“Charming and elegant hotel in Beijing”

Reviewed 21 May 2013 NEW via mobile

We toured with a group of 42 from Toronto, Canada. This was our first stay at the Raffles in Beijing. The hotel was very charming and the Raffles Ambassador John was such a delight we've told all our friends about the hotel. Fantastic location and the breakfast was absolutely splendid! We truly enjoyed our stay at your lovely hotel!

“Great location, good service with Heritage”

Reviewed 21 May 2013 NEW

Was in Beijing for 2 nights for business. Booked Raffles Beijing. It took the taxi driver quite a while to figure out where this place is. I think he was confused by the "Raffles" name. Everyone knows Beijing Hotel, but maybe they don't know about Raffles. Entering this hotel, I was invited to take a seat while they proceeded with... More

“No longer that grand, old dame that Raffles is so familiar with”

Reviewed 18 May 2013 NEW

I am sad to report that the Raffles Beijing Hotel has dropped down several notches in terms of service since my last visit. I hate to allude to this but there seems to be poor training standards compared to the Raffles which I am so familiar with you during the Jennie Chua days. This time round, the service staff (from...

Our 5 day visit to Beijing had been centered around our stay at Raffles until an unexpected pipe burst made a large portion of the hotel inaccessible.
