What is the name of Liuguo Hotel now?

In the eyes of many young people, the Liuguo Hotel at that time was just a foreign-related hotel. Yes, the Six Nations Hotel opened by the British and the Beijing Hotel opened by the French were the two most upscale hotels in the capital at that time. They brought Western bread, coffee, steak, and a complete set of dining etiquette to the Beijing people for the first time: snow-white How to stack napkins, how to use knives and forks, and how to make as little chewing noises as possible during meals, including the gentlemanly rule that ladies come first in everything. According to Zhu Jiaxin in the preface of "Lao Tao Man Bi", the Western food factions in old Beijing include English, French, Russian and German. The most authentic British and French ones are the Liuguo Hotel and the Beijing Hotel, which do not accommodate the habits of the Chinese people at all. Other second- and third-rate Western restaurants follow local customs, and most of the dishes in these restaurants are named British or French, which is unreliable. British people like fried potato chips, so many fried chicken and fish dipped in bread crumbs are called British style, and some dish names are based on fiction.

Liuguo Hotel was built as a supporting facility in the embassy area. Compared with the surrounding low buildings, the four-story building looks tall and majestic. Li Dianzhi, who used to pull a rickshaw near Qianmen before liberation, recalled that the Liuguo Hotel at that time was a higher level than the current five-star hotel, and it was a place where foreigners and celebrities went. It was originally used to receive the Eight-Nation Allied Forces. The house is very beautiful, a Western-style building, with Western-style guardrails on the edge of the roof, gorgeous and Western style, and a small curved balcony. At that time, ministers, officials and upper-class people from various countries often stayed, ate, and had entertainment at the Liuguo Hotel, forming a gathering place for dignitaries.

After liberation, the "Liuguo Hotel", which was famous at home and abroad in the past, was converted into Huafeng Hotel (formerly the Guest House of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs), which is now a three-star foreign-related hotel.

It has been more than a hundred years. The Six Nations Hotel was built by the British in 1900 as a four-story building. The Six Nations Hotel was mainly used by ministers, officials and upper-class people from various countries at that time to stay, dine and entertain here, forming a gathering place for dignitaries. In addition, some military and political figures who stepped down at that time often came here to take refuge. Many major historical events in old Beijing are related in one way or another to this place. In April 1949, the Communist Party of China, which had entered Peiping, welcomed the peace talks delegation of the Kuomintang government headed by Zhang Zhizhong here. At present, the Liuguo Hotel has been renamed "Huafeng Hotel".
