PEK Hilton or Langham Executive Lounge worth it?
Just planning to book one of them, any input as to who has a better executive club lounge experience? We arrive around 4:30pm, so will need to eat and have some drinks that evening, just relax after a 12 hour flight and leaving for BKK @ 6:40am, so probably should be at airport around 5, so won't be able to enjoy breakfast unfortunately. Is it worth the extra money? I have no elite status with either one.

Never stayed at Langham but have stayed at Hilton many times. Not sure of your travel dates, but the difference between a standard room and exec level looks like it is around 400-450RMB. i guess you would need to consider whether getting a regular room and spending 400RMB in the lounge/restaurant at the hotel might not get you a better bang for your buck. For me the room on the exec level is not significantly better than the regular rooms.
While the lounge offerings are nice, you might come out better paying for dinner and drinks in the restaurant and just get a standard room.

My recollection is that they have quite small plates with about a bite of something tasty. So to make a meal of it you end up with a table full of little plates. There was probably a couple of larger items, but it has been a while so it's hard to recall. Wines and beers, I don't recall whether there was something sparkling or not. Hopefully someone with recent experience can comment.
