It's not easy to pick a "central" location in Beijing as it is no longer much of a city for walking, but the St. Regis Beijing is in a good spot. There are a couple of high-end malls within an easy walk and a very nice park nearby ... it's in the embassy district so there are some attractive streets for a stroll. But the best part of the St. Regis Beijing is not the location, nor the hotel itself - although it's considered an "old hotel" by Beijing standards (what, 12 years old or so?) it's in excellent shape. No, the best part here is the service - unfailingly friendly, personal, pleasant, fast, and exactly correct. The folks at the concierge desk are always ready to help in any way. Room service was swift and delicious. I felt as if I'd stayed here before and the staff was welcoming me back. Definitely recommend.
