Grand Hotel (Beijing Guibinluo Fandian)
The Grand Hotel, a separately managed 1990 addition to the west end of the Beijing Hotel , has better service than its neighbor and a pleasant central atrium with glass elevators, cascading greenery, and a handful of elaborate fountains. Decent sized rooms are elegantly outfitted with rosewood furniture; those on the west side offer clear views of the Forbidden City (within walking distance). Bathrooms have separate shower and bathtub. Rates are unreasonably inflated, however. As with the Beijing Hotel, your money is better spent elsewhere, but do take the chance to visit the rooftop bar.
Facilities:4 restaurants (Cantonese, Sichuan, Imperial, French); 2 bars; indoor pool; exercise room; Jacuzzi; sauna; concierge; tour desk; business center; shopping arcade; salon; 24-hr. room service, same-day dry cleaning/laundry service; executive-level rooms; currency exchange.
