Palace International Hotel Beijing

Nice hotel. Location is closer to Beijing Chaoyang railway station

This venue was selected for its location to a conference I was attending in Chaoyong. The breakfasts were filling - traditional cuisine, with some stock standards western foods. Be prepared to have your google translator on the ready when talking to the front desk and do check out the food delivering robots. Staff were lovely, and the only issue was that the rooms still smelled of smokers from previous travellers. Some good restaurants and grocery shopping all round-so go for walks using the underpass across the road or head right outside the hotel for some other shops. Lots of beautiful museum pieces on display too. This hotel is not close to the city centre - it' about a 20 min drive to the Pearl Market, but is' quiet and a large hotel hotel. Be prepared for traffic jams so give yourself plenty of time to get to the theatre etc. I would come back.

This is a great hotel located conveniently on east side of Beijing if you travel to Northeast of China through fast trains. Very clean and deco is of Chinese royal style. The only issue is there is no parking in the vicinity, and everybody jam-parked there and blocking the entrance to the hotel.
