Five Things To Consider About Beijing Hotels

I know many of us are soon headed to Beijing thanks to American's awesome ~$450 business class mistake fare, which they're honoring.

If you're anything like me, that means you have a few sets of hotels to book. ;)

I've been to Beijing a few times before, so originally I was going to write a post about where to stay in Beijing.

And then I realized that Beijing has over 5,000 hotels on TripAdvisor.

To put that into perspective, New York has about 500 hotels, Tokyo about 800 hotels, and London about 1,000 hotels. So ain't nobody got time to read (or for that matter, write) a comprehensive post about Beijing hotel options.

9 signs you're Chinese-American

Your mom drove a Lexus RX300. If she didn’t, she knew some other Chinese school mom who drove one and secretly hated her guts. You might be able to cop a fake LV bag, but there’s no such thing as a bootleg Lexus.
