The Beijing Tourism Administration has revoked the stars of 26 hotels in Beijing because of old equipment, serious facility damage, bad service and inefficient safety management.

Of the 26 hotels, 9 are three-star hotels, including Huabei Hotel, Longtan Hotel, and Gongti Hotel in Chaoyang District and Beijing Cui Ming Zhuang Hotel in Dongcheng District, and 15 are 2-star hotels, including Qianmen Xin Xin Hotel, Tiantan Haoyuan Hotel, Longshan Hotel and Guanghua Hotel. Two one-star hotels–Phoenix Villa and Yuyuan Conference Center–have also seen their qualifications revoked.

A representative from BTA has told local media that these hotels have failed to meet their respective qualification standards for a variety of reasons.

In addition, BTA has issued verbal warnings to 11 hotels that have service problems. These include three 4-star hotels (Fulaigong Hotspring Resort, Zhongyu Century Hotel and Jintai Bohai Hotel) and eight 3-star hotels (Hubei Plaza, Haite Hotel and Beiyuan Hotel).

Seven other hotels have been criticized for bad management, poor service and weak sanitation.
