"Ten years after the debut of the ultra-sleek PuLi, Shanghai's most stylish hotel finally has a sibling property. The PuXuan Hotel and Spa, near Beijing's Wangfujing shopping district, has 116 rooms done up in soothing wood tones—try and get one with a view of the Forbidden City—as well as restaurants specializing in Cantonese and French cuisine. The PuXuan has quickly become the hotel of choice for Beijing's art crowd—no surprise as the hotel is in a modernist cube-shaped building, and located atop Guardian Art Center, a museum, gallery, and auction space, and across the street from the National Art Museum of China. Make time for the spa, a highlight at both the PuLi and the PuXuan, whether you only have a half-hour for a massage or a full day for lounging."
