Took me a long time to post this review but I just wanted to tell anybody who is thinking of booking this hotel to just do it !
We also got upgraded from the Park Plaza and we were not disappointed. They even through in breakfast and Club privleges. Make sure to ask because the staff won't offer. The rooms were clean, modern and large. Felt like paradise when returning to this hotel after a long day of touring Beijing. Cozy, comfy beds with great linens and duvets. Very well located but taxis are cheap if you need to get somewhere fast.

I was originally booked to stay at the Park Plaza next door based on the reviews here. However, my wife showed up before me and was told the hotel was full and they took her and my son next door to the Regent. Levina at the front desk treated them like royalty and was always great to see ( just like the rest of the staff). She got us a gorgeous room on the 19th floor which gave us a fabulous view of the fireworks on the Festival of Lanterns. The room was stunning, dark woods, frosted glass, rich draperies, comfortable window seat, nice working space with lots of US plugs. The bathroom has separate shower and a nice deep tub. Lots of lighting option in the room always ensured you were comfortable.

The staff was just great, everything we needed was taken care of, turn down service was quick, prompt and thorough. Laundry, like every hotel was overpriced, but the service was excellent. Everything that's been said about the Park Plaza goes for the Regent and it's worth the extra money (though we didn't have to pay it this stay). We ended up extending our stay for several more days and they honored the transfer rate from the Plaza, which was very nice of them.

I recommend you choose this hotel if you are in need of a bit of pampering. As a woman on her own, they couldn't do enough for me. I have found that in many 5* hotels I have stayed in in the past they have either ignored me or made me feel uncomfortable for being there alone. The room was beautiful. I asked for one on a high floor for the view and was given one on the 19th floor. Everything I needed was just there in the room. I appreciated the caffitiere with the fresh coffee, the complementary bottles of mineral water and the bath salts and body scrub. You can have a soak in the bath whilst taking in the lovely view and watching TV. It would be a perfect place also for a romantic get away. The health club was amazing. The 32 metre pool was immaculate and very tranquil - a perfect way to relax between sightseeing. I was often the only person swimming in the pool. I also booked a few treatments in the spa which were just gorgeous and quite affordable. The breakfast was very expensive for Beijing but it was quite a spread. The only negative was that the cooked breakfast was a bit cold. I highly recommend this hotel for your stay in Beijing. The staff are very friendly and attentive and make you feel very welcome.

for our first time in beijing we decided to treat ourselves and book the regent .not only it's in walking distance of most of the tourists attraction and shopping district .but also a good value for money .lovely bedroom and bathroom.the breakfast buffet was excellent.
