Gourmet dining above an indoor pool and spa
About this hotel
Three gourmet restaurants set a higher bar for dining than many hotels on this list manage, paired with an indoor pool and spa that give the property a genuine wellness angle rather than a purely functional one. Free parking and free Wi-Fi are included, and the warm, contemporary rooms and suites lean toward a more residential feel than the glass-tower style common closer to Xinjiekou. Kid-friendly touches and a smoke-free policy broaden the appeal, and the fitness centre and bar round out a stay aimed at travelers who want to spend an evening in rather than heading out, treating the hotel itself as the destination for a night rather than a base for sightseeing elsewhere.

Our take
This suits travelers prioritising dining and spa time over old-town proximity, with the indoor pool best used in the evening after one of the three gourmet restaurants closes its kitchen for the night. The spa adds real value for a longer, more restful stay. Anyone needing quick airport access or a central old-town location should weigh the roughly 53-minute taxi ride carefully before booking a room here.
- ✓Book one of the three gourmet restaurants ahead on weekends, they draw guests from outside the hotel as well.
- ✓Pair the spa with an evening swim rather than treating them as separate visits, the two floors sit close together.
- ✓Plan extra time for airport transfers, the roughly 53-minute taxi ride is longer than most hotels on this list.

Why guests love itWe spent most evenings between the spa and one of the three restaurants, which made for a genuinely relaxing few days rather than a typical business stop. The indoor pool was a nice way to start the evening before dinner, though we did factor in extra time for the longer airport transfer on our way out, which was worth planning for given how far the property sits from the airport itself.
