Beijing, China

The hotel is situated in the heart of Beijing at Sanlitun Village.
The gym is fully equipped with free weights and Technogym equipment. 22-meter stainless swimming pool offers a different experience – a dramatic interaction of light and metal as guests glide through the water. To recharge and rejuvenate there are spa treatments and the steam room.
The ground floor of the hotel presents itself as the contemporary gallery. Its well-regarded sculpture collection inspired by the textile-clad facade of the architecture represent ten of the Chinese artists of the moment from Beijing, Hong Kong, Australia and London.
The Hotel is the central feature of the city’s most captivating and innovative development, Sanlitun Village.

For those more private occasions the hotel offers five individually designed, exclusive dining rooms. Here guests can have a dedicated host and their own team of private servers, who will tailor the experience to client’s needs, including the entertainment, lighting and music (either tune to one of the restaurants or plug in iPod).
