Shangri-La Beijing Hotel (Xiangge Lila Fandian)
That Shangri-La is now one of the biggest players among foreign hotel managements in China is due perhaps to its success with staff, who provide impeccable levels of service. The hotel has expanded since its 1987 opening, and the Horizon Tower, housing an opulent Chi Spa and 140 new guest rooms, will open in late 2006. Currently, rooms are a good size and comfortably furnished, if less imaginative than rooms at other Beijing hotels in this chain. Cafe Cha, on the first floor, offers the finest buffet breakfast in the capital. Although off by itself in the northwest, the hotel benefits from having space for a large and lush garden, easy access to the Summer Palaces and the Western Hills, and quick routes around Beijing via the third and fourth ring roads.
Facilities:3 restaurants (Cantonese, Japanese, International); bar; indoor pool; health club with sauna, solarium, exercise room; concierge; tour desk; business center; 24-hr. room service; same-day dry cleaning/laundry service; executive-level rooms; nonsmoking rooms; currency exchange.
