Astor Hotel Description

China’s oldest international hotel, the Astor looks the part and has the heritage to boot: past guests include Sun Yat sen, Herbert Hoover and Zhou Enlai, while the hotel even served as a base for endangered expats during the Boxer Rebellion (1899-1901). Restored to its former glory a few years back, the hotel now features 152 well-appointed rooms: choose between modern elegance and Victorian style.
