Hiltons in Beijing

[straitman]

Similar thread to a few others running here.

Is anyone able to enlighten me regarding the various Hilton brand hotels in Beijing?

I/we currently have a 5 night award booking at Hilton Beijing Wangfujing for mid October. the hotel rates very well on Trip Advisor but I was wondering if anyone has personal experience.

I stayed there back in August 2014 and thought it was very good. Good exec lounge. I booked a Deluxe King and received an upgrade, as a Diamond Member, to an Executive King.



There are older reviews on AFF here and here.

I was dragged to the rather touristy street food market across the road and ate the various bugs etc to the delight of my Chinese colleagues!!!!!

Thanks TonyHancock. I actually picked it initially as the location seemed pretty good.

The centipedes weren't too bad at the street food market!!!!

The location is excellent for the Forbidden City. I finished up heading up to the Great Wall by car- on a very hot day during school holidays..............four hours later!!!!!!!

Had a stay there a couple or years back. Booked a suite which was lovely however the sofa in the lounge room was terrible. Worst I've ever not used. Its was like a bus top seat. Back attached to the wall and hard bottom.

The shopping mall was outside and a block or so of walking and about 15 mins walking to the Forbidden City.

Great Exec lounge with really good deserts.

Now I wouldn't be fool enough to question TH, but that room looks more like a Jnr Suite rather than a King Exec.

OT.

You are a smart man swanning_it.

It could well be, it was a lot of dry martinis ago.

They look more like silk worms on the kebab in the middle!

Did you try the scorpions and sea horses too?

I tried to but just couldn't bring myself to crisply bite into them. Yuk!
