CHINA In the Heart of China's Capital .jpg "marcopolohotel_(Small).jpg") China is the cultural treasure-house of East Asia: its social riches and 5000 years of tumultuous history place it, without doubt, among the world's greatest travel destinations. China has one of the world's oldest continuous civilisations. The Great Wall, X'ian's Terracotta Army, the Forbidden Palace and Tiananmen Square: the very names reverberate with history and legend. China's paradoxes are many: Shanghai's skyscrapers contrast with Beijing's historical treasures, while in rural provinces, mechanisation is slow. This is not simply due to its sheer enormity and population of over one billion. Such complex history and politics are worrying, but, for some, infuse the landscape with greater allure. And what a landscape it has – this is the land of the Yangtze River, the Silk Route and the bamboo forests of the panda, bringing the vistas of rivers and misty peaks in traditional ink paintings to life. China justifiably holds 23 UNESCO World Heritage Sites within its borders. Even Chinese food ranks among the world's great cuisines. From acrobatics to martial arts, calligraphy to Chinese opera, the vibrant, distinctive culture of this great land is everywhere to be seen. The Marco Polo, Beijing is a luxury hotel located in the Xidan commercial and shopping area of Beijing. Conveniently close to the capital's landmark Tian'anmen Square and the Forbidden City, The Marco Polo, Beijing is also within easy access of many other Beijing attractions, and just steps away from the hotel is Beijing's easy transportation system. All the hotel rooms and suites at The Marco Polo, Beijing offer attractive garden or city views, with many overlooking the Forbidden City. The ideal Beijing hotel for both business and leisure travelers, The Marco Polo, Beijing offers 296 rooms and suites, including 42 Continental Club rooms and suites on the top floor of the hotel, providing exceptional accommodations and personalized service. For your next Beijing event, The Marco Polo, Beijing offers an outstanding choice of venues, including the impressive Marco Polo Ballroom. The hotel's dedicated banquet team are always available to assist with the planning to ensure your meeting, conference, or banquet is a great success. The Marco Polo, Beijing's recipe for success lies in the versatility and quality of the hotel's two restaurants, with the Cafe Marco serving a wide range of international cuisines from both the ?la carte menu and the international buffet. Hotel guests can also savor classic Cantonese cuisine in The Marco Polo, Beijing's stylish Chinese restaurant, Fortune Garden. The hotel's leisure facilities are among the best in Beijing, comprising a fully equipped Fitness Center and heated indoor swimming pool. The grandeur and uniqueness of Beijing will likely evoke emotions in you, perhaps similar to those of Marco Polo himself, but you, as guests of the hotel, have the very pleasurable advantage, however, of returning to the luxury, attentive hotel service and comfort of the legendary Marco Polo, Beijing.
