A new generation of Chinese managed hotels is the cornerstone of a
highly developed, traveler-friendly tourism infrastructure. China
now has a complete range of hotel choices in all price categories,
from luxurious five-star suites to deluxe mid-priced hotels and clean,
comfortable rooms even in the budget category. Today, every major
city in China can provide discriminating travelers with a wide selection
of modern,
world-class properties that meet, and often exceed, international
standards. Hotels such as the famous Peace Hotel (on the Bund) in
Shanghai, the Palace Hotel in Beijing (close to the Forbidden City),
and the White Swan in Guangzhou have gained international reputations
for their exquisite decor, international gourmet dining, and first-class
service. Familiar chains such as Sheraton, Holiday Inn, Hyatt, Hilton,
and Ramada now operate deluxe hotels throughout China as well. Business
travelers note that China has come a long way even since the early
1990's in terms of 16 service, management, and facilities.
All 4 &
5-star hotels have complete business centers with
computer and secretarial
services available.
