Situated along the banks of the Liangma River and right in the heart of Beijing’s embassy territory, the Bulgari Hotel Beijing has effectively used bamboo and wooden partitions to create a retreat in the middle of this sprawling metropolis. Take the elevator up to the rooms and be greeted by stunning views over the river and the impressive skyline of cosmopolitan Beijing.

If the hotel’s beautifully designed interiors (by Italian architectural firm Antonio Citterio Patricia Viel) excite your senses, then continue your artistic appreciation next door at the adjoining museum, or venture out to experience some of the eclectic art Beijing has to offer in nearby neighborhoods.

Taste and Smell

As you meander down corridors, nostrils thick with the scent of fine Italian leather, find yourself drawn to the hotel restaurant and bar where aromas of fresh and impassioned Italian dishes will be taking over as principal character. Aptly named, ‘Il Ristorante’, this one and only restaurant on site is set to tantalize taste buds with a menu delicately put together by Italian three-Michelin-starred chef Niko Romito. Dishes focus on simplistic, yet wholly flavorful Italian cuisine. Enjoy this culinary experience comfortably seated in large brown-leathered booths, underneath contemporary and stylish chandeliers.

Continue this tasteful Italian encounter with the Bulgari brand by heading over to ‘Il Bar’, and appreciate the signature ‘Aperitivo’ made by mixologist Darius. Or on the other hand, if what you’re after is more of a quiet tipple, then take pleasure in an exquisite cocktail or digestif from the very comfort of your own suite, with a fully stocked complimentary bar.

Feel the burn as you push your body to new and rewarding extremes at Bulgari’s world-class partner Workshop Gymnasium. With expert instructors and professional equipment, taking your body to new levels is no longer a chore but a challenge to relish. As with Yin and Yang, a fundamental component of Chinese philosophy, there must always be a balance, so feel your body unwind as you conclude your gym session down in the Bulgari Spa. Set over two floors and offering up an abundance of soothing options, this spa is a must-try. It may just be a challenge to tear yourself away when it is time to leave.

When you stay at the new Beijing location, you’ll also enjoy the added feeling of space (an element not so plentiful in the London or Milan locations). With this added space, the hotel has created terraces leading out from both the hotel restaurant and bar. They’ve also unveiled ‘Terrace Suites’, which boast large and tastefully decorated outdoor areas.
