Fodor's Expert Review Metropark Lido Hotel

In a leafy northeastern suburb of Beijing lies Lido Place, an enormous commercial and residential complex in which you'll find the Metropark Lido as well as a British-style pub, a Tex-Mex joint, and a buffet restaurant that makes this feel like Anywheresville. While this is a world away from the bustle of "real Beijing," the area's quieter roads and tree-lined streets make it a family-friendly alternative. It's a decent price for a comfortable stay, and especially handy if you want to be closer to the airport.
