The Grand Hotel Beijing (Beijing Guibinlou Fandian), a magnificent palace converted into a five-star hotel, is located on a small street and almost appears from nowhere as you drive towards it. The building's traditional sweeps and dragon's tails contrast dramatically with the modern design trends sweeping the rest of Beijing. Guests of the hotel benefit from an exceptional location. The Grand Hotel overlooks both the Forbidden City and Beijing's most cosmopolitan concourse, Chang'an Avenue, with all its colorful urban hustle and bustle. The hotel's traditional Chinese characteristics invoke the styles of the palace's bygone rulers alongside modern amenities uncommon during the Qing Dynasty like complimentary high speed Internet access, fax machines and a separate rainforest shower and deep bathtub.
The hotel has 217 guestrooms including 160 deluxe rooms and Forbidden City View Rooms, 57 suites such as Deluxe Suites, Ambassador's Suite, Emperor's Suite as well. All rooms are elegantly and comfortably furnished. All the furniture in guest rooms of the hotel are made of pear-wood, against a background of archaic Chinese calligraphy and painting that radiate an elegant traditional Chinese appearance. You can overlook the Forbidden City from the Forbidden City View Room. Part rooms and Suites face Changan Ave and floral Garden Atrium. All rooms are equipped with the internet ports, free High Speed Internet Access, free fax machine, separate rainforest shower cubicle and a deep bathtub.
