Luxury landmark hotel near Beijing’s Forbidden City
A four-year, $35-million renovation, finished in 2006, completed the transformation of the somber former Palace Hotel into one of Beijing's most refined hotels. The Peninsula's trademark fleet of Rolls Royce Phantoms (plus BMW 7 series) whisk guests from the airport to the hotel. The 44,000-square foot Peninsula Spa by ESPA offers dozens of treatments. Jing and Huang Ting restaurants provide sumptuous visual and culinary feasts. Guests can reach the Forbidden City within a 15-minute walk.

Rooms
The 525 rooms -- 57 of them suites -- whose Features section looks this way in the manuscrip lean toward simple elegance, with earth-tone colors and streamlined furniture. All rooms feature a white marble bathroom, 42-inch flat-screen television, CD and DVD players, free high-speed Internet, and Wi-Fi.
Dining
The two main restaurants capture the essence of old and new Beijing. Huang Ting, which serves traditional Chinese cuisine, resembles a nobleman's courtyard house. The wooden door and elaborate screens came from demolished homes in Shanxi Province. Jing serves fusion fare that often ranks among the city's best meals. Jing's dining room glows with red glass curtains, white stone walls, and a stainless steel open kitchen.
Recreation
The 44,000-square-foot Peninsula Spa by ESPA offers an indulgent Purva Karma four-handed synchronized massage. The fitness center features Life Fitness machines with individual televisions and an indoor heated 20-meter (66-foot) swimming pool. The staff includes physical trainers as well as a nutritional advisor. Guests can opt for a chauffeured escort to the airport in one of the hotel's trademark Rolls Royce Phantoms.

Elegance, service and location
Our room was very comfortable and immaculately maintained, with frequent housekeeping and turndown serivce. We used the concierge to arrange airport pickup and also a day trip to the Great Wall. Both were first class and comfortable. We also ate dinner in the two main restaurants and had terrific meals. The location is central Beijing and a great base for exploring the city.

What a great Hotel!
The hotel has a fantastic staff that caters to your every need. By far the best hotel I've ever stayed in. Many English TV channels (a bonus for a weary traveler), great room, good quality all around, at a value hard to beat!
