All around a great hotel; I went on a week vacation with my family and we had a great time at this hotel. We all agreed that the location is what made this hotel shine. In walking distance from the Silk Market (about 10 to 15 minutes), the Shangri-La is in one of Beijing’s foremost tourism hotspots.
To start off the rooms were a decent size and the beds were surprisingly comfortable. All other amenities such as the usual desk, TV and coffee table came standard. What impressed me the most was the setup of the bathroom. The towels were warm and absorbent and the mirror was heated, which kept it from fogging up when you take a shower.
The Shangri-La staff all were very courteous and made sure your requests were met without delay. The reception desk staff were also very helpful as well. Whenever we needed directions, they always were more than happy to write down the address in Chinese and provide you with a map. On top of this they even gave us estimates on how much the taxi ride to our destination would cost.
Both the location and the warm atmosphere of the hotel make the Shangri-La a top-rate choice if you are set on touring Beijing with 5 star accommodations.
