Upscale rooftop wonderland

Word to the wise: The rooftop terrace is closed during winter, making the indoor bar and dance floor packed and sweaty - so be sure to come on a night when the terrace is open to experience Xiu at its best.

Tipple of choice: Anything but their free Ladies Night vodka mixes.

Half outdoor terrace, half pulsating indoor club; the unique entertainment experience that Xiu offers has made it the city's hot-spot.

Located in the Park Hyatt hotel, Xiu houses five bars and lounges, including a main bar and a luxurious executive lounge, though everyone's favourite spot is undoubtedly the classy outdoor terrace with its traditional Chinese pavilions overlooking the Central Business District. Sip on an exquisitely mixed cocktail while enjoying the stunning view over Beijing's skyline, then proceed to the pulsating dance floor for an unforgettable night. A glass of champagne is included in the entrance fee.
