The Pool at Grand Hyatt Beijing

"The vast swimming pool has a mock-tropical decor, with rock caves and a ceiling of electric stars -- it's very kitsch and un-Hyatt but worth a visit even if you have no plans to swim"

"This enormous, curved glass tower just a stone’s throw from the shops of Wangfujing has a lot going for it: super-solicitous service; excellent in-house dining and entertainment; and the most outrageously over-the-top indoor “urban resort” in the city—the 4,921-square-foot Club Oasis, where a vast, waterfall-fed swimming pool is surrounded by Vegas-style stone columns, spa treatment rooms, and an overhead “virtual sky” that changes color through the day"

"The fitness center and spa, Club Oasis, includes a sprawling, basement-level indoor pool that’s a simulated fantasyland of palm trees, star-studded skies and waterfalls"

"However the hotel’s real highlight is the impressive array of restaurants and bars, including the famous Made in China and popular Red Moon Bar; and the fantastic, tropical oasis-style swimming pool, complete with waterfalls, coves and starry night sky"
