Rooms
The 525 rooms -- 57 of them suites -- whose Features section looks this way in the manuscrip lean toward simple elegance, with earth-tone colors and streamlined furniture. All rooms feature a white marble bathroom, 42-inch flat-screen television, CD and DVD players, free high-speed Internet, and Wi-Fi.
Dining
The two main restaurants capture the essence of old and new Beijing. Huang Ting, which serves traditional Chinese cuisine, resembles a nobleman's courtyard house. The wooden door and elaborate screens came from demolished homes in Shanxi Province. Jing serves fusion fare that often ranks among the city's best meals. Jing's dining room glows with red glass curtains, white stone walls, and a stainless steel open kitchen.
