The Bar/Lounge at China World Summit Wing, Beijing

"Occupying the upper floors of Beijing's tallest building, the business-chic Summit Wing offers knee-trembling views from its luxurious guest rooms—if you need a drink to steady your nerves, the excellent 80th-floor cocktail bar makes a perfect Old Fashioned"

"On Sundays the excess continues, with a full orchestra playing for those enjoying traditional high tea, coffee or cocktail in the relaxed lounge bar"

"For an even more elevated high, visit the Adam Tihany–designed Grill 79 restaurant and the preferred cocktail lounge of Beijing shakermakers, Atmosphere, on the 79th and 80th floors"

"Or simply head to the comfortable lobby and lounge area surrounding the reception desk where you’ll find endless snacks, coffee service, hardback books to borrow and even telescopes to enjoy close-up scapes of the city"

"All accommodations here have access to a Resident's Lounge (an executive lounge of sorts, but for everyone), which has all-day drinks, complimentary continental breakfast, and evening cocktails"
