Four Seasons Hotel Beijing

Four Seasons Hotel Beijing was clearly designed to impress. All of the guest room corridors overlook a 20-story inner atrium, with an astonishing wall of 400 stainless-steel butterflies from Australian artist Jayne Dyer stretching up to the sky. Deluxe rooms come in at 495 square feet, and are elegantly attired and furnished with state-of-the-art technology, bathtubs with city views and clever architecture that seems to maximize living space. Dining is one of the hotel’s strong suits; its signature restaurants, Mio and Cai Yi Xuan spout elegant takes on Italian and Chinese cuisine, respectively. The Spa at Four Seasons Hotel Beijing is one of the most impressive in town, with 11 suites and a book-sized menu of wellness treatments. It even has its own restaurant, Tea Garden, serving high-grade Chinese teas gong-fu style, paired with dainty imperial Chinese snacks.
