After reading through the various threads on Beijing hotels (Peninsula, Raffles, Ritz-Carlton, St. Regis) and looking at the properties mentioned, I must say that none of them really seems outstanding (I know how snobbish that sounds...)

I have an upcoming weekend in Beijing (tourist visit) in May and it seems that - with the MO unfortunately gone - the new Park Hyatt and the Aman at Summer Palace would be the two places closest to my personal taste. The PH bears the risk that it has just been opened. Any reviews on those two or other recommendations?

Any input is greatly appreciated.
