Raffles Hotel in Beijing is an absolute treasure. It is virtually next door to the Forbidden City which is across from Tiananmin Square, around the corner from a number of up market shopping malls, and, from a wonderful local market which is truly Chinese. Right out the front is the entry to the Beijing underground railway. It is a courtly... More

Every time one arrives at the hotel, the staff greet you as if though they are really pleased to see you - whether it is the bilingual concierge staff or the reception. They greet you by name. The reception staff are always friendly with a fantastic can do attitude. The concierge guys are the best in their business - all... More

We picked this hotel for its excellent location and 5 star reputation. It was an outstanding choice. We had a beautiful,quiet,spacious room in the historical section of the hotel. We felt like we stepped back in history in this beautifully maintained hotel. After traveling in China for nearly a month, Raffles was a perfect oasis. The staff was efficient, the... More

My partner and I recently stayed for three nights combining meetings with new Chinese work colleagues with visits to the major city sights. We had stayed at another hotel in Beijing earlier in our trip but the time at Raffles was superb and great value for money. The hotel is all class and still carries all the hallmarks of its... More

The Raffles hotel exceeded all my expectations. The hotel was very elegant and tastefully decorated. The service was 5+ stars. The staff would go out of their way to make sure your stay was comfortable; That your needs were met; That your taxi meter was on when they called you a taxi; That your reservations were made at the restaurant,...

Having just returned from a week's stay here, I honestly can't think of any improvements that could be made. We arrived tired after a 16 night cruise in the Far East. We were met by John ~ an Aussie who is the hotel ambassador, he promptly sat us down with a welcome cup of tea and gave us so many... More

Very beautiful hotel worth more than 5 star's and better than Raffles Singapore. Only disappointment was the the degustation dinner was only 3 star. Dissapointed that the chef would not change one part of the menu and most of the meal was soups. The wines picked by the staff were a very good choice.

Spent 3 nights here in May 2012. It is in a great location but what comes across from the moment you enter is the quality at all levels. The concierge service was exceptional, as was the room service. This is not a gimicky hotel it relies on good service, good rooms, good food. Faultless for me.

Very pleasantly surprised at Raffles. The web pictures don't do the hotel justice. Rooms are tastefully decorated and really big. All staff were incredibly helpful and had some great recommendations from the concierge. Location is very central and ideal for business, shopping and for the sights. Breakfast was one of the best buffets I have seen (after the buffet at... More
