Stayed in a Premier Suite for 3 nights. The hotel is conveniently located at the heart of Wangfujing, with a shopping mall nearby, and the famous tourist attractions such as Tiananmen Square, Forbidden City, National Museum fairly nearby. The famous "Da Dong" roast duck restaurant is a mere 5-10min walk (in the freezing cold though) from the hotel--a must do when in Beijing
The suite is very spacious, with a generous living room and a separate masterbedroom. Depending on your liking, the hotel design is a bit "dim" , even with all the lights switched on, the room is still dim , but perhaps this varies from one to another. The furniture shows a bit of wear and tear (the wooden wardrobe shows visible scratches). and the bedsheets and duvet are a bit rough to my liking
The executive lounge is a very welcoming feature of the hotel; staff at the lounge are very professional; breakfast selection was adequate, and the quality of food was very good. There is also free wifi in the lounge (free in the room if you are Hhonors Gold or above).
Perhaps the only small criticism I have is with the checkin staff at the hotel lobby; during checkin the staff asked whether we would like to pay extra for breakfast, not aware that the suite has access to the lounge which includes breakfast; we also have another executive room which was kindly upgraded to an executive lifestyle suite, but was not pointed out during checkin (perhaps I'm being a bit too mean here). And finally during checkout, the attitude of the staff was a bit cold (not rude though).
Otherwise a very good Hilton property. Noticed that the Waldorf Astoria is being built just opposite the Hilton so would be interesting to see how this will affect the client flow (not to mention a Conrad Beijing opening in 2013)

We spent a long weekend with friends in Beijing and stayed a few nights at the Hilton Wangfujing. Overall I was very impressed. The hotel is huge with sleek and trendy decor. Check in was quick and we were pleasantly surprised as we were upgraded to a slightly larger room.

Our room was HUGE but very cozy. There was a whole room inside our room that I didn't even discover until the following day! Enormous bathroom with a great shower, very comfortable bed (not too hard or too soft), a sitting area and a desk. On our last day in Beijing it snowed so we stayed in and just enjoyed the room before checking out.

We had the buffet breakfast each morning and loved it. Fresh juices, an omelet station, fruits, waffles, etc. It had a little bit of everything, all of which was delicious. Excellent, strong coffee as well, which was served in a french press that is replenished until you are ready to fly out of the room on a caffeine high. We had cocktails one night in the bar and they were perfect - strong and tasty!

Location was great - we could easily walk to the forbidden city, Tiananmen Square, etc.- and there are tons of malls/shops nearby. Getting a taxi from the hotel was always quick and very easy. All of the hotel staff were very friendly and helpful.

The only odd experience I had at the Hilton took place when I tried to use the pool. They have a lovely, large, heated pool that I was very much looking forward to swimming in. The first time I went to the pool (you have to check in at the spa desk) I was asked very politely to sign in, then I was asked if I had a swimming cap. This wasn't abnormal as most hotels I've stayed at in Asia have required you to wear a swimming cap, which they normally supply. However, when I said I didn't have one the front desk staff then told me I would need to purchase one. I asked if that was really necessary and if they had one I could use, to which they said no. So I said never mind, I won't use the pool. Then they suddenly had one I could borrow. The next day I went through the same process, being asked to buy a cap, then being allowed to borrow one. I didn't research this too closely but I don't recall seeing anything saying swimming caps were mandatory and you had to supply your own, nor have a I ever stayed at a hotel that tried to make me purchase one. Regardless, initially being told I could only use the pool if I purchased a swimming cap kind of put me off. Luckily, this was the only unpleasant experience I had at this hotel.

While getting a taxi from the hotel was easy, getting a taxi anywhere else in Beijing proved to be very difficult. The day we landed in Beijing we had booked a car service to take us from the airport to the Great Wall, then to the Hilton. This worked incredibly well as we avoided a lot of traffic, the car service was excellent and we had beautiful weather (we even saw some patches of clear blue sky!!). A friend had advised me that we should just book the car service for the entire weekend as they remain on call and, while expensive, you can use them as much or as little as you need. We decided against this as we figured we'd be doing a lot of walking and could easily flag down a taxi when needed. We were wrong.

For the rest of our time in Beijing we had freezing cold weather with steady, heavy ran that later turned into snow (it was so wet that I had to abandon my shoes halfway through the day and buy a new pair of shoes and socks at a massive shoe warehouse). Walking in this was unpleasant but we soon discovered we had no choice but to keep going as we were never once able to get a taxi even when stopping at hotels or other places where there would normally be a taxi rank. There are a number of illegal taxis in Beijing, which we made a point to avoid but even those were difficult to find. I don't know if this is normal or if it was just due to the weather but be prepared to walk, use the subway or hire a car service! The subway is hot and crowded but works well and is easy to use.

Despite the weather and our very tired, wet legs, we had a great time and would stay at the Hilton again.

The hotel is closed to the some major attractions in Beijing and walkable to most. The hotel staff provided great service and was helpful with our questions. Most spoke english well. The room was clean and had alot of walking around space. The hotel provided a great exchange rate, so if you are staying here, take advantage of it. One thing to note is that some walls of the bathroom is see thru glass, but with blinds. The door to the toilet and shower room is tinted glass. There was another hotel I stay in on this trip that had similar glass walls with blinds, so i guess it is not a strange design there.

The location is awesome. You can have a morning walk at the square area. The shopping malls and walking street are all within the walking distance.
The room is large, and really lovely.
The service is excellent.
The best Hilton I have stayed so far. I'm a SPG gold member but always stay in Hilton whenever I'm in Beijing.
You won't be disappointed either for holiday or business.
