北京继2008年举办夏季奥运会之后，前不久申办2024年冬季奥运会成功，成为第一个承办冬、夏两会的城市。2008年奥运会给北京提供了修建世界级酒店的机会，掀成一股建设热潮。从那以后，建设步伐并未明显放慢。尽管中国最近经济放缓，但是冬奥会前，就已经计划要筹建更多的酒店。想要了解更多具体的情况吗?大家可以阅读一下下面的文章：

　　There were 68 five-star hotels and a 130 four-star hotels in Beijing at the end of 2014,according to the Beijing Tourism Administration. While skiing competitions will take place inZhangjiakou, about three hours away, new developments are likely to remain in the center oftown.

　　据北京市旅游发展委员会(Beijing Tourism Administration)的统计，截至2014年年底，北京有68家五星级酒店和130家四星级酒店。虽然滑雪赛事将在张家口举行，那里离北京有三小时车程，但新的酒店建设项目仍主要集中在北京市中心。

　　Bobby Zur, the founder of Travel Artistry, a travel consultancy based in Franklin Lakes, N.J.,and an authority on Beijing properties, said there is a huge premium for hotels built in thecenter of town. “The traffic is so horrendous in the city, and getting around isn’t easy, so thehotels dine themselves by what district they are in and what they are close to,” he said.

　　Travel Artistry是新泽西州富兰克林湖的一家旅游咨询公司。其创始人鲍比·祖尔(Bobby Zur)是熟悉北京地产的权威人士。他说，酒店建在市中心有个很大的优势。“北京的交通很糟糕，去哪儿都不容易，所以酒店都宣扬自己在哪个地区，离哪些地方近，”他说。
