The Bar/Lounge at The Ritz-Carlton Beijing, Financial Street

"This Ritz-Carlton is home to four dining venues: Greenfish (continental seafood), Qi (Cantonese dishes from Sichuan and Beijing), Cepe (Italian with a 2,000-label wine list) and Crystal Bar & Lounge (cocktails and daily afternoon tea)"

"For this reason, the Forbes Travel Guide Five-Star hotel sees a mostly suit and tie crowd during the week, when the space is filled with guests taking advantage of the full afternoon tea service or sipping cocktails at the Crystal Bar"

"Upgrading to an executive room gives you access to a 24-hour club lounge that serves a steady stream of delicious bites and drinks throughout the day, plus free Wi-Fi"

"Neighborhood views from the lower floors are quintessentially urban; Club Floor guests can look upon the Tibetan White Pagoda between bites from the all-day complimentary buffet in the executive lounge"

"The hotel’s common areas are equally cool; in the lobby lounge, walls are adorned with 60,000 sculpted resin bamboo leaves, as well as a specially commissioned painting by famous local artist Bo Yun"

"Crystal Lounge does afternoon tea and happy hour (a lot of suspenders) with equal aplomb"

"Club-level rooms are the cream of the crop boasting Ritz-Carlton's high caliber of service in a private lounge serving five food and beverage presentations daily"
