The hotel is modern - and I like modern. But it didn't quite work f0r me.
The room was really, really hot - and I was told this was winter so the heat was on and there was no way to control it other than to open the window - and they recommended this was not left open (there was a balcony or something all the way round the hotel where my room was).
The design was "funky" but I would in some ways prefer "functional". eg a room that wasn't heated to around 80 F overnight. Everything else worked pretty well and the staff were friendly and helpful. I was only there for one night so didn't get to explore the neighbourhood.
I have previously stayed at the Peninsula in Beijing and this was a real let down - I would rate the Hotel G over the Peninsula any day - but if you chose the G don't expect the full international hotel offering in terms of food and room service etc.
