Like everything else in Beijing, the hotel industry is changing fast, with scores of new hotels opening before the Olympic Games. Though catering primarily to Beijing's well-defined business and leisure travel markets, some budget options are available. Prices at international brand hotels are rising fast and gaining parity with other major Asian cities. For mid-range and budget hotels, a reliable hotel reservation website is www.ctrip.com, which offers excellent late-booking deals.

The hotels below have been grouped into four different pricing categories:
$$$$ (over US$250)
$$$ (US$150 to US$250)
$$ (US$80 to US$150)
$ (up to US$80)
These prices are for a double room and include all taxes but not breakfast unless otherwise indicated.

Luxury

Grand Hyatt
This giant glass landmark is located on Beijing's main thoroughfare, Donchangan Dajie, within walking distance of both Wangfujing shopping street and Tiananmen Square. Boasting five impressive concept restaurants, super-chic spa, a luxury shopping mall and see-it-to-believe-it indoor tropical swimming pool, this is one of Beijing's most impressive hotels.

Peninsula Beijing
Unbridled luxury doesn’t come cheap. Two blocks from Wangfujing, the Peninsula completed an extensive US$27m refurbishment in 2006. And it shows. Every room has a 42” hanging plasma TV and DVD player, silent fax machine and bathroom TV and sound system. Those who can afford one of the exquisite suites will not feel short-changed. The shopping arcade features 50 luxury brands and the two restaurants successfully blend sophistication, atmosphere and acclaimed cuisine.
