Fodor's Expert Review Millennium Hotel

Located south of the city center in the Tongzilin residential district, this hotel faces a slender park that's a great place to watch elderly couples practice tai chi while their grandchildren fly homemade kites. Standard rooms are a bit small, but include TVs with plenty of international satellite channels, fluffy bathrobes, separate marble bathtubs, and high-pressure showers. The Millennium is modern and comfortable, and amenities include an indoor pool (bathing caps strictly enforced), dry sauna, steam room, and a well-equipped fitness facility.
