Moreover, the public spaces have eye-catching artwork. This includes a two-meter-wide androgynous head painted by Shandong's Ling Jian. It looks calmly at the guests approaching the bar, restaurant, and check-in desks.

Service and Facilities

The Waldorf Astoria Beijing feels like a boutique hotel. However, it still offers a spa, swimming pool, and whirlpool. Moreover, a separate building offers Qing Dynasty-style hutong guest suites. These include a villa of mammoth proportions with its private garden and pool. There is no lobby so that that service can be discreet. But there is always someone there to help you if needed.

Brasserie 1893

The Brasserie 1893 is about a candid interaction between chef and guest, culinary indulgence, and visual delight. It combines the French word 'brasserie', meaning informal, high-quality work, with the 1893 year. That's the date of the opening of the Waldorf Astoria, New York.

Moreover, the gourmet chef spent many years in New York at the Waldorf Astoria. He is responsible for creating signature dishes like Eggs Benedict and Waldorf salad, now served by Brasserie 1893.
