It would help if you explained what factors are important for you.
Location, size of room, service, facilities etc.

Sorry, I should have mentioned that.

Important factors are 1. Location (closeness to restaurants, shopping and
nice hangout places), 2. Quality of hotel room 3. Service

The Shangri-La is wonderful, but far from restaurants
and shopping. The only plus is that it is near the
Summer Palace, and the zoo. It's a very long taxi ride
to the center of town, or you can walk 30 minutes to the
Xizhimen subway station (which will be faster than a cab
at most times, Beijing traffic is horrible).

The New World Courtyard is the most central. The other
three hotels are not in good locations. Second choice
would be the Marco Polo.

Personally I wouldn't choose any of these hotels, but I
understand that you're limited to these four.
