Fodor's Review:

This lovely hotel on the north side of Chang'an Avenue blends the traditions of China's past with modern comforts and technology. It's worth it to book the room with the Forbidden City view. The Red Wall Café, Ming Yuan dining room, Rong Yuan Restaurant, and Old Peking Grill provide a range of cuisines, from Chinese to European. The Grand is convenient to the Forbidden City, Tiananmen Square, and the Imperial Wall Ruins Park, but its service and Western food aren't as up-to-snuff as some other überfancy foreign-managed hotels. Even if you don't stay here, visit the rooftop terrace and toast the yellow roofs of the Forbidden City with your sunset drink. The terrace is open only from May through October, from 5 PM to 9:30 PM.
