JW Marriott, Beijing

This luxury business hotel in the Chaoyang district provides a center for work or play. Outside, the main entrance with a fountain sets a grand tone, and the lobby opens up to two stories with a circular staircase and five reception desks. This 23-floor hotel has 542 rooms and 33 suites; for meetings, almost 20,000 square feet of space is available. Guest rooms (from the basic Deluxe to the Presidential Suite) are decorated in neutral tones with green and yellow accents. The Lobby Lounge is a great place for a drink before dining on rotisserie at the CRU Steakhouse.
