5 star hotels to recommend in Beijing

[feb01mel]

Anyone who can recommend any 5 star hotel in Beijing? Most important is convenient location which have the metro or subway station within walking distance as well as nearby shopping centres & eateries.

Will grand hyatt beijing, or intercontinental beijing beichen or intercontinental beijing financial street be good? Among the 2 intercontinentals, which one is better?

The Grand Hyatt is located at the end of Wangfujing and is connected to a mall. You can access the subway through the mall.

Ya Grand Hyatt Beijing is really grand hotel. It is the best hotel. Here are 825 rooms and all facilities are available here. I am in favor of Grand Hyatt. The rates are also good.

Aside from that, I will be checking out the SR Beijing in July(got a ridiculously low rate for it). Will post my thoughts on it after my stay.

The A6 was not included, but the overall rate was about $110 USD/night before taxes.

Also, any other in-depth perspectives on SPG properties with special emphasis on proximity to tourist attractions would be greatly appreciated!
