A room tour at the Ritz-Carlton Beijing
Cami and Benjamin walk through their room at the Ritz-Carlton Beijing Financial Street. The minibar has espresso, tea and complimentary water, although some items may carry an extra charge. The bathroom is spacious, with his-and-hers sinks, a large bathtub and toiletries. They also point out a large wardrobe, drawers, extra robes, slippers and hangers. A sewing kit and stationery set are among the smaller touches.
The room has electronic controls for the blinds and lighting. Some controls are not immediately intuitive, and the curtain operation gives them trouble. An alarm clock also serves as a fast charger. Their tour focuses on how the room is arranged and on amenities they notice during the stay.
Hotel service and amenities
Cami and Benjamin explain the hotel’s “$2,000 rule,” which allows staff to resolve certain guest issues up to that amount without manager approval. They describe it as a policy that lets staff address problems directly. The couple also mention the hotel’s gym and spa, noting that some areas may be gender-segregated. They briefly show the lobby and point out that guests can access the hotel directly from the mall.
Breakfast is enjoyable, though Cami would have liked a wider range of choices compared with other hotels they have stayed at in China. The couple give a balanced impression: they appreciate the room’s amenities and design while also mentioning the breakfast selection and the less intuitive controls.
