Fodor's Expert Review Conrad Beijing

One of the capital's newest luxury hotels is in a distinctively curved, tapering tower on the east second ring road; its standout personality extends to touches like Vivid, a rooftop nightclub and lounge, and the skyline views from the guest rooms, enlivened through lozenge-shaped windows. Though this is a business hotel at heart, night owls won't be disappointed, with champagne cocktails in Vivid's rooftop garden a fine way to jump-start an evening at the restaurants and bars of nearby Sanlitun.
