Rosewood Beijing Hotel
Beijing
Cao Xueqin’s saga Dream of the Red Chamber is considered the
Chinese novel, and it is also the scarlet thread which runs through this
ultra-luxe hotel in Beijing’s CBD. There is a leatherbound copy in each of the 283 bedrooms and exotic art inspired by the story throughout. As
with all Rosewood properties, food is a focus: there are six restaurants to choose from. Sham Wing-On, famed for his mastery of Cantonese
cuisine, oversees The House of Dynasties, while Red Bowl is the place
to try a potent saké negroni. Doubles from £199.
