Chinese Hotels
After arriving in China, the guests will be taken to the hotel by their Chinese hosts. The hotel is usually reserved in advance. Before check-in, the receptionist will greet the guest and ask questions on reservation information. Once the reservation is confirmed, the guest is asked whether there is any preference of the room facilities, such as double or single bed, smoking or non-smoking. At present, big cities such as Beijing and Shanghai have banned smoking in public areas. Hotel lobby is one of them. Normally, service facilities in hotels of three star or above include in-room TVs, telephones, restaurants (Chinese or West), communication services and bars. The total hotel bill usually includes 10% to 15% service charge. Nowadays, a good number of high-ranking hotels in China are joint-ventures.
