"Formerly the Grace Beijing. Grace Art Hotel is not particularly close to any of the traditional sights of Beijing , but it’s a great choice for those who've already seen the main attractions. This boutique hotel is located near the funky 798 Art Zone. The graffiti-festooned, Bauhaus-influenced factory zone was an artist enclave for the likes of Ai Weiwei and other modern Chinese artists. New galleries are still pushing the creative frontiers of the Chinese art scene. The Grace Art Hotel is located in a renovated former crystal factory, with stark red bricks dominating the front. The interior, however, is eclectic and modern, filled with abstract artwork and stunning design. A stay in any of the rooms will put guests in a creative mindset."

"The Swire Hotels group has infused the business hotel concept with a jolt of hipness. East is located in the Lido neighborhood on the fringe of northeast 4th Ring Road, removed from some of the hustle and bustle of Beijing ’s center. In spite of this setting, the location is nonetheless convenient; the hotel is just a short taxi ride from the airport, and the adjacent Indigo mall offers most of the amenities a traveler could want. A subway stop just outside of East facilitates trips to the city center. The 798 Art Zone, a ten-minute cab ride away, provides a sprawling maze of cafés, galleries, and avant-garde installations."
