At the junction of Wangfujing and Wusi streets, The PuXuan Hotel and Spa forms part of Beijing’s Guardian Art Center near the Forbidden City. The modernist building was designed to respond to the scale and materials of the surrounding historic quarter. Across 116 rooms and suites, timber and stone are paired with contemporary Chinese craft; selected categories look towards the Forbidden City. Rive Gauche serves French influenced dishes, while Fu Chun Ju focuses on Cantonese cuisine and the tea room provides a quieter setting. UR Spa, a fitness centre and movement studio complete the wellness facilities. The National Art Museum of China and Wangfujing shopping streets are close by on foot.
