Grand Hotel Beijing

The Grand Hotel Beijing (Beijing guibinlou fandian) is a magnificent former palace which has been transformed into a 5-star hotel. Located on a small street in the city, this crimson colored building almost appears from nowhere as you drive down the road. The traditional design contrasts dramatically with the modern look developing elsewhere in the city.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.
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.
This is a great place to stay if you want to feel like and Emperor for a day (or two, or three......)
