What it’s good at
What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
Decorative panels in the lobby recreate the click of an abacus, a wink at the Jin merchants who built the region's old trading networks.
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Longcheng Park spreads out across the street, and Metro Line 2 stops right outside for trips into the city.
The rooms
Rooms keep to pale timber and minimalist work desks, with windows looking out over Longcheng Park.
The water
Bring a swimsuit.
The pool and gym
An indoor heated pool and whirlpool sit on the basement level, steps from a 24-hour Technogym fitness center.
Restaurant
Yue
The kitchen prepares Cantonese dishes and Shanxi classics, served across curved banquettes and private dining rooms facing the city.
At the table
Daily Social serves international buffets from open kitchens, and the club lounge pours drinks across a dedicated oval bar.

The eight vibes

Built around a vision. Even the door handles have a designer.
Luxe
Cared for at every turn. The bath is drawn before you ask.
Local
It could only be here. You wake up knowing where you are.
Social
Where the city goes out. The bar is full and the night is young.
Heritage
A building with a story. Once a palace, a monastery, a station.
Wellness
You leave feeling new. Rest, sweat, soak and sleep like a stone.
Classic
The city grew up with it. Same rituals, same regulars, same bar.
Resort
A world of its own. Something to do from breakfast to nightcap.
The scene
Lively
Where things happen: restaurants, shops, people.
Central
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Quiet
Away from the crowds. Getting around takes intention.
Secluded
A place apart: the property is the destination.
