Friendship Hotel Youyi Binguan 友谊宾馆 is a state-run hotel in Beijing that specializes in hosting guests from abroad. It was built in 1954 to house Soviet "foreign experts," and modelled on the Soviet Druzba Hotel in Moscow. It is named in parallel to the Friendship Stores that sold to those with hard currency. The hotel was known for long-term residents such as Anna Louise Strong, Ruth Weiss, Frank Coe, and Solomon Adler.
