The Palace Hotel, Beijing
April 23rd through April 25th 2001
The Lobby
The Gathering Place
Our group gathered near the front doors each morning for our Beijing area tours.
Located in the middle of downtown Beijing, the Palace Hotel is a good place from which to begin day trips.

The Lobby is an Attraction
There are so many things to notice in the lobby. The archway of the grand stairway dominates the area while escalators, which move people to the shopping areas on the lower levels, flank a central waterfall. If these weren't enough to keep your attention, the grand stairway lower landings are flanked with marble replica's of the emperor's horses!

Owen Tyler poses with one of the Emperor's Horses, which flanked each of the two sides of the grand stairway. An identical staircase graces the left side of the lobby.
If you need to pick up a trinket or two, Cartier will be happy to help.
