Designed by New York-based Alexandra Champalimaud & Associates, the renovated property combines European style with distinct Chinese design influences to create a unique, luxurious and modern space. The lobby is both inviting and elegant, featuring hand-painted ceilings, pure silk embroidery and custom-made rosewood and lemonwood furnishings. Respecting the heritage of the Orient, Feng Shui designs for the water features of the hotel’s newly landscaped gardens are visually integrated into the design for the renovated Garden Lounge and Garden Court restaurant.
In addition to Garden Lounge and Garden Court, the hotel’s line-up of distinguished dining establishments includes Danieli’s, voted “Beijing’s Finest Italian Restaurant,” Astor Grill, Wine Lounge and Celestial Court, offering authentic cuisine from Southern China.
