The flagship hotel of a homegrown hospitality brand, NUO serves up a Chinese take on luxury living, which equates to teas from its own plantations in the palatial guest rooms, Chinese poetry inscribed on the marble bathroom walls and bling art pieces from Chinese superstar artist Zeng Fanzhi in the lobby. Far from the action, but close to 798 Art District.
The lavish champagne buffet brunch every Sunday is a sight to behold. The hotel is easily confused with its sister property Beijing Hotel NUO close to the Forbidden City, so check address carefully.
