Lately I have seen on many forums questions about finding accomodations in Beijing in the range of US$100/night in a nice hotel (4 star +). So I decided to do a quick posting with my experience from Beijing and will follow with postings about Shanghai and Shenzhen (also frequented destinations). So here are my suggestions for Beijing:
- You can get a good rate at the Holiday Inn near the Temple of Heaven. That hotel will also put you near the Hong Qiao Market. The hotel rate was for RMB800 on the executive floor (which includes breakfast plus food during the day on the Club floor lounge).
- Hotel New Otani Chang Fu Gong == I have stayed in this one 2 years ago (when I was relocating to Beijing);
- Traders Hotel == I have stayed here too (located behind China World hotel near subway station GuoMao)
- Park Plaza Wangfujing == I have not stayed here but have heard it is OK;
- Rosedale Hotel (located near the DaShanZi area – near Lido Holiday Inn) == also have not stayed here but have had dinner in one of its restaurants — it was good.
- The North Garden Hotel == apparently good hotel with convenient location;
travel deals from our local travel agent are great and they are low cost too**;
