Aman at Summer Palace, Beijing

The Aman at Summer Palace, Beijing was once the guest quarters for the Empress Dowager Cixi. Now, it's a portal to modern Beijing that preserves the elegance of the Ming Dynasty.

Facing a courtyard with a latticework of pathways and gardens, rooms feature king-size beds, Ming Dynasty-styled armories, traditional wooden screens, and bamboo blinds. Suites are super livable; you can spend an afternoon reclining on a day bed or enjoying the island tubs.

With no shortage of culinary choices, guests can eat continental cuisine in the Lounge, or Cantonese fusion in the Chinese Restaurant. At Naoki, Chef Naoki Okumura serves original Kaiseki fare that combines French techniques with Japanese artistry. Not adventurous? The Grill is Chinese in décor, but serves western fare.

The Aman also embraces wellness with a spa, fitness facility, pool, squash court, and a juice bar. If you're serious about fitness, you can book a consult with on-site trainers.
