The main centers, where are now represented the largest number of high-class hotels in China are mega-cities of Beijing, Shanghai, Hong Kong and Nanjing. Business tourism is now a significant proportion of the total number of visitors coming into the country. Therefore, in the Chinese market actively work hotel chains that represent this segment. Among them are such corporations as Hilton, Hyatt, Accor, Marriott and others. The level of service in the reservation market in China is provided not only by international corporations, but also local companies.

China adheres to the international classification system of hotels. Level of the hotel is determined by the stars. And stars are given not to each hotel in China, but only comfortable.

China still suffers from lack of quality hotels. Hotels in China, which are represented by international networks, are expensive for some tourists, and the level of Chinese hotels is far from perfect. In addition, payment for services in Chinese hotels is often available only in cash ($1 - 8 yuans). Credit cards are accepted basically by network hotels in major cities. The concept of a large city in China means a cosmopolitan city with a population of at least 5 million people.

After China had hosted the 2008 Olympics, many of the sights got modern hotels. Hotels near the Great Wall, hotels in such tourist centers as Guilin, hotels in the area of the Zhangjiajie Nature Reserve today receive the main stream of tourists in China.
