A Beijing landmark for more than a century, the 5-star Beijing Hotel is one of the most distinguished properties in Beijing and has played a key role in the city's history since 1900. Adjacent to the imperial Forbidden City and only 5-minute walk away from Tian'anmen Square -- center of Beijing, the hotel can ensure your comfort and convenience no matter you are taking a tour or on a business trip in Beijing. Combining modernism with Asian charms and Chinese hospitality, the 825 well appointed rooms and suites are able to satisfy the requirements and meet the highest standards of any discerning guests. With a wide variety of meeting and conference venues, catering from 2 to 1000 persons, the Beijing Hotel offers settings for every occasion, and its unique Chinese style banquet hall is truly a place where history has been made as the chosen location for many state functions, political conferences and international meetings. In February 2003 the Beijing Hotel has been honored with the "Five Star Diamond Award" from the American Academy of Hospitality Sciences for its excellent service and facilities.
