Hyatt Regency Changchun

The Lobby Lounge's black stone walls and jade-toned décor around a working fireplace give you a sense of how seriously this business hotel takes its interiors. Northeastern Chinese touches, wooden frames, brick stove accents, lantern chandeliers, run through the whole property without tipping into theme-park territory. The 427 rooms are spacious with broad views over Renmin Avenue, and Pin Yue downstairs does Old Beijing roasted duck.
