The Capital Hotel Beijing opened in 1989 and is one of the city's older deluxe hotels. Renovation in 2006 and construction in 2007 freshened up the hotel's 592 rooms. This is a popular convention spot, attracting leisure travelers thanks to its central location near Tiananmen Square and a range of entertainment options.
Highlights
- Close to Tiananmen Square
- Extensive recreation options range from spa to swimming, bowling to billiards
- 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.

Great stay for great value
We had a great time at the Capitel Hotel Beijing. We ate at the place downstairs and it was pretty good, though a bit pricey compared to what else is available. The pool falicities were nice, though we spent most of our time out of hotel anyways, so we did not take advantage of most of the ammentieis.

great comfortable secure location
I reserved a standard room for 9 days. I was given a deluxe corner room on the 11th floor with a great view. It was a large room with a beautiful granite bathroom. The room was very clean and in working order.

Very good but not 5 star
Looks fine but not up to 5 star rating. Hard mattress as most are in China. Customer service not the best. Unable to answer some pretty basic questions. Three star service. But decent value in other ways.

Western Value in Beijing
It's very Westernized which is best for people who don't want a challenge. I had already stayed at another hotel on one leg of my trip that was very Chinese and was looking for more amenities. This hotel is within walking distance to most attractions and is suitable for families as well as children.

Spacious and clean. Service was very good. Room was large, though beds seemed hard at first they were fine for sleeping. Air conditioning was strong. Excellent value for money.

Worth Considering
After 19 hours of travel from Melbourne, I was really looking forward to a good night sleep. To my dismay, the bed was effectively a concrete slab with a sheet. While hard beds are commonplace in China, this one took the cake. I even pulled the sheet back to check if it was actually a mattress...it was. The bed aside, the hotel was fair enough, especially considering it was lower priced than many options. The room was spacious, the staff pretty adept with English and it was walking distance to Tiananmen Square and Forbidden City. They also were able to book train tickets, something my Shanghai hotel wasn't able to do. I would probably stay there again if I return to Beijing.

Long walk from hotel
It probably qualifies as both dining and entertainment, but Snack Street is worth checking out.
