Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Huaxi LIVE and the Cadillac Arena sit a short drive away, connected to central Beijing via Wukesong Station.
The rooms
Rooms are streamlined and practical for work trips, finished in quiet neutral tones overlooking the surrounding district.
The indoor pool
Bring a swimsuit.
Curtained dark-wood cabanas line the heated lap pool, where marked swimming lanes run beneath an exposed-beam ceiling.
The spa
The gym and studio
Rowing machines and weight stations sit beneath slatted timber ceilings, alongside a bright, mirrored studio for yoga.

Open buffet counters and roast meat stations stand beneath ink-wash artwork, serving Chinese and international fare throughout the day.

Cai Feng Lou serves Cantonese and Huaiyang specialties, and Gui Hot Pot presents simmering broths in hammered copper pots.
How it began
The tower stands on the site of the 1985 Xinan Hotel, rebuilt in 2021 with interiors by designer Patrick Leung.
