The Grand Hotel Beijing (Beijing guibinlou fandian) is a magnificent former palace which has been transformed into a 5-star hotel.

The traditional design contrasts dramatically with the modern look developing elsewhere in the city.

Location

The hotel is located on a small street in the city, this crimson colored building almost appears from nowhere as you drive down the road. The hotel enjoys an exceptional location. It overlooks the Forbidden City and also has great views of Beijing's biggest avenue, Chang'an Avenue where the hustle and bustle of the street reflects the cosmopolitan nature of the city.

The Grand Hotel Beijing creates a sense of deja vu and makes you feel as if you have stepped into the shoes of an ancient Chinese Emperor.

Rooms & Rates

Much of the hotel is decorated in the old Chinese style. And its not difficult to imagine what life must have been like for the Emperors when you are staying in this elegant place. The rooms here are all furnished to the highest standards.

All of the 217 guestrooms including 160 deluxe rooms and Palace View Rooms and 57 suites such as Deluxe Suites, Ambassador's Suite, Emperor's Suite etc. are elegantly and comfortably furnished.

All the furniture in guest rooms of the hotel are made of pear-wood against a background of classical calligraphies and paintings filled with the sentiment of ancient China. Archaic Chinese calligraphy and painting that radiate an elegant traditional Chinese appeal.

You can overlook the Forbidden City and the Changan Ave from the Palace View Room.

All rooms have internet ports , free use of the High Speed Internet Access, free use of the fax machine. Separate walk in shower cabinet and a deep bathtub.

Hotel Facilities

Have a party at the Zijin Hall with a panoramic interlude on the rooftop terrace, overlooking the Forbidden City and Tiananmen Square. No austerity in the rooms and suites, which are adorned with researched objets d'art and Palace-Museum patterns.

There's life down below, too: the Fountain Bar and Red Wall Cafe even bring the trees inside; at Ming Yuan, Rong Yuan and Old Peking the floral theme extends to the artworks.

More marble surrounds the dome enclosed pool; contemporary design and Karaoke in the Free Music Palace; a shopping arcade for couture and memorabilia inside and more of the same at Wangfujing Street round the corner. Quelle grandeur!

This is a great place to stay if you want to feel like and Emperor for a day (or two, or three......)
