Directly beside the Summer Palace — one of a handful of Unesco World Heritage Sites in Beijing. The 720-acre imperial garden has palaces, pavilions and ornate bridges scattered around Kunming Lake. The décor is understated Chinese: white walls; scintillating golden-brown floor tiles; Ming- and Qing-dynasty-inspired armchairs, armoires, bed and daybed.
