Fodor's Expert Review Langham Place, Beijing Capital Airport

Airport hotels have a reputation for dullness—not so with Langham Place, a fun and funky spot next to Terminal 3 that screams style with high-tech guest rooms, luxurious marble bathrooms, and soundproofed floor-to-ceiling windows; the in-house contemporary art gallery and stylish dining options point to this hotel's playful sense of creativity. A pink (and free) shuttle bus will drop you at the airport within minutes, from where you can ride the subway into town. Business travelers are just 10 minutes from the New China International Exhibition Center, but if you want to be near the sights, or among the downtown action, then this is not the one for you.
