Zhaolong Hotel, hotel in Beijing, China
Zhaolong Hotel is a mid-range hotel in Sanlitun, one of Beijing's busiest commercial and diplomatic districts. The property is a multi-story building with standard rooms and common facilities, located within walking distance of embassies, shopping centers and restaurants.
The hotel opened in the 1980s, when Sanlitun was still primarily an embassy district with few commercial venues. Over the following decades, the neighborhood changed significantly as bars, clubs and shopping centers moved in, making it one of Beijing's most visited areas.
Sanlitun is known as one of Beijing's main areas for nightlife, shopping and dining, and the hotel sits at the center of this activity. The streets nearby fill up in the evening with people heading to bars, restaurants and open-air shopping areas.
The hotel is close to Tuanjiehu subway station, which gives easy access to central Beijing and major sights. The surrounding streets are busy in the evening, so guests who prefer a quieter arrival are better off checking in during the afternoon.
Because of its location in the embassy district, the hotel was a common meeting point for foreign journalists and diplomats during the 1990s. That international crowd shaped the character of the place in a way that still sets it apart from hotels in more tourist-focused areas of the city.
