This hotel has an amazing location in heart of Wangfujing. Walking distance to many attractions including "Forbidden City" and a stone's throw away from MRT station and a big, modern shopping mall. It's also surrounded by interesting restaurants and minutes from a pretty good Irish Pub (Moly Malone's) and Morton's Steak House (@ Regent Hotel). Then there are of course 1949, Da Dong and Quanjude restaurants, all serving great Peking Duck! All whit in walking distance. The hotel itself is more of a boutique type. On the smaller side, specially when you consider it's in Beijing where everything is grand. They are usually filled to capacity mainly owing to being the only Hilton branded hotel in this part of town. This will probably change once the Conrad and the Waldorf Astoria (Just up the street from this Hilton) open up. At current occupancy levels the hotel does seem a bit overwhelmed and understaffed. Rooms are of a generally good size and designed in a dark theme. Unfortunately the dark colors do bring out the wear and tear of the furniture and floors even though the hotel is really a few years old. Bathroom fittings are great. Lighting is quite OK. They have a great GM however who is on top of his game. Also very friendly staff at the lounge. Overall while not impressive, it does have a lot of positive points going for it. Would probably stay here as...This hotel has an amazing location in heart of Wangfujing.
