Housed in a modern skyscraper, the 238-room property is smack in the middle of Beijing’s central business district, but it’s slightly removed from the corporate vibes of its surroundings thanks to its discreet entrance and driveway.

Most hotels – even five-star properties of this calibre – tend to overlook such seemingly minor details. But the way you approach Rosewood Beijing, whether you’re driving or walking, is through a mini oasis of beautifully manicured trees and plants that, come autumn, are a sight to behold. There’s nothing like starting the day on a slightly chilly and sunny fall morning while looking at the russet hues of that foliage as you leave to explore Beijing, or make your way back after a day spent walking around the city’s traditional alleyways or glitzy malls.
