From the editors of Condé Nast Traveler:
The 110-room Hotel G, with its beaconlike, multi-hued windows, makes no bones about its flashy nature: The bordello meets boardroom interiors feature damask stenciled walls, burgundy velvet furnishings, outrageous crystal chandeliers, and mirrors everywhere. Sensual black-and-white photos and miniature Harley Davidsons by artists at the local 798 Dashanzi Art District create a 1960s Hollywood feel. Your room key provides access to several trendy nightclubs nearby, and on weekends, the French DJ Maxwell spins in the lounge at the hotel's restaurant, 25 Degrees, drawing Beijing's bright young things. —2009 Hot ListWhen to go: In May, when temperatures are mild and the air is relatively clear.
Which room to book: The Great Rooms have the best layout for lounging.
