Confirm PEK, not PKX

Beijing has two major airports. Hilton Beijing Capital Airport serves PEK. A flight using PKX is on the opposite side of the city and requires a different hotel and transfer plan.

Confirm the shuttle pickup point

Hilton currently publishes a complimentary 24-hour shuttle serving PEK Terminals 2 and 3. Terminal procedures can change, so contact the hotel for the current pickup instructions before arrival.

Allow time beyond the landing time

International immigration, baggage and terminal walking can make the actual pickup time later than the scheduled landing. Keep your flight number and hotel contact details available offline.

Use an airport hotel for the right reason

For a short connection, airport access may be more valuable than a central location. For a multi-day sightseeing visit, compare the daily city travel with a Dongcheng or Chaoyang hotel.
