This Xinbei corporate address trades stiff business formalities for bright contemporary styling and lively dining.
What it’s good at
Listed
A 2022 overhaul introduced open-frame wardrobes and geometric wood finishes across guest rooms.
What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
Rooms trade the beige palette of most Chinese business hotels for navy blue and mustard yellow, with open-frame wardrobes and paneled headboards.
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Xinbei's civic offices surround the tower, and China Dinosaur Land is a quick taxi ride away.
The rooms
Rooms use geometric wood paneling behind the beds, finished in deep navy and mustard rather than conventional beige.
The gym
Bring a swimsuit.
Free weights sit over zebra-striped carpet in the gym, and an adjoining games lounge has billiards and foosball.
At the table
Tian Xiang Lou focuses on Huaiyang and Cantonese classics, while Nishimura slices sashimi and grills teppanyaki at the counter.
How it began
The building was Changzhou's first international five-star hotel when it debuted in 2005, and keeps its signature gold glass exterior.

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.
