Looking at staying at the Marco Polo Beijing for our trip there in July/August. There is a good rate, at $110 plus 15% for a club room. Has any one experienced this hotel- the location seems good.

I have stayed at the Marco Polo Hong Kong, and Marco Polo Gateway, and was happy enough for the low rates I got at both at the time.

Other options for Beijing are Grand Hyatt, which friends have been pleased with, or Visa Platinum special at the Penn Palace (though that is double the rate of the MPB).
