on the last leg of our tour. This was the oldest of all the hotels in China that we stayed in but it was quite comfortable. The Atrium is lovely, however, at night there is often musical entertainment and the noise filters through to the rooms. Our room faced onto the main... more
