- What was good and what was bad?

GOOD

• Warm welcome by Guests experience manager
• Very convenient to visit the area around the Forbidden City
• Very pleasant club lounge with attentive service and elegant atmosphere .
• Excellent breakfast at main restaurant
• Superb spa with impressive - largest private one in Beijing - 25-meter indoor swimming pool (love the quiet atmosphere of the spa area thanks to a brillant architecture with subdued light and birds chirping).
• Simply love the secret superb garden of the spa, a true real luxury in a noisy and busy city (which is the privilege of only a few hotels, such as the Bvlgari Beijing): in the morning, you can lie back on a deckchair in the sunshine and read a book in the midst of nature, in a rare calm.

BAD
Nothing.

- Value for $ or IHG One Rewards Points? Would you return?
The hotel is great to experience a peaceful and elegant stay in Beijing. Service is attentive and professional (but most member of staff surprisingly speak very poorly English).
