LUXE Loves is the regular feature where we spotlight our all-time favourite places in the world. From spiff boutique stays to the finest diners, dapper drinkers and swooniest shops… welcome to the crème of our curated cohort.
What:
Rosewood Beijing
Where:
Smack bang in bustling Chaoyang
Why we love it:
She may have been fashionable late to the Sino scene, but the Rosewood’s first foray into mainland China has fast found her way into our curated list of fave stays thanks to a sophisticatedly svelte design aesthetic, top-notch attention to detail and stellar on-site sup spots.
Nestled behind a tree-lined entrance amid Beijing’s action-packed Chaoyang district, this heritage-chic retreat sparkles with Oriental charm. Spacious suites kitted with eastern objets d’art, sleek dark woods and luxurious marble tubs offer the ideal antidote to the gritty city scenes beyond.
Or, if you need more leg-room than a your bathroom’s jacuzzi-sized soaker will afford, bob over to the serene green pool, which spans a sensational 830sqm beneath a conservatory-like glass roof.
And, when evening rolls around, totter straight over to resident Bistro B for tantalising contempo Gallic bites, or regional Country Kitchen serves up Northern Chinese flavours in a swish granite and terracotta-hued salon. Plus there’s dapper leather n’ brick imbiber Mei Bar for post-prandial ‘tails and whiskies. A-Mao-zing!
