First I have to say many luxury hotels in Beijing are awesome, with better hardware and much better service than the ones from the same brand and category in US. But this one has become a new favorite, because I mostly connect in Beijing, and stay here almost every trip because of the late arrival and early departure of US flights.

Besides location, the hotel itself is great too. The rooms are very spacious, with 10-11 foot ceiling which is much appreciated after the spending 14 hrs in coach. The bed and pillows are heavenly. The room are very clean with no smell at all. The executive lounge has great service and food for breakfast. Lobby and public areas are clean and spacious too. Simply great after all.

If you are visiting Beijing for a long vacation, then this hotel may not be for you as its pretty far from the city and attractions. But if you are connecting to/from other city or want to stay close to airport for the 6am flight, then I would fully recommend this one.

With 1 night to spend in Beijing on our way back to London, we had originally planned to travel into central Beijing for night but decided against when we saw previously how much traffic there is! We decided on the Hilton for the 1 night and I had mixed thoughts as i will admit, i am very fussy when it comes to hotels!!
Upon arriving, staff from the Hilton were there to greet us to shuttle us to the hotel from the airport, the checkin staff did not speak much English, but I guess, we were in China, and asking someone in England to speak Chinese, you would not get much response. The lobby was massive, ornately decorated in marble. We had a small snack when we arrived which was nicely served. The rooms were very large and spacious, the bed was extremely comfortable too! Breakfast I must say was superb considering we were at an airport hotel. They had a humungous buffet, where they could prepare whatever you wanted for you. To conclude, a successful trip to help us on our way home to London...

I think its all been said before, but this Hilton is top notch. Ideally located just a few minutes from Terminal 3 and serviced by a regular shuttle service.

I did not book breakfast initially, so paid for it on the day and relative to the room cost it felt a tad expensive (c£20/person) - although worth every penny given the huge selection and freshly prepared meals (including Chinese soup noodles & dumplings, omelettes and fruit/vegetable juices). So if given the option, book a room rate which includes breakfast!

Perhaps it is simply the welcome site of a familiar hotel and comfortable bed after long flights into Beijing, but I really love this hotel. The rooms are large, the service is very friendly and efficient, the workout center is adequate, the free wifi in the lobby is consistent and fast, the buffet is wonderful (and other restaurants as well), and the cost is very reasonable relative to some other older hotels in the same area. On one trip, I was booked at a nearby holiday inn with a group and switched back because the quality was several levels better for roughly the same price.

If you are arriving on a late flight, you may want to confirm the shuttle multiple times before you arrive. After landing at midnight and having to wait 30 minutes for a shuttle in the bitter cold and wind chill in December, several of us were very frustrated. But even with this blunder, I would still stay again and recommend the hotel to others.
