I would just go to Sanlitun. Even though I don't really care for Sanlitun any more, it still has a high concentration of restaurants (some of which are good), cheap hotels (e.g. Yo Yo), and isn't so far from the airport.
Other areas to consider:
-Yansha (Marriott NE is a good pick)
-Goulou (especially if you're into hutongs)
-Lido
-Zhongguancun/wudaokou
