THE WESTIN BEIJING FINANCIAL STREET

I have been to Westin twice over the last few weeks and both stays have been excellent. It caters well to business travelers and families alike although, the location is more suited to people visiting offices or having meetings in the nearby areas. The rooms are modern with fully equipped bathrooms and great showers. There is a choice of a few restaurants within the hotel. The buffet breakfast has a fantastic selection of food although it tends to be very busy.

Quite a place, got there in time from the airport, felt quite relaxed. The Westin Beijing Financial Street Hotel is sure to please even the most demanding traveler and is a combination of comfort and style. Everything about these rooms is of the highest quality (except the my study chair). The flat screen TV was quite nice. The guest room is nice and the furniture and décor is something that you would want in your own home. A little more would be expected of the multi-lingual staff , however I would still give them a decent pass mark. The hotel is also family friendly. The gym, the pool are truly state-of-the-art. The breakfast buffet was too good!! For the discerning traveler who knows what they want and enjoys quality, The Westin Beijing Financial Street Hotel could be a place to check out!!

We only stayed one night at the end of our trip to China. Good modern hotel. Didn't have time for breakfast. Lovely room and bathroom. Helpful door staff got us a taxi to visit the summer palace. The concierge recommended a great restaurant within walking distance for us to get duck- we wouldn't have found it ourselves as it wasn't on street level. We had lunch in the lobby but the service was lacking and one of the sandwiches we had ordered arrived as the bill was brought to us.

After a woeful experience at the Fairmont a week earlier, I decided to go back to this hotel which I have stayed at many times in the past. WHAT A MISTAKE. First room assigned was a small corner room that smelt of cigarettes and the deodorant used to try and hide the smell. I immediately went back to reception and asked for another room. As I was staying for 3 nights I also asked for a bigger room and said I was happy to wait until one became available.I was given another room but was assured that room was better. Surprise surprise, it was the same cramped layout 4 floors above. Worse still the room's aircon never quite coped with the heat coming from the huge glass wall. If this type of room represented the claimed upgrade I was entitled to as a member, I'd hate to be stuck in their base room. I then went down for a drink and after waiting what seemed like forever for a hostess to come to my table, I decided o do to the bar directly much to their horror. Next afternoon I returned to bar and despite pointing out the gin page and the options I was happy with, hostess could understand anything. I decided I forget the drink and type this up instead. This hotel once prided himself itself as being a business hotel for westerners. Unfortunately, it isn't any longer and I won't be back.

Stayed in this hotel for few nights on a short business trip. Location of this hotel is fantastic for business but not for tourists as this is in financial hub not in touristic location or in a position from where touristic places are in close location. Room was comfortable, room amenities were good, happy hour on level 6 had good spread of snacks and food with limited drink option. Hotel concierge was very helpful. I visited china after long gap and figured out that google app google map does not work in china and if you don't understand or speak their language it's very very difficult to move around in china. Hotel concierge was very helpful in guiding us and helping us in getting around. Hotel offers free bicycle for its guests and you can easily take one bicycle and move around.
