China World Hotel, Beijing, is one of the longest-standing five-star hotels in the Capital of China. I love its staff and geographical location! The service level is both highly superb and personable. I admit that the hotel is not as new as some of the five-star hotels in Beijing, but it is the \"old charm\" that gives me a sense of being at my own home! I would highly recommend this hotel to all travelers, both international and Chinese domestic, to fully experience how great this hotel is and has always been!

We stayed here for a week, and have stayed at this property for 20 years. This is an excellent location for Beijing - the mall has lots of food options, easy to get transport, and walking distance to some things (Beijing is just so huge.) The staff are very helpful and accommodating, the property is beautiful, and breakfast is fabulous (it is huge, so look at all the options before you decide.) Highly recommend!

I checked in on Sunday Oct 13. It took 30 minutes waiting in line to check in. The reception staff was completely overwhelmed by the number of people checking in. I expect better service at a 5 star hotel.

This is inconsistent with normal Shangri-La standards.

It was generally fine; however, the check in process still has issues as it takes too long and that the staff at the front desk lacks English skills.. The rooms are generally good, but could use a few updates.. Need a general bar area as the lobby lounge is nice, but cold in the winter time..

Hotel is attached to the subway and China World Mall, making transportation, shopping, and restaurants very convenient. Things inside the hotel are overpriced, staff will answer questions but not overly helpful. GuoMao is the Central Business District and is a great neighborhood to stay at - because you will be comfortable. However, if you want to be close to nightlife, stay at Sanlitun or Chaoyang.

But there is one thing we'd like to mention it to the hotel if they can get it improved that - the internet on line connection sometime gets lost, so we have to re-start it again.

The hotel lobby is beautiful, and is conveniently located with the China World Mall. The staff was very friendly.

I have stayed at Chinaworl many things in the past. It still has not lost any of it old charm except for two area:

I) I miss the old Japanese restaurant ( Aria?)

Ii) Also I always would book a tennis game and hour with the tennis pro. This visit the tennis receptionist told me there were no longer any tennis pros to offer a lesson and nobody to hit tennis balls with me. I was disappointed. How can such a nice facility not have at least one coach available for lessons? That is why I rank the facilities lower on this evaluation.

Only barely Shangri La

We arrived at China World Hotel by Shangri La straight from Island Shangri La Hong Kong and the difference is remarkable. This hotel has nice clean rooms, comfortable and is as cold as we have experienced. Had a member of staff posted on our floor near old club lounge for our entire 4 day stay. Lounging on a couch generally on cell phone would not greet talk or even attempt eye contact. Paid extra for horizon club benefits which should provide afternoon tea with snacks and evening drinks and canapés. Food would constantly run out prior to scheduled time and never be replaced. Food provided at club lounge is sub standard and minimal at best. Staff and management at this hotel should look at the warmth, service, friendly staff who actually know your name and talk to you provided at their sister hotel for example Island Shangri la Hong Kong.
A very cold impersonal experience compared to their proper Shangri La branded hotels.
