We dined in the Jaan restaurant (25jun09) expecting a meal to match the hotel reputation and the impressive décor. I ordered cod. Easy enough I thought. I was served with a piece of white substance about 2 1/2 inches square and about 1/2 inch high with the subsistence of a road kill. It did not look, smell or tasted like... more

My daughter and I stayed at the Raffles Beijing Hotel for four nights during the first week in June. We found this to be one of the best hotels of our trip to China (second only to the Intercontinental in Hong Kong) in terms of the overall hotel experience, and I won't repeat all of the positive attributes listed by... more

My husband, and another couple we were travelling with stayed at this wonderful hotel last October and we were so thrilled that we were able to get a great deal for 2 nights here, even if it was during Golden Week.

The location is ideal, close to the Forbidden City and other sites, including the new National Center for Performing Arts. The hotel is luxurious. The reception area, bar and... more

My husband and I stayed for three nights in April 2009, in a Landmark room. We arrived at around 7.00am straight from an overnight flight, and were delighted to find that the room was ready for us. We chose this hotel after staying recently at Raffles Singapore, and for the location. We made a very good choice. The hotel is... more

We had a perfect stay at the Raffles in February. Our room was large and comfortable, the breakfast was top notch, the service very helpful and the location was fantastic. I can't say enough good things about this hotel. I've been visiting China regularly since 1995 and this was the nicest hotel experience I have had partly because it is... more
