The Pool at The St. Regis Beijing

"Facilities: 5 restaurants; bar; billiards room; butler service; cigar and wine-tasting rooms; concierge; forex; well-equipped exercise room; gorgeous indoor pool (25m/82 ft"

"At this favorite of business travelers and dignitaries, the luxurious interiors combine classic Chinese elegance with modern furnishings, but it's the facilities that really stand out: the health club is equipped with a Jacuzzi that gets its water directly from a natural hot spring, the glass-atrium swimming pool offers a sun-drenched backstroke, and the smart, wood-paneled Press Club Bar has the air of a private club"

"The fitness center includes an indoor pool, classes such as tai chi and yoga, and 24-hour access to the squash courts and putting range"

"In addition to its great location in the diplomatic district, the property offers 24-hour butler service, a spa and swimming pool, and five restaurants including the casual Garden Court with a show kitchen cooking up Western and Asian food"

"These are the most expensive beds in town, but for your money you’ll get a personal butler, top restaurants, the lovely, low-lit Press Bar, vast 24-hour gym and big pool, and beautiful garden"
