Fodor's Expert Review Westin Beijing Chaoyang

1 Xinyuan Nanlu, Beijing, Beijing, 100027, China

With 34 floors of guest rooms, the Westin Beijing Chaoyang isn't exactly a small affair, but what the hotel lacks in intimacy, it more than makes up for in luxury: highlights include the trademark "Heavenly" beds and thunderous rain-forest showers, waking up to the best and most abundant breakfast buffet in the city, and service that is relaxed, charming, and attentive. Guest rooms err toward the businesslike—they are decorated with techy gagdets and contemporary furnishings. On Sundays, Taste restaurant is the haunt of Beijing’s brunch set for Bubbalicious, an all-you-can-drink champagne fest with dozens of live cooking stations that's a relative bargain. The Westin Spa has an extensive menu of massages and treatments.
