Service39 mentions · 1 filmed
- “The service is very good, and the tables are in individual rooms. Our dishes arrive quickly and are of excellent quality.” 9
- “I liked when I told housekeeping of extras I needed and they were there every day.” 17
- “The concierge and butler service at the hotel were also helpful and a pleasure to meet.” 10
- “The butler service is responsive... But really not smiling.” 9
- “The butler service could easily be reached via the telephones in the suite. The butlers rotated, and all of them were fantastic and quick to fulfill any requests.” 10
- “The butkers try hard and are excellent and I love the the breakfast - but this property needed a renovation 10+ yrs ago. I like it because of location, size of suites and overall service...but it's definitely not luxury” 5
- “Even if you don't notice that, the efficient concierge team makes you see all its benefits with their noteworthy recommendations.” 13
- “Service was great both morning I ate here, and staff will make tea/coffee to order” On camera27:48
- “In true Ritz-Carlton fashion, this is a leader in the city with top-tier service, a pair of excellent restaurants, and timeless decor that tells the story of Chinese culture” 12
- “There were a few service hiccups, like no bellmen on duty at check-in and a few issues with translation while ordering room service. In general, though, the staff was polite and solicitous, offering help or direction at every turn, and they seemed genuinely excited to be working at the hotel.” 11
- “The butler service and attention to detail is also very high.” 17
- “When I arrived, I went directly to a receptionist available to check me in. This one seems a bit lost, which is surprising in a 5 star property.” 9
- “We arrived at the property at 4 p.m., an hour after the hotel's official check-in time. We were greeted by a friendly bellman who took our bags and directed us to the concierge and the hotel's check-in desks.” 10
- “The check-in process was fast, the staff was warm without being performative, and the whole arrival felt like being welcomed into someone's home - if that home happened to be a palace.” 3
- “However, I cannot say the same about the concierge (particularly Neil) and the butler service. They offered fantastic, quick service and were always willing to help.” 10
- “So we arrived at 10am at the hotel after a red-eye flight from Singapore to Beijing, and proceeded to the front desk. We were greeted in English, and not only were we upgraded to the suite, it was ready and at no extra charge for the very early check-in!” 6
- “Check-in was prompt and efficient.” 17
- “Unfortunately, the check-in service was not up to what I expected, especially at a 5-star luxury hotel brand that's part of the biggest hotel chain in the world and known for providing top-notch service.” 10
- “However, I cannot say the same about the hotel staff as a whole, which was a major letdown. There was a language barrier with nearly every staff member (aside from the concierge), which I did not expect at an international 5-star hotel.” 10
- “The service in the hotel was great.” 17
- “Generally speaking, I found the service at the St. Regis Beijing average at best. At no point did I think to myself, "This service is fantastic," which is what I expect from the St. Regis brand.” 10
- “St. Regis is renowned for its butler service, and it was up to par here.” 11
- “For example, the hotel executed room service very well, the club lounge was a nice touch, and service was generally a bit more polished than at some of the other properties I've stayed at in China.” 16
- “Every single person I encountered was first-class - not just polished and professional, but genuinely warm and clearly trained to a standard ABOVE the already-high St. Regis brand requirements.” 3
- “The service at the restaurant was quite poor, with the staff being incredibly slow to respond to any requests. However, they did a good job replenishing food items.” 10
- “Regis properties have "sit down" check-in, this one doesn't. That being said, the associate checking me in was friendly, and I appreciated that she proactively offered me a Platinum upgrade to a Statesman Suite.” 16
- “I do want to stress that the staff I interacted with were all very friendly, professional and efficient.” 8
- “Our only major negative takeaway from the experience would be the fact that despite St. Regis' renown for its Butler service, we didn't even get so much as an introduction. Said service, for us, remained non-existent.” 13
- “Still, I found the service lacking, particularly with the front desk and the restaurant staff. We experienced a language barrier with nearly every single employee, which made everything more challenging.” 10
- “All the restaurant and room service staff as well as the various butlers I met were likewise very friendly and cheerful without being overbearing.” 8
- “The service so far, as we have found in the rest of China, has been exceptional. The butler was here straight away to introduce herself and tell us about services available to us.” 17
- “When I arrived and gave my name at the front desk, the agent politely excused herself and returned with the Front Office Manager AND the Director of Rooms - both of whom greeted me personally, welcomed me warmly, and escorted me to my suite.” 3
- “Stayed at the Westin Beijing Chaoyang about a year ago, and it was much better than the St Regis (at least judging by your pics). Much more modern vibe, and food and service was top-notch throughout.” 16
- “Neil, the staff concierge, warmly welcomed us to the property and engaged in some small talk while we waited to speak to a front desk representative.” 10
- “Fortunately, a manager intervened and things improved. Probably the language barrier played an important role, but in an international 5-star hotel I expect staff who speak English, but this was not the case.” 21
- “The staff passed us by, without inquiring about our order. It felt like we were transparent, which is a horrible feeling in a luxury property. At the bar, the bartender was very busy taking inventory rather than dealing with customers.” 9
- “The rooms are very nice and the photos probably don't do them justice.” 17
- “2. Their was one concierge whose English was excellent but for the most part several of the concierge's understanding of English was marginal. This meant getting directions difficult.” 17
- “We were greeted by a friendly bellman who took our bags and directed us to the concierge and the hotel's check-in desks. However, before we turned to start the check-in process, I stopped to admire the intricate designs of the ceiling and chandeliers and the marble finish throughout.” 10

- “In true Ritz-Carlton fashion, this is a leader in the city with top-tier service, a pair of excellent restaurants, and timeless decor that tells the story of Chinese culture” 12
- “The two windows on either side of the wall didn't let in enough light to illuminate the room at any point without the help of all the lights. It just kind of felt dark, though I was happy for the extra square footage.” 8
- “The Statesman suite is in every way consistent with the photos available on the property's website: elegant but still stuck in the 80s.” 9
- “I had to call again before the refund finally went through, so it's something to watch out for. Although it is called a suite, it really is not very large overall. The decor also feels rather old-school and formal.” 1
- “The Diplomat Deluxe room is very nice and has enough space to be comfortable in.” 17
- “While I appreciated the suite upgrade, overall I found the decor to be a bit dated and past its prime.” 16
- “When I got to the hotel, there were no bellmen or doormen, so I strolled in with my suitcase. Directly inside the door was a bell desk, but no one was there either.” 11
- “Below the coffee machines was a cabinet that held the room's minibar. As expected, minibar prices were a little ridiculous, as a single can” 10
- “Welcome to Freddie's Flight Reviews Where today I'm in Beijing at the St. There's a stocked mini bar and kettle but no coffee machine, which I kind of expect these days” 2
- “The design is done in a beautiful Chinese decor - not overdone, not kitschy, genuinely elegant.” 3
- “Welcome to Freddie's Flight Reviews Where today I'm in Beijing at the St. There's a nice big desk with so many random bits and bobs” On camera20:00
- “The room felt quite dated already at this point and though it would have been nice to be able to try some of the other restaurants, I can't say I was sorry they were closed.” 8
- “The bedroom was equally big and the bed comfortable and on the soft side.” 6
- “The suite featured a half bathroom near the room's entrance. This bathroom was covered in marble and felt luxurious.” 10
- “Regis, with high ceilings and a rather grand lobby. That being said, the furniture in the lobby wasn't especially well maintained, and it doesn't seem like they put much effort into keeping the hotel clean.” 16
- “The decor looks the same so I guess it's just starting to show its age, but we never saw a dirty cup or glass anywhere.” 16
- “The workstation was in the corner of the room. In front of it was another armchair, even comfier than those in the living room.” 10
- “Simply put, the 1-bedroom suite at the St. Regis Beijing was incredible. It was massive, and I loved how everything served its function. Some furniture was outdated, but the hotel room still felt luxurious.” 10
- “The room had a stunning city view. The night views were incredible, but the daytime views were also pretty spectacular.” 11
- “The room was beautiful. There was a king bed dressed with white linens, a simple leather bench at the foot of the bed, and nightstands on either side.” 11
- “I did appreciate that the desk had a proper rolling desk chair. There was also what I believe was a fax machine?” 16
- “Overall, I thought the room was beautiful and very large.” 11
- “In the lobby is the bar area and a very nice piece of furniture. There is also a small living room with TV screen, armchairs, and work desk. A setup of the kind you dream of having at home, including the office chair, a model that costs over 800€.” 21
- “Hidden in a panel on the desk that you had to practically yank to open was a set of plugs and A/V inputs. It looked shoddily finished, thanks to the crude caulking.” 11
- “The suite's main bathroom's was through the bedroom and covered in marble. It was among the largest and most luxurious I have ever seen in a hotel room.” 10
- “Celestial Court featured some interesting art pieces and decor that were reflective of traditional Chinese culture.” 10
- “To the left was a small closet - like, shockingly small. It had plenty of hangers, but tiny drawers, one of which was taken up by the safe, and there was nowhere convenient to put my suitcase.” 11
- “The room was quite spacious at 538 square feet.” 8
- “As I walked into the living room, I was immediately shocked at how massive the suite was. I could not even see where the entrance to the bedroom was.” 10
- “The St. Regis China Suite is incredible! My husband often travels to China and other areas for work and I am able to attend the trips with him a few times a year.” 3
- “Waiting in the suite on arrival was a large bowl of fresh fruit, candies, and sparkling water. Every detail was considered. I have stayed in a LOT of suites. This one is in a category of its own.” 3
- “Regular deluxe rooms were 495 square feet, but my superior deluxe king was listed at between 581 and 603 square feet, and it certainly felt spacious.” 11
- “Next to the wardrobe was a large plant. I loved the touch of green in the room.” 10
- “Notably, some of the finishes were already looking scuffed and poorly assembled. Although I was staying a single night, I would have loved a bigger closet in which I could have opened and unpacked my suitcase, but that was the one major downside of the accommodations.” 11
- “The room felt really large, but I think it could have been laid out better. There was just a lot of empty space in the middle that felt wasted.” 8
- “The decor is beautiful, and pretty characteristic of the St. Regis brand.” 16
- “The ground floor was also home to the Drawing Room for coffee, tea and small bites. I especially liked the Dale Chihuly glass installation on the far wall.” 11
- “The decor also feels rather old-school and formal. This large cabinet has a nice antique look and works well for storing larger luggage.” 1
- “The living room was quite large and featured a large plush sofa with 2 equally comfortable and plush armchairs.” 10
- “The rooms have been nicely refurbished and feature modern decor with more traditional style furnishings.” 17
- “Still, the worst smelling non-smoking room I had was Westin Guangzhou, and even that, I didn't end up moving.” 5
- “The room is still from the 1980s, perhaps only the TV and light bulbs are more modern.” 21
- “There was a floor lamp on one side and a side table with another lamp on the other side of the sofa. Although the furniture was a bit dated, I think it exuded luxury through a feeling of simple elegance.” 10
- “Regis. We were upgraded to the Statesman Suite prior to our arrival. The suite was very nice.” 17
Food36 mentions · 2 filmed
- “In terms of the hotel's other dining options, as I've noted in a previous blog post, this hotel does room service really well, which I appreciate.” 16
- “During our visit, the food selection was extremely limited. Even worse, the food was not even labeled. Since my wife and I do not eat pork, we had to ask a staff member if each food item included pork.” 10
- “Lastly, lets take a look at the exceptional breakfast There are so many food counters here and several chefs who will make stuff like omelettes, noodles and congee” On camera27:03
- “Breakfast is served in the property's buffet restaurant, located on the first floor. The service is very bad. There are 15 tables set up, but I am seated on a dirty table and it will take 5 minutes for them to deign to clean it.” 9
- “This is the hotel's all-day dining outlet and features changing buffets throughout the day as well as a mixed menu of Chinese and Western dishes. You could get things like my dan dan noodles, but also a club sandwich (which was pretty good).” 8
- “To use our $100 credit from booking through Amex we went to the Celestial Court Restaurant Specialising in Cantonese food but they also had Beijing classics like Peking duck Also, the prices were quite reasonable for a 5 star hotel” On camera24:57
- “The buffet is of rather average quality. There is diversity, but the choices are not of immense quality.” 9
- “The breakfast then was truly monumental, starting with the room where marble reigned here as well. Open kitchen and virtually endless choices.” 21
- “The desserts look recycled from the day before (and they were already not appetizing). In short, save your calories for something else.” 9
- “My first order was for breakfast on my first morning, when I got what amounted to an egg burrito (it was fine, but not worth ordering again).” 8
- “Incredible that you thought the breakfast was subpar -- I thought STR Beijing had an exceptional breakfast, and even your photos make it look pretty delicious.” 16
- “The str definitely is not luxurious hardware wise. The butkers try hard and are excellent and I love the the breakfast - but this property needed a renovation 10+ yrs ago.” 5
- “On our visit, the buffet had an excellent selection of breakfast foods. The first of several hot food stations included bacon, hash browns, boiled eggs, and fried eggs.” 10
- “The buffet itself was big. And while I usually love "Asian breakfast buffets" (I realize that's quite a generalization, but it's typically true almost across the board), that's not the case in Beijing. This was the third breakfast buffet that missed the mark.” 16
- “What surprised us was that on Sunday morning we actually had to wait in line to get in. I had only encountered that before in Sanya... Later we learned that the hotel shares the breakfast venue with the residences/apartments, so it gets especially crowded.” 1
- “Speaking of wines, Rui Pastry Shop pairs you some excellent ones with sweet favorites.” 13
- “The cold buffet is pretty good, but that's the only positive thing. The choice of hot dishes is limited, and the desserts too sweet.” 9
- “Main dining area. There actually weren't many tables, and the space was quite small.” 1
- “In true Ritz-Carlton fashion, this is a leader in the city with top-tier service, a pair of excellent restaurants, and timeless decor that tells the story of Chinese culture” 12
- “Breakfast had an excellent assortment of different food types. I particularly liked the variety of cheeses every day.” 17
- “Anyway, we waited 45 minutes and left, without anyone even trying to catch us Dinner service at the Garden Court On the second evening, we decide to have dinner at the buffet restaurant, the same one where breakfast is served. We made a reservation, but the attendant didn't care.” 9
- “The breakfast buffet featured an extensive selection of Asian and Western foods. It was one of the best hotel breakfasts I have ever had.” 10
- “Incredible that you thought the breakfast was subpar -- I thought STR Beijing had an exceptional breakfast, and even your photos make it look pretty delicious. Perhaps your taste buds were just having an off day if you considered the spread to be "tasteless"?” 16
- “The food was largely tasteless, lukewarm, and not cohesive.” 16
- “Renaissance Wanfujing Has a wonderful breakfast, both Asian and Western, if you are there sightseeing you might not have the energy to walk around the neighborhoods.” 5
- “I had dinner at Celestial Court, the hotel's Chinese restaurant, and the food and service were some of the best I have encountered anywhere in the world.” 3
- “After grabbing several plates of food, my wife and I sat down for breakfast. While the breakfast was delicious, unfortunately, the service was relatively poor. When we sat down, we requested beverages, which took more than 15 minutes to arrive. I had to get up to ask if they had forgotten our drinks or if the order was lost.” 10
- “Some of the Chinese options were the only redeeming quality of the buffet, including the noodle station.” 16
- “@Greg - I agree with you about Shenzhen Grand Hyatt - best Italian restaurant!” 16
- “The menus take a long time to arrive, as does the wine list. Once our dishes are ordered, mine will take more than 30 minutes to arrive” 9
- “After my drink, I retreated back to my room and ordered a club sandwich from room service, which was small but tasty.” 11
- “I dined at Chinese, a way to use my 100$ credit. I was alone in the whole restaurant. I enjoyed Wagyu and wok-cooked shrimp and a Chinese beer.” 21
- “I took advantage of the complimentary coffee more times than I can count, given the crazy hours I was up. And I did appreciate that they served French Press coffee.” 16
- “Breakfast was an enjoyable affair. The restaurant is located near the Front Desk and food was plentiful. The selection was mainly Chinese, with some Japanese and some pastries.” 6
- “Stayed at the Westin Beijing Chaoyang about a year ago, and it was much better than the St Regis (at least judging by your pics). Much more modern vibe, and food and service was top-notch throughout.” 16
- “The doses are quite generous in alcohol, and the buffet very qualitative, with a daily rotation that allows not to get tired of the same dishes day after day.” 9

- “On my last day, waiting for my airport transfer, I had tomato soup and French fries in the lobby bar. Even THAT was great.” 3
- “In addition to its great location in the diplomatic district, the property offers 24-hour butler service, a spa and swimming pool, and five restaurants including the casual Garden Court with a show kitchen cooking up Western and Asian food.” 12
- “The surrounding commercial facilities are comprehensive, and the location is extremely convenient.” 1
- “The butkers try hard and are excellent and I love the the breakfast - but this property needed a renovation 10+ yrs ago. I like it because of location, size of suites and overall service...but it's definitely not luxury” 5
- “The St. Regis Beijing is a fantastic property in a prime location worth considering when visiting Beijing.” 10
- “The location is good for business travelers who are familiar with the city and don't care about being too close to the river or Pudong. However, if you're looking for a lively scene, especially at night, you might want to stay elsewhere.” 11
- “The hotel, a 5-minute walk from the nearest metro station and close to the Forbidden City and Tiananmen Square clearly possesses the allure that only a well-located property can offer to travellers.” 13
- “If I were to list the greatest problem, that would be of the location and transport options. It was not near the metro and there was not much nearby within walking distance.” 6
- “The hotel's location is fairly convenient for getting around by taxi, but if you have a Hilton free night certificate, you could also consider trying the Waldorf Astoria in the Wangfujing area, which may be better if shopping is a priority.” 1
- “The hotel is located in a truly spectacular area for getting around to the city's most iconic destinations.” 21
- “The St. Regis Beijing over-delivers on every single promise. The service is among the best I have seen anywhere in the world. The location is excellent.” 3
- “If the airport wasn't the other option, I might have advised inside (or just outside) 3rd Ring instead. That having been said, both the Westin and Marriott NE are optimal picks for both getting around town and being reasonably close (in terms of travel time) to the airport.” 5
- “The property is located in the heart of the diplomatic district, in an area that is very well served by transportation since the metro is less than 5 minutes from the hotel.” 9

- “I thus caught a chance to book this 5-star hotel at 163€. A truly spectacular price for this category of hotel, but best of all. thanks to FHR I would have had benefits not included in my Titanium Elite status.” 21
- “I booked a regular deluxe room for $234 per night, which gave me the opportunity to cancel right up until the day of check-in. With taxes, the total came to $273. Not cheap, but not super expensive for a luxury property like this one at a busy time of year.” 11
- “Last spring we stayed in Beijing and I kid you not, I did not want to leave the hotel. They are well worth the price. You feel like royalty staying in that suite.” 3
- “Here's what we had, including mantis shrimp dumplings and suckling pig Pretty good and worth a visit if you're too lazy to leave the hotel” On camera25:31
- “At this price I would say it's just fine, if it were more expensive (probably) there are better alternatives to consider.” 21
- “They are well worth the price. You feel like royalty staying in that suite. The bathroom was my favorite part only second to the view.” 3
- “Check both the cash rate and the points rate before you book - either way you are getting incredible value.” 3
- “The only other thing I'd note about the St. Regis is that internet was a real opportunity. I'm familiar with the challenges of internet in China, but I had a VPN, and by far had the fewest problems at the W Chang'an, for what it's worth.” 16
- “The treatment menu was several pages long and services were pricey, running between about 600 and 1,600 CNY ($91 to $243).” 11
- “And the price - whether cash or Marriott Bonvoy points - is genuinely exceptional for what you receive.” 3
- “Very very disappointed by the experience itself. But considering the price paid, it becomes shameful. We won't return. Never.” 9
- “I looked into room rates at the St. Regis and they seemed too good to pass up.” 8
- “My only mild criticism: spa treatment prices run roughly on par with a night in the hotel. Slightly disconnected from the property's otherwise exceptional value.” 3
- “For 12,000 points I am very happy, but probably wouldn't feel I had great value at a category 6 redemption level to be honest.” 17
- “This is the total price I paid which included a few perks from Amex so overall I think it's great value” On camera29:20
- “Then on the right side was the minibar, which actually had extremely reasonable prices ~$3 for a Diet Coke, which is less than they charge in the restaurant).” 16
- “A daily rate of about 1000 Yuan, slightly more than SGD$200. This rate would probably be that of a 4 star hotel in most other major cities, competitively priced with Bangkok, Thailand.” 6
- “It just feels like this hotel needs a little love and a bit of a makeover, but it's in a pretty central area and the discount I got through MasterCard plus the overall bonus points all made staying here worth it to me.” 8
Bathroom16 mentions · 1 filmed
- “Finally, marble bathroom with bathtub, shower and Japanese toilet seat. As well as a very rich supply of soaps, bath salts, and a wide selection of personal hygiene products.” 21
- “The bathtub was one of the deepest I have ever seen in all the hotels I have stayed.” 6
- “The toilet was in a separate room to the right of the vanity. It was equipped with a bidet, which was a pleasant surprise, as it is unexpected with toilets in China.” 10
- “The shower included Asprey shampoo, conditioner, and body wash. Although the toiletries were incredibly luxurious, I did not like the single-use bottles.” 10

- “The bathrooms are well kitted out with extras and we found the bathroom TV in our room as well now.” 17
