The Germans are coming, in style

The first property in Asia managed by Frankfurt-based luxury hotel group Steigenberger, Hotel Maximilian, will open next month in Beijing and promises to show China hospitality, German-style.

Located in the Audi World complex close to the Wangjing area where many international companies have their China offices, it is less than 20 minutes' drive to the airport. The hotel will have 286 rooms, including some that belong to the Audi training center.

Food and beverage options are varied, with a Chinese restaurant offering Cantonese cuisine and an all-day dining outlet providing a buffet of popular international dishes. Paulaner Maximilian, the second Paulaner in Beijing, will continue to promote German beer and cuisine.
