| Opened in 2005 in a newly constructed, contemporary tower that sits atop the Dengshikou subway stop, this hotel delivers a contemporary setting with Asian flair and prices that are a shade lower than those of its peers. Service here can be laid-back to the point of absent; you might find yourself flagging down waitstaff or a bellhop for help more often than not. Rooms are decorated in deep hues of aubergine and gold and have flat-screen TVs, duvet-topped beds and marble-clad bathrooms with deep soaking tubs. A spacious indoor pool and extensive fitness center with yoga studios keep guests fit, and the Serenity Spa stays open until 1 a.m. with a menu that includes acupuncture, traditional Swedish massage and more. Cafe 99 is a popular expat Sunday brunch haunt with a buffet loaded with Peking duck, sushi, salads and alluring desserts, and the price includes freeflowing Champagne or wine. The hotel's upscale Chinese restaurant, Lijing Xuan, is considered a top spot for Cantonese cuisine. |
