Sky-High Glamour: The Modern Icons of the CBD
Beijing’s skyline is a testament to its meteoric rise, nowhere more visible than in the glittering Central Business District (CBD) and the vibrant streets of Sanlitun. This collection curates the pinnacle of hospitality where architectural marvels touch the clouds. Expect floor-to-ceiling windows offering panoramic views of the CCTV Headquarters, world-class spas, and Michelin-starred dining high above the bustling streets. From the artistic flair of Hotel Eclat to the dizzying heights of the China World Summit Wing, these properties define modern luxury in China's capital. Whether you are seeking the refined elegance of the Rosewood or the trendy pulse of the InterContinental, prepare to experience Beijing from an entirely new perspective.
Why Choose Beijing for Sky-High Glamour: The Modern Icons of the CBD?
Beijing is no longer just a city of historical hutongs and ancient palaces; it has evolved into a metropolis of futuristic architecture and vertical luxury. Staying in the Chaoyang District, particularly within the CBD and Sanlitun areas, places travelers at the intersection of power, fashion, and commerce. The hotels listed in our "Sky-High Glamour" collection—such as the Conrad Beijing and the Fairmont Beijing—are not merely places to sleep; they are observation decks for the city's rapid development. Guests choose these properties for their ability to offer a sanctuary of silence and opulence high above the chaotic energy of the capital.
Top Areas to Stay
When seeking the modern icons of Beijing, two primary neighborhoods stand out:
- The CBD (Guomao): This is the financial heart of the city. Home to the towering China World Summit Wing and the elegant JW Marriott Hotel Beijing, this area is perfect for business travelers and luxury shoppers.

- Sanlitun: Known for its nightlife and embassy district, Sanlitun offers a younger, trendier vibe. The InterContinental Beijing Sanlitun and Hotel Eclat Beijing are situated here, offering immediate access to Taikoo Li's high-end boutiques and the city's best bars.
What to Expect
