The hotel is nice and comfortable, but is quite over priced for what it is as there are other choices nearby. We ate at the hotel's Italian restaurant. The menu looked attractive. But the taste was not what it claimed for. The wine selection was impressive. It seemed there were more locals trying to impress other locals here. The evening dinner buffet was quite nice with great selections, but choice than the wester restaurant. It's location is convenient. If you have meetings after meetings within a day, it's a nice and easy place for people to come to meet you here so you don't have to fight the Beijing traffic.

This hotel is definitely luxurious but it‘s to be expected for the steep prices. Great beds, soft sheets, towel placed on the floor by your bed with soft slippers. Huge bathroom has both a deep tub and powerful shower. The rooms are quiet and the street noise can’t be heard. Helpful tip: If you order a wake up call, they will deliver coffee or tea to your door along with the call.

The work out area is big and looks well equipped. The pool is a lap pool; not suitable for children. But it’s a great pool for adult swimming. There are segregated hot (and cold) tubs in the changing rooms.

The breakfast is varied with just about every kind of food imaginable. We had access to the Horizon lounge, with breakfast. Like previous posts, there were not enough tables for breakfast or for evening cocktails. The breakfast selection in the lounge is much more limited than in the main breakfast area. The evening refreshments food was fresh and inviting.

The security in the hotel was tight, since the Olympic Committee was having meetings in the hotel at the time.

Can recommend this hotel but not for travelers on a strict budget.

When I stayed at the China World Hotel 10 years ago it was not a Shangri-La, which it now is. This time I stayed in a suit room which was absolutely super. The VIP limousine service from the airport was very efficient and welcoming. The gym and pool really nice, and the massage I took in the spa in the middle of the night was lovely. However, the Horizon lounge was a disappointment at least comparing with the Shangri-La in Bangkok. Not enough tables for breakfast and happy hour. It's a really nice hotel, but in my opinion it's not really worth the money. Stay there if the location is right for you (VERY heavy traffic), if you like big hotels, and if someone else is picking up the bill (or if you have more money than you know what to do with).

The best hotel we ever stayed in! Really!
The staff was very courteous,helpful, and friendly with everything. The rooms look exactly like the photos depict. We slept comfortably.
Amenities were very, very nice. The restaurant where breakfast was served was superb! Variety of choices. We were pampered!
The next time we are in Beijing we will definitely stay here.
