The St. Regis Beijing

Twice-daily butler service, fresh flowers swapped out like clockwork, marble bathrooms stocked with towels that feel like small luxuries: the St. Regis Beijing is a grand, white-glove hotel that takes the fuss seriously so you don't have to. The concierge is particularly good at arranging cars and steering guests toward the city's better tables. An indoor pool, tai chi classes, and round-the-clock squash courts round out the facilities.
