THE CHICEST HOTEL IN CHINA

Posted on 2009-01-05

Big hotel news at the moment is the new Aman in Beijing, which is Aman’s first foray into China. It is part of the Summer Palace complex and is set to be THE hot hotel for the foreseeable future. Why all the fuss? First off is the killer combination of old and new: trademark Aman understatement, coupled with the unique opportunity to stays in rooms and pavilions dating back over a century. You’ve got every conceivable modern convenience: state of the art business center, a gym, an indoor lap pool, a library, luxury spa, and Ming-dynasty furniture throughout the resort. They have sumptuous rooms set around an imperial courtyard, or splash out on one of the heritage suites. If you want your modern luxuries mixed in with some ancient history, this is the business. But be prepared: you’ll probably be visited by emperors and empresses in your dreams (and possibly the odd Eunuch).
