Kempinski Hotel Taiyuan

A German brewhouse inside a Shanxi luxury hotel is either a bold statement or an accident of franchise geography, but Paulaner Brauhaus does anchor the restaurant floor here alongside Chinese cooking and a dim sum counter. The 363 rooms run to deep soaking tubs and rainfall showers, and the seventh-floor spa sits beside a heated pool. A solid business hotel in the Xiaodian district, selected by the Michelin Guide.
