This is a popular convention spot, attracting leisure travelers thanks to its central location near Tiananmen Square and a range of entertainment options.

- Seven restaurants
- Comprehensive convention facilities
Rooms
Accommodations -- 592 rooms, 77 of them suites -- span two towers, one renovated in 2006 and the other built in 2007. Rooms vary in size (300-494 square feet for rooms, 527-1,312 square feet for suites), but all sport the same muted brown and white color scheme with subtle red accents and Chinese design elements. Many rooms (except superior rooms) have a separate tub and shower. Capitol Club rooms and all suites have free Wi-Fi and high-speed Internet, but otherwise fees apply. Forbidden City View suites give a bird's-eye view of the imposing imperial compound.
Dining
Guests are met by a plethora of dining options. The Capital Hotel Beijing has seven restaurants. Vigor Abalone specializes in its namesake dish. Gion dishes up Japanese fare. Xiang Xinyuan serves spicy Sichuan dishes. Li Hua Xuan focuses on fare from China's northeast provinces. On the 20th floor, Ristorante Bologna serves breathtaking city views along with its Italian cuisine. The Coffee House in the lobby keeps the caffeine flowing 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
Recreation
In addition to the staffed fitness center guests can find fun workouts at the four-lane bowling alley, pool, tennis court, or billiards tables. The sauna, Changhe Spa, and karaoke nightclub provide more relaxing options.

How do I say it
Everything should always be in context. As I am typing this the reconstruction noises on the floor above are keeping my wife awake from her afternoon nap. (we were not told this was happening). The 15th floor Capital Happy hour does not happen, except in the back corner of the 1st floor. The Italian restaurant is closed for renovations. The air-conditioning is not working and stays the same no matter what I do with the controls. If you ask me to recommend this I can not. The people are very nice and no one can say they do not try to please

Location good but old building
The location is convenient but the rooms are not very clean. Dust on many spots. Shower curtain old and not very clean. I would not go back!

Great Stay!
Overall this hotel was a great place to stay. The staff were extremely helpful and knowledgeable of the area. My wife and I wanted to go to the Great Wall by ourselves and the staff knew just how to get there. When we first checked in there was a bit of a mix up as they gave us the wrong room, that was already occupied! Oops! But they quickly realized there mistake and even threw in a free fruit basket to make up for the confusion. The location is also amazing as it's only a 10 minute walk from Tienanmen Square and the Forbidden Palace. I would definitely recommend this hotel for anyone wanting to visit Beijing.

Quick Business Trip
Clean, spacious, superb location. Set back from the street yields quiet environment, ideal after a long jet lagged journey. Proximity to # 2 subway line a strong positive for managing additional travel to and from the airport (airport express), central railway station and with one transfer the south railway station.

Respite After Busy Days
Capital Hotel at Beijing was very comfortable. Because we asked for a non-smoking room, we were upgraded to a suite - large room with 2 queen size beds, beautiful bathroom and all the amenities. The staff spoke English, helped with tours, but really didn't clean our rooms well. After 5 days, hair in shower stall was never picked up; counters not sparkling clean; old tea in teacup never cleaned out. Food in hotel was very pricey, but native fare across the street plentiful and cheap. Great Wall, Forbidden City, Ming Tombs - wonderful on tour bus. Taxi cabs wouldn't stop. Capital Hotel still good place to stay!

Take the tours set up by the hotel to the tourist spots. The buses come with an English-speaking tour guide. And you don't have to deal with public transportation. Buses are air conditioned.
