3-star hotel rooms and above are always equipped with an air-conditioner, color TV, refrigerator, telephone, double curtain and a private bathroom. Hot and cold water is available 24 hours a day and internet access may be available except in remote areas or
cities like Lhasa. Restaurants, bar and coffee services, banquet halls, conference rooms are available too.
4 or 5-star hotels are luxury properties with spacious, soundproof rooms; large lobbies; health clubs; business centers; 24-hour room service and excellent Chinese and Western food.
