The Bar/Lounge at Shangri-La Beijing

"Standard rooms in the older tower are comfortable, but slightly worn -- for an extra ¥500, it's worthwhile to upgrade to the Valley Wing, a luxurious tower of new executive rooms decorated in elegant muted beige tones, with access to an indulgent lounge with free breakfast, afternoon cocktails, and canapés"

"There’s a veritable cornucopia of world-class dining on offer at the hotel, including a Japanese restaurant with sushi and teppanyaki bars that are pure performance art"

"Premier rooms in the Valley Wing are slightly larger and provide the usual perks—express check-in and checkout, Crispy Mint bath toiletries, a private 12th-floor lounge for breakfast buffets and free pressing on arrival"
