The first impression after I arrived in the hotel lobby was amazing beautiful. The room I stayed was very comfortable and the staff took spacial care of my needs. I was invited by a local friend to the East33 resturant , we enjoyed the very fresh sea food, and lobsters. more

I transferred to Raffles from a hotel in the Haidian district, and what a difference! The rooms are equivalent to a 1-bedroom city apartment, and the service from the front desk to the room valet was excellent. Yes there is construction, but where in Beijing do you not find construction? Located within walking distance of the Forbidden City and Wanfujing... more

We had a wonderful stay at Raffles at the end of April 2008. We were greeted upon arrival and had a quick tour of the property. Our bags were promptly delivered to our room.

Fantastic concierge service, great rooms, wonderful complementary breakfast, and all within walking distance of the major downtown sites. Just be sure to request a room that doesn't face the extensive construction site behind the building. We fully enjoyed our stay. more

Absolutely wonderful hotel in a prime location. Room was beautifully decorated, facilities (including free evening cocktails) were excellent and the breakfast buffet was possibly the best in China. Had a room overlooking the main street, and didn't hear a peep of noise. Staff very helpful and friendly. Great value for money, would go back in a second. more

I have nothing but positive feedback for this gem of a hotel. The room was palatial (almost like a smallish apartment!), with a separate tub & shower and a very nice sized sitting room separated from the bedroom with sliding wooden doors. I had an executive room which included daily breakfast and afternoon cocktails in the lounge. The service was... more
