I think I can add a little to this thread:
Second stay this year for myself coming up at the Hilton Capital Airport.
First stay was great, as Gold got upgraded to a full suite (2 rooms and 2 toilets
) - lounge access, which was awesome (happy hour from 6pm to 8.30pm)
The "QiQi" lady that was mentioned earlier got replaced by "Candy" Her English is fine too, and the lounge was a great spot to spend time.
The pool is very nice indeed, 25m long, and NO silly "need to wear head cap" rule like in most other Hilton properties in China..
The gym is also of good quality.
The only "downside" of the hotel is that it's kinda deserted. Yes, the airport is nearby, but it's not IN the airport itself. 7min walk from T3 (if light luggage only) or regular bus schedule every 20min from T3, every 30min from T2.
Looking forward for my next stay soon there, definitely a good deal if you can actually use the facilities (in my case, arriving 4pm and departing 10am, just perfect). Not cheaper than the hotels in town though.

To answer my own question, I emailed the hotel and got a prompt, courteous, professional (impressive) reply. The cost is CNY200, and the fitness center is open from 6:00AM until 11:00PM. Fitness center use is included in the Day Use room rate.

Actually, the gym (but not the pool) is open 24/7 for hotel guests.

Is wine/beer self serve in the lounge? Or hidden away for only staff to serve? Hate always having to wait for a server. Do some rooms have better runway views than others?

2. I don't recall having any runway views (it's about 3 miles from the closest runway)

The best rooms that will give you some airplanes to spectate is top floor, "rear side". The absolutely best one to watch airplanes is the corner suite at the very end of the corridor. However, it's not direct runway view, but merely airport traffic.. nothing very interesting..

Just had an overnight at this property. I have no status. I was very impressed by the quality of ALL personnel. The hotel was fairly busy although its expansive layout gives the impression that it is not. Breakfast buffet was ok as far as hotels go, although I felt it was overly expensive. Mind you, I had excellent croissants, something that none of the Accor properties I stayed in on this trip were able to provide. It was a good experience and I don't mind paying the relatively high rate that I did because I received decent value. My only two complaints were the darkness of the room (common in China because of energy conservation efforts) and the small toilet cubicle. It's a bit cramped in the toilet stall. Very appreciative of the 4 bottles of water given in the room and the extra 1 1/2 hours to check out, no hassles. Well managed airport hotel that was clean and well maintained.

On my overnight, I agree with Transpacific Flyer: pretty expensive - comparable to Wangfujin - but very good service, though not over-the-top, like some places in the capital.

I was impressed by the excellent quality of this hotel.
Check In
Fast, efficient, polite and pleasant.
Room
A bit dark, but clean and spacious.
Service
Excellent and friendly.
Dining
I was impressed by the quality of the restaurant and the breakfast menu was fantastic. The pastry & coffee shop in the lobby offers cakes and pastries that are works of art.
Location
Convenient and close to the airport. One can walk to the terminal if not carrying a heavy bag.
Overall
I have not had a more enjoyable airport hotel experience. A well managed, and well staffed hotel. The only negative comment I have is on the shuttle bus service. Arriving in the evening, it took a good 30 minutes to get a bus. I did not know how close the hotel was, otherwise I would have walked. Despite that, this was a fantastic transit experience and offered good value. I left very impressed and would transit PEK in future only because of this hotel..\

Is anyone aware of this hotel having a half day rate? I am considering booking an award that arrives at 10:30pm and departs the next morning at 6:30am. The lounges on offer at PEK don't seem too inspiring from some brief googling.
