Zhaolong Hotel 兆龙饭店

Its location near embassies, the CBD and Pacific Century Place has made the five-star Great Dragon - or Zhaolong as it is more commonly referred to - popular with business travelers since it opened in 1985. Recently renovated, it has a swimming pool and five restaurants, including The Tandoor, which serves Indian food. Another perk is that guests can use Nirvana Fitness and Spa. RMB 2,500-16,000.
