Top hotels in Chongwen
New World Beijing Hotel
Stuff really great, the breakfast very varied and plentiful. The lounge on the 10th floor was really useful as a resting place although our room was very large and comfortable. The whole property is very clean and would certainly stay here again.

Sunworld Hotel Beijing Wangfujing
The hotel was clean and the staff was friendly. It is also close to all of the touristy sites. The elevators were very, very slow and breakfast was quite busy. One morning, although there were 3 coffee machines and a barrista stand, none of them were working. Only regular coffee was available.
