Ideally located in the midst of Beijing’s diplomatic and business district, a heartbeat away from world-class shopping and unique historical attractions, the 716- room China World Hotel, one of the luxury landmark properties of Shangri-La Hotels and Resorts in China, is the leading address for distinguished business, government leaders and discerning travellers visiting the Chinese capital. Fully renovated in 2003, the award-winning hotel with its highly acclaimed restaurants, extensive recreation and fitness facilities and one of the largest conferences and meetings venues in the city, stands tall over the majestic China World Trade Center complex fronting Beijing's prestigious Change An avenue. The complex houses the world's most recognisable designer brands in the China World shopping mall and is flanked by two soaring office towers, including the China World Exhibition Hall.
