This French-managed hotel, part of the Accor stable, has surprisingly average service, but its reasonable rates make it an affordable alternative to the Peninsula Palace across the street. "Deluxe" rooms renovated in 2002 are spacious and comfortable despite the Novotel Peace Beijing (Beijing Nuofute Heping Binguan)
overdone blue color scheme (probably meant to soothe); corner rooms cost the same and are even larger. Standard rooms in the older west wing were undergoing renovations at press time, and management was tight-lipped about how they would look.
Facilities:4 restaurants (Cantonese, Sichuan, Korean, French/International); bar; small indoor pool; small but well-equipped exercise room; Jacuzzi; disappointing sauna; concierge; tour desk; business center; 24-hr. room service; same-day dry cleaning/laundry service; executive-level rooms; bakery; currency exchange.
