What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
The lobby's centrepiece is a large bas-relief of Yellow Crane Tower flanked by latticed timber windows and a sculptural golden chandelier.
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Northwest Lake sits across the street, and the regional food stalls of Wansongyuan Road are a short walk away.
The rooms
Navy and yellow accents brighten the bedrooms, and cloud-patterned carpets run under warm globe pendant lighting.
The water
Bring a swimsuit.
The pool
The heated indoor pool sits beneath a domed ceiling, with windows looking out across the city towers.
At the table
Fuego serves international buffets among blue banquettes, and Daze Lounge pours afternoon tea and wine in the lobby.
How it began
The property opened in 2002 as a Novotel, then underwent a seventeen-month overhaul to become China's first voco in 2021.
