The PuXuan Hotel and Spa

Rive Gauche

"Inspired by the arty Left Bank of Paris, this dining room is modern and chic. Gallic techniques and recipes hold no secrets for the seasoned head chef from Hong Kong and the six-course tasting menu is a great way to experience his culinary vision. Deceptively simple at first glance, each dish features complex flavours and textures, as well as bold Chinese twists – such as butter flavoured fermented bean curd or longjing tea panna cotta." - Michelin Inspector

Fu Chun Ju

"Designed by the German architect Ole Scheeren, this dining room seamlessly blends pared-down modernism with hutong tradition. Imagine circular booths that create an array of semi-private spaces. The experienced head chef from Hong Kong showcases his solid and astute skills in signature dishes like the roast pigeon. The revamped menu includes many items that are available in individual portion sizes, so diners may sample the length and breadth of his repertoire." - Michelin Inspector

"Why we love it: A bespoke stay in one of Beijing’s most notable neighborhoods The Highlights: - Perks like included daily breakfast and complimentary minibars - A luxury spa with state-of-the-art treatments - An on-site tea sanctuary with private tasting areas The Review: Personalized guest experiences are the driving force behind The PuXuan Hotel and Spa, located just outside the Forbidden City in WangFuJing—one of Beijing’s most distinguished arts and cultural districts. The property boasts 116 guest rooms, each of which comes with daily breakfast for two, laundry and pressing services, and a fully stocked minibar. Once checked in and settled, guests will want to head straight for the UR SPA, where tailor-made treatments range from facials and massages to more unique options like energy rituals and touch therapy. It’s the perfect preamble to an evening on site, where two dining outlets welcome guests for delicious dinners. Try Rive Gauche for modern French cuisine like côte de bouef with Béarnaise sauce and spiced pigeon with red plum jus, or Fu Chun Ju for authentic Cantonese fare, including dim sum like steamed chicken feet with black bean sauce and deep-fried shrimp spring rolls. Tea lovers will do well with a trip to the Tea Room, an urban escape offering private tasting spaces, a tea lab, and a retail area for souvenir shoppers."

Hotels as Remarkable as Their MICHELIN Restaurants

"When it comes to brand-new high-end luxury hotels, there’s no place in the world that comes even close to being on China’s level." - Mitchell Friedman

The PuXuan Hotel and Spa

"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."
