Peking Man at Zhoukoudian

Gracie Art Hotel was a very comfortable and convenient place to stay for my short visit to Beijing. It is located right on the edge of the 798 Art Zone which offers a lot, although it seemed like most attractions close pretty early and the lighting on the paths late at night is very dim. The staff was very helpful in checking me in and ordering cabs and finding late night food or drinks. Would recommend!

To get to the hotel you can take Beijing subway line 1 or line 8 to Wangfujing station then exit E3 to Wangfujing street. After arriving on the street, around 30 steps you can find McDonald restaurant on the corner of the street. Turn left walk 50m then turn left for the first small alley, continue to walk around 50m you can find the hotel. The hotel is very close to busy street Wangfujing with lots of shops and restaurants. The hotel is also near Tiananmen Square and Forbidden City To go to Forbidden City, take subway line 1 stop at Tiananmen East Gate (1 stop from Wanfujing station). To go to Tiananmen Square take subway line 1 stop at Tiananmen West Gate (2 stops from Wangfujing station). The receptionists are helpful. The bedroom is not big but clean and modern. The toilet seat is warm. You can try Beijing duck at Quanjude restaurant at Wangfujing street, 10 minute walk from the hotel.
