Beijing Peninsula Hotel
Rooms: Stayed at Beijing Peninsula-it was wonderful. They had automatic switches to control just about everything. The staff was very courteous and very eager to help. The hotel itself was beautiful in the lobby and rooms. Everything was VERY accessible which we did not find in our other hotels. Very enjoyable stay, we were sorry to leave. Only one we stayed at that had a plasma TV and also mini TV in bathroom.
Foods: They have a wonderful daily breakfast buffet at Jing. I ate the same thing everyday-congee, salty eggs, pickled cucumbers, barb. pork buns, peanuts, wok fried noodles, sponge cake, I’ve forgotten the rest but I loved it!! They also have a wide variety of american breakfast items. The other restaurant had excellent dim sum which we enjoyed.
More: I found that most of the the reception folks and the concierge folks could speak English. But other than that, most do not. ie the housekeeping folks, the engineers who fix the rooms, many of the staff in the restaurants, etc. Anyway in short, we really liked the Beijing Peninsula.
