The St. Regis in Beijing located in a busy street in the heart of the diplomatic district, the St. Regis is close to restaurants, the subway, and great shopping. Just past the multi-jet fountain guarded by a fleet of black Rolls-Royces, you’ll encounter the St. Regis’ grand lobby, decked out in marble and glass. In contrast to Beijing’s cement-heavy avenues, the lobby of the St. Regis maintains a healthy balance of greenery, including indoor palm trees, massive flower arrangements, and a view of a large outdoor garden—rare in Beijing—making it the perfect place to enjoy afternoon tea or cocktails. The St. Regis has a regal ambiance that is expressed not only through design, but through impeccable service as well, with each room assigned a personal butler, in line with the philosophy that every guest is a VIP.
