Marco Polo Parkside is located in Chaoyang District, and offers excellent facilities and services to guests lodging here.

Marble entranceways lead the way to plush carpets, generous-sized bathrooms with separate shower units, and chic dark wood furniture. Even the decor is slick, with chocolate brown textured velour bed throws and subtle silk-screens. In the deluxe rooms, an almond-shaped bathtub sits next to a huge glass window marking the boundary between the bedroom and the bathroom. Get a room facing the west to see the National Stadium just visible beyond the neighboring high-rises. The staff is overeagerthough, still a little unsure of themselves.
