The range of accommodation choices in Beijing are now so vast that no hotel can claim to be the absolute best,but if a choice had to be made,it would be the Peninsula.Many in-room features-free wireless Internet,42-inch plasma screen TVs,and silent,direct-line fax machines-are simply unavailable elsewhere.Most international hotel management agencies are forced to work with Chinese parent companies,which typically hold the majority stake and are interested in squeezing their properties,rather than investing in staff training or renovations.The Peninsula is owned by its parent company,and it shows,A 4-year renovation program was completed in March 2005,and no corner of the hotel was left untouched.Service is impeccable,and helpful touches abound:Braille on all signs:a user-friendly bedside control panel which displays the outside temperature and humidity;and tri-level mood lighting.In the exclusive shopping arcade is Jing,one of the city's best fusion restaurants.
