Beijing

"Squirrelled away behind a sliding steel door in a traditional alleyway, this three-room plus one-suite guest house aims to compete with the in-room amenities of a five-star hotel -- minus the stuffiness. [Wallpaper]  3Plus1 Bedrooms offers cool minimal-white interiors, private patios with lush bamboo, a rooftop terrace with fantastic views over Old Beijing. "Feels like you're not in the city."   Cool spot for drinks in Beijing, Red Bar, is two doors down. Good value, rooms from $160.
