Westin Beijing Financial Street

[Starwood Lurker AP]

Dear members,

Greetings from the Starwood Lurker. I believe some of the members over here heard of my name at the other travel forum.

A colleague of mine at the Westin Beijing Financial Street would like to collate comments about the property and at the same time, share some info on the activities taking place at the property itself.

So feel free to post your comments after your recent stay at the property.

Meanwhile, I am going to share a link on the Olympic games where a charity event has been held at the property as well.

Usain Bolt, the Triple gold winner, triple world record holder and flag-waving runner of the year visited the property for the event.

Nice to have you here, Starwood Lurker AP, welcome!

Some nice promos you have going on recently for the other forum. I have yet to visit Beijing but will keep the Westin under consideration when I'm there. Nice work there with Usain also!

Was a regular visitor to that property probably stayed there over 3 month accumulatively within last year alone.

It is a good property with a very reasonable price. The only downside is the location, as financial street is still not fully developed. The eatery around the Seasons Place (very high end shopping centre opposite westin) is limited, and very western oriented. They have Friday, KFC, Pizza Hut, Star Bucks etc

Also because most attractions are on the eastern side of the beijing, where financial st is on the west, it is quite far from most activities. Some time you may also have trouble with Taxi driver don't know the hotel location, but normally you can fix that by tell the taxi driver to goto the China Life building which is also across the hotel.

If anyone ever stay there, try the Sunday brunch ... its a killer of an event ...

I believe there is a new Westin in Beijing opened just before Olympics, but yet to try it out ...

Hi everyone,

My colleague over at the property would like to introduce "The inspiRED Sunday Bubbly Brunch."

The inspiRED Sunday Bubbly Brunch will see guests arrive through a red corridor filled with brightly colored red balloons and red gobo lights. Once inside guests will be treated to a sea of red decorations in and around an even more extensive buffet featuring gastronomic delights from all over the world to surprise.

With an even larger buffet the innovative food stations span both Senses and Prego taking you on a gastronomic journey around the world. Meander around countless food stations with caviar, fresh seafood, made to order pasta and noodle soups, warm pastries, decadent desserts, teppanyaki ice cream, salmon tartare, vast international cheeses, traditional Beijing duck and a sushi and sashimi station featuring delicate hand rolls.

Should you tire of wandering this enormous feast, the Westin chefs are on hand to ‘pass around’ giant strawberry mille feuille’s, giant grilled boerewurst, whole roasted lamb racks, grilled seafood and woodfired pizza’s. All brought right to your table for you to try for a truly decadent culinary journey.
