We really enjoyed our stay at the Grand Hyatt in Beijing.  The location was fantastic just a few blocks from the Forbidden city.  And it was a invaluably (english speaking) serene oasis to return to after our full days of effort, exploring and adventures.



The pool at the Hyatt really has to be seen to be believed. The underground oasis is set in a tropical rainforest in the basement of the Hyatt. There were multiple hot tubs that you could swim to, grottoes, palm trees and waterfalls. The workout room, jacuzzis, saunas and other facilities were equally impressive.
