Wonderful Experience - 5 Star All The Way
My wife and I vacationed in Biejing in October 2006 and stayed at the Grand Hyatt for 7 nights. We loved everything about it.
First was the loction...right in the heart of Beijing, shopping and within walking distance of the Forbiden City. The under-ground world below the Hotel is something we never expected. The shopping mall below the hotel was first class with exceptional shopping. Walking a couple blocks and your on Wangfujing Street with a wide varity of shopping choices.
The Hotel itself is wonderful. Very clean and very modern Hotel. Everything you would need is available in the Hotel or within a short walk. The Staff were very attentive and anticipated your needs. The resturant on the main lobby level called "Made In China" was by far our favorite place to start our day with a great breakfast...and at night the Peking Duct at "Made In China" was wonderful...just remember to call ahead and reserve your duct for that evening...they go fast.
The hotel also has a nice selection of Audi and Mercedes with very friendly drivers. Using the Hotel cars and drivers was a very comfortable and safe way to see the sites, especially to the great wall. Highly recomended!
The Room we had was a suite and was huge...a dining area, large living room, kitchen, huge marble bath, master bedroom and a seperate office...what more could you ask for.
Finally, three levels below ground is a pool to end all pools. I have never seen such a beautiful indoor pool in my life. Also on the same level is the fitness center and spa...after a full day of climbing the Great Wall at Mutianyu...soaking in the pool and getting a massage was a real treat.
I can't wait to return back to Beijing and the Grand Hyatt soon!
