The InterContinental Beijing Financial Street is the best of the brand in the city and has a prime location for city slickers doing business in the area, and as a result is a favorite for meetings and conventions. There are 318 sizeable guestrooms and suites geared towards the executive with high-speed Internet and a large writing desk. The en-suite marble bathrooms are cleverly separated from the bedroom by a glass panel with built-in blinds. The hotel also benefits from an indoor-heated swimming pool adjacent to the sun terrace where you can practice yoga or Tai Chi. The i-Spa provides the full range of spa services and has great couples’ treatments. Local expats and businessmen flock to the Steak Exchange Restaurant & Bar, which serves some of the best beef in the capital, while Monsoon, next door, with its open kitchen hosts an extremely popular champagne Sunday brunch.
