Great Plat upgrade treatment here: upgrade to a two room suite and lots of nice extra touches by the rooms manager, including making drinks/snacks available to us around 9pm after lounge service was completed, due to late checkin.
Really great responsiveness and attention from the Rooms Manager.
Also, nice that the hotel is located so close to the airport: taxi cost just RMB 56 and took about 23 mins.

love this place for the lounge alone. One of the best 5 in the world I have stayed at. The Grosvenor House in Dubai and this one are really my top 2 for lounges.

Any updates for 2017? Commute times to Zhongguancun?
Any updates in 2017? How does this compare to the Sheraton Dongcheng?
I have a 6 night stay on work with most of the day spent at the Zhongguancun Software Park in Haidian outside the 5th ring in the northwest corner of Beijing.
I have stayed at the Sheraton Dongcheng in the past and found the daily commute bearable. Would staying here make the commute worse or better to Zhongguancun?

The breakfast for elites is in the lounge. It is just ok I'd say. Nothing to kick start your day in style but a few bites that can see you through till lunch. This is my experience from a stay earlier this month.

What did you choose as welcome gift if you don't mind me asking?
I will stay a few days, think breakfast in restaurant should be more worth of it.
Thanks.

For Westin with a club lounge, you can have breakfast in the lounge. You also can choose breakfast in restaurant as welcome gift.

I stayed here recently for 6 nights. Breakfast can be had in the lounge or restaurant for platinum. The restaurant offers a wider selection including local dishes. The lounge offers afternoon tea between 3 and 5pm, dinner between 6-8pm and alcohol between 6-9pm. The afternoon tea food was just ok. Dinner quality varies. The lounge has a nice view and is a great place to hangout regardless. I used SNA and was upgraded to a Executive Renewal suite on the 16th floor. I'd be happy to stay here in the future.

The restaurant/bar would not take my marriott AMEX, but the Chase Bonvoy Visa was accepted. OH, they have some of CNBC shows from US live, including "Sunday" night football on Monday morning!
