Tianxiang Courtyard-Hotel Beijing - Beijing, China     

On previous trips to Beijing, I have always stayed in the typical big brand hotels. They were nice but varied little from city to city. Earlier this year, I saw a photograph on the Tianxiang Courtyard hotel on an airline website & thought it looked like culture and accommodation in a package. Arriving for my first stay at this hotel in early March, I was not disappointed. I returned within a week with my family! We loved the atmosphere of the hotel. The proximity to all the famous sites was a bonus. An underground train station is no more than 5 mins walk away so getting around was easy and economical. There are many restaurants in the area and some are very good. And the staff at the hotel...they were very helpful and cheerful. We will be back!
