HEN it comes to MICE and men in China, the 486-room twin-tower The Westin Beijing Financial Street is literally streets ahead with 1,686sq m of function space and a useful location blending the needs of business and leisure travellers. As one of the best Beijing conference hotels, the smorgasbord of facilities here includes free Wi-Fi in meeting halls, video conferencing and the usual wow-factor AV equipment.

But it is not just hardware or the modern reflective glass facade that keeps this property ticking. Brisk service and attention to detail will keep guests returning to that signature Westin Heavenly Bed® and in-room throw-ins that include complimentary Internet access, a rain forest shower, CD/DVD player, flat-screen TV, plug-and-play data port, spacious work desk, ergonomic chair and BOSE wave radio. Suites run from a spacious 70sq m to a briefcase-swinging 260sq m in soothing pastel tones. All this in the hotel tower while the second tower houses 205 smart Executive Residences.

Fall to the refreshing task of "renewal" with ease, scrolling through a list of to-dos ranging from a possible stay in a WestinWORKOUT® Room to visiting the gym, the stylish 25m indoor swimming pool with lots of natural light, or the aromatic 2,094sq m Heavenly Spa. Think "Aromasoul Massage Rituals" and "Celestial Body Massages". You get the idea. This is a hard-working hotel where play is an essential nightcap to ensure a stress-free and productive day. And that's what sets apart this address as one of the top Beijing business hotels.

The Westin Kids Club is a  family-friendly feature that keeps younger guests entertained. There are a staggering seven restaurants to pick from. Prego offers a playful mood with modern Italian cuisine and home-style dishes while upscale Jewel serves Cantonese  and Chinese specialties from around the country.  Overlooking a Zen garden, Plush is a good spot to grab a martini or coffee with friends. This is a modern hotel with heart, big yet mindful of small details, equally comfortable with large groups as with intimate couples.
