I'm looking at stopping over in PEK; Hainan has flights that would give me a 16h layover, which should be good to get some shut-eye. I'd arrive at 5am and continue at 9pm. However, the airport's websites are atrocious, and I have a hard time figuring out whether there's an actual airside overnight hourly hotel in terminal 2, and how one might go about reserving/booking it.

I'd like to avoid having to go through immigration if I can help it. (If it can't be helped, then there appear to be a bunch of easy hotel options within the terminal or just outside it.)

It's hard to prove a negative, but if this comprehensive-looking map is to be believed, there are no actual airside hotels. The misleading "Hotel Service" (宾馆预订) is a hotel reservation service, not a hotel.

Floor B1 does feature a "Pay Lounge" (计时休息室), which is the Terminal 2 branch (北京首都机场T2航站楼店) of Chinese hotel chain All Seasons Hotels aka Ji Hotels (全季酒店). Alas, it's in the public area, meaning you'll need to go through immigration to use it. Bookable online via Trip.com, rooms tonight going for CNY 726 as I type this.

With a full 15 hours at your disposal and during the day at that, I'd probably go explore Beijing and book a cheap hotel somewhere near the railway line to the city, but YMMV.

I have only transited through T3 on ITI connections so I cannot answer your question with any kind of authority.

sleepinginairports.net has this to say:

Rest & Relaxation Zones

Several rest areas have been set up for travellers to relax between flights.

Terminal 2

Window Lounge – Relax among the china doll trees in one of six comfy lounge chairs as you watch planes take off and land through a panoramic 10-meter window. This cozy, carpeted area is in T2, airside, between Gates 36 – 39.

[...]

Oasis Lounge – Mobile charging, comfy couches, and TVs are available in this carpeted, green-toned waiting lounge. Location: T2, airside, Transfer Hall on F1.

[...]

Hotels inside Beijing Airport

Hourly Hotel – Inside the terminal are “hourly lounges,” which feature standard rooms with bathrooms. Locations: [...] Terminal 2, International Arrivals, B1, middle of D2 and D3 [...] According to a reviewer in July 2017, the rates were RMB 500 (Terminal 2, 4-6 hours for a single standard with bathroom) • 380RMB (Terminal 2, 4-5 hours for a single standard without bathroom) [...] Showers are 50RMB per person.

GoSleep Pods – The sleeping chair/pod has a cover to block light/noise and storage under the seat to secure personal items. Electronic devices can be recharged inside the unit. Pods can be used for 1 hour or longer. Location: Terminal 2, Airside, near Gate 38

Gate 38 is airside in the international part of the terminal. Please be aware that much of this information might be outdated. Kindly update it (especially sleepinginairports.net) if you have more recent information.
