It seems that every other week the Ritz-Carlton  announces the opening of a new hotel (not that we're complaining! We love their legendary service). The newest Ritz-Carlton to join the family is the Ritz-Carlton Beijing, Financial Street, set to open in mid-October. The brand-new glass and chrome building is ideally located for business travellers as well as those on holiday- and we're sure the hotel is already taking reservations for the 2008 Olympics. The hotel will have 253 guest rooms, as well as a Club Level lounge where guestrooms will overlook the Tibetan-style White Pagoda Temple. In addition to Italian and Chinese restaurants, there will also be a Tea Apothecary, offering 88 varieties of tea. For more information, call 800 234 000.
