I am Hilton Diamond so I have free breakfast at hotel, but I may consider skipping breakfast at the hotel and have breakfast at an airport lounge since I will have a lounge access at PEK.
Again, thank you for responses.
I would NOT skip the Hilton breakfast, which, from memory, was pretty darn good, for a far, far worse provision at the airport. Especially since the breakfast is available from pretty early on: I think the executive lounge opens ridiculously early, e.g. 05:30. For a 10:00 departure, if you leave by 07:00, you will get to airport at 08:00 if traffic light-normal, and by 08:30 if traffic very heavy. For peace of mind, just 15 min earlier departure would be in a decent 'comfort zone'.
