Aman At Summer Palace, Beijing

Aman At Summer Palace, Beijing

To say the Aman at Summer Palace, Beijing is an example of the Amanresorts group gone urban would be perhaps a bit misleading. This one is technically in a city, which is a departure from the usual Aman setting—whether on the beach in Bali or by the side of a mountain in Wyoming, one thing they a...
China World Hotel, Beijing

China World Hotel, Beijing

Though you’d never guess it from the vaguely institutional name, the China World Hotel is actually a Shangri-La property — with all the luxury trappings that high-end brand entails. Located in the diplomatic precinct, its United Nations-inspired exterior doesn’t promise a whole lot of style, but ...
Commune By The Great Wall Kempinski

Commune By The Great Wall Kempinski

The Commune by the Great Wall Kempinski is most often described as an architectural museum, a design exhibition, an exercise in cutting-edge modernism — architourists travel from all over the world to walk its polished wood and stone halls and admire the work of two dozen of Asia’s leading archit...
Hotel G

Hotel G

If you accept the premise that this is China’s century (and we’re all just living in it) then logically one inescapable conclusion follows: they’re going to need a lot more boutique hotels. This, obviously, is what the Hotel G is for: a new 110-room boutique in the hip-yet-luxurious mode, located...
Red Capital Ranch

Red Capital Ranch

Just as the Red Capital Residence fondly recalls a bygone era of revolutionary Communist kitsch, the Red Capital Ranch, in the countryside outside of Beijing, is an homage to an earlier time. In this case a fantasy that predates the Revolution — this place, currently billing itself as China’s fir...
Shangri-La Hotel, Beijing

Shangri-La Hotel, Beijing

The palatial megahotels of the Far East are renowned for their state-of-the-art facilities and for their almost absurdly high standard of service — the best hotels in Bangkok, Singapore and Hong Kong provide an experience so over-the-top as to make the finest Western hotels look like roadside mot...
The Emperor

The Emperor

With the amount of construction that’s going on in Beijing at the moment we’d probably do well to get used to this sort of thing. For years, nothing — and then, seemingly overnight, a design boutique hotel as contemporary and cutting-edge as any we’ve seen springs up right in the heart of the cit...
The Opposite House

The Opposite House

Though it’s called The Opposite House it’s not as high-concept as it may sound. Not a hotel where down is up, or the flat-screen TVs watch you, but a hotel named for the guest house that sits across from the main house in a traditional Chinese courtyard home. It’s really only ...
The Peninsula Beijing

The Peninsula Beijing

The Palace Hotel, now the Peninsula Palace Beijing, is exactly what one expects from a Peninsula hotel in the Far East. This should not be taken to mean that a stay at the Palace is a predictable experience, in the way that the average chain hotel experience is canned and uninspiring; rather that...
The Regent Beijing

The Regent Beijing

Beijing is placing big bets on the future, with a wealth of high-profile building projects — Herzog & de Meuron’s Olympic Stadium and the Rem Koolhaas-designed CCTV tower, a new mammoth airport terminal by Norman Foster, and many more. And in advance of the expected surge in travel dema...
The Ritz-Carlton Beijing, Financial Street

The Ritz-Carlton Beijing, Financial Street

Most Ritz-Carltons look, from the lobby if not from the street, like something out of Revolutionary France; in 21st-century Beijing that would just be perverse. Here, in a modern glass skyscraper on Beijing’s very sensibly named Financial Street, is a new breed of Ritz-Carlton, one that departs i...
