0 Redwall Hotel Beijing, China

Redwall Hotel Beijing, China - Few hotels in Beijing can boast of prime location, but the Redwall Hotel Beijing can hold its head up high above the rest in this. Wonderfully situated in the Commercial Centre in Dongcheng District, the Redwall Hotel is a stone’s throw away from the Forbidden City and the Imperial Park.

The shiny glass façade allows the hotel to shine out and the interior is no different. Instead of using glass in the reception and public areas, the hotel shines through the marble floors, the polished cherry wood furniture and the brilliant smiles of the highly informative and friendly reception staff.

With around 200 guest rooms and suites, the Redwall Hotel provides oodles of space that you will find extremely difficult to find in Beijing. Even the single rooms can adequately house up to five people.

Rooms are simply decorated, with rich colours on the walls and undemanding furniture (chairs, a table and dressers). The beds are comfortable enough to get a good night’s sleep after a hard day’s work or touring the city. The only thing that could be improved in the standard rooms would be to provide more lighting – the rooms do seem a little dim.

Business rooms are the best rooms here. Not only do they feature a comfortable king sized bed with nice linen, but there is enough room to hold a party, wall to wall windows with billowing curtains, plus a good working and sitting area. Perfect for business travellers, whom the hotel caters primarily for.

The Redwall Hotel’s Chinese restaurant serves up some fantastic dishes, both Chinese and Western. The black mirrored ceiling is adorned with red and cream lit lanterns, the tables decorated in red and gold silk, white linen and balloons. The garish table decoration catches your eyes so that you don’t realise that the rest of the restaurant seems a little dull; however, the food here is surprisingly good even if the menu is as boring as the restaurant.

There is also the Glanviue Coffee Bar where you can sink into one of the comfiest red sofas and sip on a coffee or other beverage and catch up with newly found friends.

The Redwall Hotel has some surprisingly good leisure facilities. The beauty salon and the health centre offers first-class treatments by professionals; the sauna room is good for relieving stress and for those who want to exercise their brains, the chess rooms is a great place to provide a challenge.

The Redwall Hotel mainly advertises its services to business people and as such, they provide some fantastic business services. There are two main meeting rooms, large enough to hold most conferences, plus all the first-class equipment and a beautiful banquet hall.
