St. Regis Beijing (Beijing Guoji Julebu Fandian)

It was once the best hotel in town, but the St. Regis no longer stands out as the front-runner with so many new five-star hotels vying for attention. Still, rooms are homey and comfortable, with Chinese touches, modern Bose speakers, big flatscreen televisions, and DVD players. Beds are plush and feature high-thread-count sheets, and bathrooms have been made fancy with white marble. One unique touch is the complimentary tea and coffee service, offered throughout the day and brought by a butler in coattails. Service is professional and unobtrusive. The health club and pool is popular with expatriates, as is the Sunday Champagne brunch. The central location, near embassies, the CBD (Central Business District), and the Forbidden City, makes this a good choice for business and leisure travelers alike.

Facilities: 5 restaurants; bar; billiards room; butler service; cigar and wine-tasting rooms; concierge; forex; well-equipped exercise room; gorgeous indoor pool (25m/82 ft.); putting green and driving area; room service; smoke-free rooms; spa; squash courts
