BEIJING -- Beijing Olympic organizers have unveiled  132 official reception hotels for next year's Games.

The Beijing Organizing Committee for the Olympic Games (BOCOG) said Friday 120 contracted hotels are in Beijing, among which 38 are five-star hotels, 45 are four-star, 22 are three-star and 15 are not yet star-rated. The hotels supplied about 30,000 rooms in total.

The BOCOG said the average room rate for a double room in a five-star hotel is 2,799 yuan ($383), and 2,155 yuan ($295) in a four-star hotel.

The other 12 official reception hotels are in six co-host cities, including Hong Kong, Shenyang, Tianjin, Qingdao, Qinhuangdao, and Shanghai.

In 2007, more than 40 designated hotels hosted more than 8,000 athletes, officials and media staff during the 26 "Good Luck Beijing" events, which aimed to give a comprehensive test to the organization of the Games.
