Review of Westin Beijing Chaoyang Hotel ...

Pretty nice hotel, it is newer that the Marriott Northeast and offers some better view. The price is almost equal.
The lounge is bigger and has more seating, so in the evening it is less hassle to find a place to sit. But the Marriott Northeast does offer cocktails mixes by the staff, here you have to do them yourself.

The room (I got upgraded to a corner room) was really spacious with lots of windows and lots of daylight. It was tasteful decorated and the bath was huge too.
One quite negative thing (at least for me):

The bed-sheets and duvets are made from Polyester (or whatever else plastic stuff), which will acquire an electric charge with movement and friction. This leads to having little electric shock during the night when moving in the bed. It is not really convenient at all.
For a 200 /night hotel I'd expect at least cotton or linen for my bed.

Finally the bed was made with one thin sheet and two duvets, which is totally inappropriate.


At the end of the day it is a good hotel with nice staff and located in the middle of Chaoyang. Except for the bed sheets it is well recommended.
