Fodor's Expert Review Hotel Eclat

Attached to Parkview Green, Beijing’s most artsy and upscale shopping mall, this playfully ultraluxe option has "lagoon" suites with their own private swimming pools, and a fabulous art collection that includes original works by Salvador Dalí and Andy Warhol. Guest rooms are tricked out with some impressive comforts and hip lifestyle gadgets (3D TVs, Japanese toilets), and some come with fully equipped kitchens and prestocked fridges. All suites come with personal butler service, and though dining in the hotel itself is limited, Parkview Green has an excellent and varied selection of restaurants, including a new "express" edition of the legendary Dadong that serves some of the city’s best Peking duck.
