Grand Hyatt Beijing (Beijing Dongfang Junyue Dajiudian)
The Grand Hyatt has the best position: directly over the Wangfujing metro station, at the foot of the capital's most famous shopping street, within walking distance of the Forbidden City. The theatrically lit, palatial lobby is a popular meeting place, with live music in the evenings and Beijing's best chocolate shop at one end. Rooms offer signature Grand Hyatt comfort and modernity. Well-equipped bathrooms have separate shower cubicles. The vast swimming pool, buried among mock-tropical decor and a ceiling of electric stars, is very kitsch and un-Hyatt -- worth visiting even if you have no plans to swim. Some of Beijing's best restaurants -- including Noble Court and Made in China -- are scattered throughout.
Facilities:4 restaurants (Beijing, Cantonese, Italian, International); cafe; bar; indoor resort-style pool (50m/164 ft.); children's pool; fitness center with latest equipment; Jacuzzi; sauna; airport limousine pick-up; business center; shopping arcade; 24-hr. room service; massage; jogging path; solarium.
