The Grand Hotel Beijing (Beijing guibinlou
fandian) is a magnificent former palace which has been transformed into a 5-star hotel.
The traditional design contrasts dramatically with the modern look developing elsewhere in the
city.
Location
The hotel is located on a small street in the city, this crimson colored building almost appears from nowhere as you drive down the road.
The hotel enjoys an exceptional location. It overlooks the Forbidden City and also has great views of Beijing's biggest avenue, Chang'an Avenue where the hustle and bustle of the street reflects the cosmopolitan nature of the city.
The Grand
Hotel Beijing creates a sense of deja vu and makes you feel as if you have stepped into
the shoes of an ancient Chinese Emperor.
