Thanks in advance for any advice.
chaoyang occupies the vast majority of places most tourists venture so simply saying chaoyang isn't very helpful. however, both the penn and the st regis are pretty lousy if moving around quickly is your goal. i much prefer the hotels on the 3rd ring (especially the kempinsky because of the attached shopping center). if i had to choose between the penn and the st regis based solely on convenience, i'd go with the latter.
