Capital Indoor Stadium

We enjoyed our stay at Sofitel Beijing Central and would recommend it. Pros: 1. Location was excellent in the heart of Beijing. 2. Rooms are incredibly spacious with a large glass wall to view the city. 3. Luxurious bath towards the middle of the room was opulent! 4. Walk-in robe with auto-lighting 5. Very comfortable bed and pillows and super king size (we have king size at home) 6. Options for meals 7. Quiet Cons: 1. Service. In comparison to the Hyatt in Shenzhen we found reception a bit wanting; due to the sit down nature with clients and staff, wait times to talk to staff seemed over the top. However, the team looking after the elevators were extremely helpful and vigilant. We never had to wait for an elevator from the ground floor and the team directed us to the waiting elevator. 2. The lobby is a bit smaller compared to other hotels we've been to and sometimes there wasn't enough available seating; we ended up going straight to our rooms rather than being able to enjoy the facility. 3. Some things are a bit dated and could easily be replaced such as the large couch (ours had a stain and was tilted toward the front) and the bedhead (bit of wear and tear on the leather). A few of the wood-look tiles have lifted ever so slightly but noticeable enough for a top hotel. In saying that, I'm splitting hairs. We had a wonderful time and would stay here again. BTW: still waiting for the return of our deposit!
