Fairmont Beijing
Excellent, comfortable stay. Though, if you want more "airflow in your room", you need to call an attendant to open the window. Would stay here again.

Regent Beijing
The help I received from the Concierge was just incredible, cannot praise her enough. The help team that assisted with other issues were also wonderful. The room was superb, the only issue being the air-conditioning. It was far too hot and couldn't be turned down.
