From a
fengshui perspective, the recently opened Wuzhou is unbeatable. It lies close to the north-south axis that runs through the Forbidden City. Far from the expatriate ghettos, the surrounding area has considerable appeal: Yayun Cun is a (relatively) pedestrian-friendly residential area with some of Beijing's best Chinese restaurants. Within the striking white edifice, you'll find a very North American brand of luxury:
USA Today delivered to your door and the inevitable Brazilian restaurant. It's all comfortable enough, but we find it a bit bland. Little luxuries are lacking, and service can be indifferent. It's worth upgrading to a "luxury"
(haohua) room, as bathrooms in the "superior"
(gaoji) rooms are a bit poky.
