DUH,did I mention I'm blonde? We stayed in Beijing 10 years ago and stayed for 2 weeks at the Palace Hotel which I believe is now the Peninsula Palace Hotel. Since we were there for so long a time (our son was working in Beijing then) we were upgraded to a Duplex Suite on the top floor. You can walk to Tiennamen Sq. from there. The hotel is beautiful and the restraunts were nice,but it was a long time ago. I don't think you will be sorry to be staying there.
Have a wonderful time.
