Friendship Hotel Review

The name is telling, as the hotel was built in 1954 to house foreigners, mostly Soviets, who had come to help rebuild the nation. This is one of the largest garden-style hotels in Asia. The architecture is traditional Chinese, and the public spaces are classic and elegant. Rooms are large, but they are filled with somewhat outdated furnishings. With 14 restaurants, an Olympic-size pool, and a driving range, the hotel aims to be a one-stop destination. Its location far from the main tourist trail means that it's better situated for people who need to be close to the university area.
