Guest will notice the hotel's unique 'east meets west' style from the moment they arrive. The rich marble floors, fresh flowers and traditional Chinese décor in the foyer are enhanced by the vast skylight above. The lobby is an oblong shape, medium in size and bright and welcoming.

The hotel is located on the flourishing Beiheyan Avenue in Wangfujing, adjoining the Palace Museum in the west and adjacent to the business street of Wangfujing in the east. There are several bus lines in the area and the public transportation is excellent.

There is also a large restaurant serving reasonably priced western and eastern dishes, furnished with faux old-style décor.
