Fodor's Expert Review Crowne Plaza Beijing Chaoyang U-Town

Expect modern, good-sized guest rooms, a great pool and gym, a sparkling marble lobby, and many convenient dining and shopping options in the integrated U-Town shopping mall (even a German-themed bar that brews its own beer). The locale, within Chaoyang's commercial district, makes this a popular option with those doing business in the area. Beijing's nightlife district and CBD are both short taxi rides away, but tourists keen on being close to the sights will want to look elsewhere. There's nothing special on offer here, but it does everything you'd expect, and it does it well.
