Great Wall Sheraton (Chang Cheng Fandian)
The Great Wall was the city's first international five-star when it opened in 1984, and the building is starting to look it's age, but wins a star not for what it is now, but what it will be once renovations are completed. During the lifetime of this book, there will be a substantial reduction in the number of rooms, complete remodeling of the lobby (no more tawdry gold pillars), two new restaurants, and the opening of an international-level spa on the third floor. Executive floor rooms will be renovated first, and should your budget extend to it, they should be your first choice. The beautifully refurbished 21st Floor Restaurant serves first-class Sichuan food together with commanding views of eastern Beijing.
Facilities:3 restaurants (Cantonese/Sichuan, Italian/International, French); bar; small indoor pool with sun deck; 2 outdoor tennis courts; exercise room; Jacuzzi; sauna; concierge; tour desk; business center; salon; 24-hr. room service; same-day dry cleaning/laundry service; executive-level rooms; currency exchange.
