Luxury in Beijing with a custom made first class service
Pros: It was our second stay at the Peninsula and it was even better than the first time. The quality of services is amazing and people are really caring and taking care of your wishes with a smile and full politeness.
Their Mediterranean restaurant is excellent as well as the Lobby for tea time. The room is extremely nice and has full facilities, nespresso machine, mini bar, tea facilities , dressing room, and big bathroom with both shower and bath and two sinks. All is controlled via a kind of iPad which works great! I love also their concierge box. It is extremely central and situated in a luxury small shopping center.
Cons: A little bemol for the in room breakfast where the choice of bread could be improved.
