Opened just in time for the 2008 Olympic Games, Hilton Beijing Wangfujing is a contemporary 255-room hotel located near the downtown Wangfujing Dajie shopping street, 10 minutes from Tiananmen Square. Targeting a 50/50 mix of business and leisure travelers, it's positioning itself in between the boutique and five-star corporate hotel segments. Dressed in pine, crème, and light grey tones, the guest rooms start at a spacious 50 square meters. The design is open plan with a glass-partitioned bathroom and walk-in dress closet. Each features a Victorian-style bathtub, double-head massage shower, iPod docks, and wall-mounted TV. Your daily newspaper is deposited in a personalized, chest-high mailbox. The hotel's two signature restaurants are Chynna, serving modern pan-Chinese cuisine, and Vasco’s, named after Portuguese explorer Vasco de Gama and specializing in Macanese fare (the hotel’s owner is from Macau). Vasco’s also has two sommeliers, one to guide you through its extensive vintage wine menu, and the other offering food-pairing advice for its imported bottled waters. For pre- or after-dinner drinks, The Library is a drawing-room style lounge with leather armchairs and large bookcases, while Flames offers nightly live music and power-play cocktails.
