Soon the citizens of Beijing might be able to smell the Four Points signature apple pie scents wafting through their very own Four Points Hotel. The hotel is set for opening on August 1, just in time for the Olympics.

Unlike other Four Points near airports in America, this one seems to be in the midst of all that is "happening" in Beijing:

Our hotel is located in the heart of Beijing’s technology district – Haidian District – a short drive from major government and business organizations, research centers, Zhongguancun Science and Technology Park, and universities. The Summer Palace, the Great Wall of China, and the Olympic Stadium “Bird’s Nest”, among other popular sightseeing attractions, are all within easy access.

The hotel also has three restaurants--a 24-hour cafe, an Italian restaurant and a Chinese restaurant--along with an indoor pool. And is it just us or does that building look like Aloft?

As for rooms, there are 355 guestrooms and suites and 177 serviced apartments in this hotel. But we say if you are looking to high-roll get a room on the 12th floor where the Executive Rooms and Suites are. These rooms come with access to the Lounge where you can get a continental breakfast in the morning and drinks in the evening.

We looked for a room after the Olympics to get a truer sense of the room rate and found one for about 800 CNY a night which is a cheap $117 USD. An executive room was $168. Sweet.

As for rooms during the Olympics, Starwood is directing guests who are interested in staying at the hotel to this site where you enter in your information and a hotel rep contacts you back with your lodging options. Let us know if you try this.
