It’s billed as an ‘oasis of comfort’, with a Jacuzzi, rainforest shower, and silk pillows – step inside the $8,400-a-night (£5,000) suite Michelle Obama currently calls home.

The first lady is staying at the five-star Westin Hotel in Chaoyang, just outside Beijing, during her week-long trip to China with her two daughters Malia and Sasha, and her mother Marian Robinson.

During her trip, described as a 'person-to-person' soft diplomatic tour, the family will be staying in the Jinmao Presidential Suite at the hotel, near the US Embassy.

The hotel is 25 minutes from Beijing Capital International Airport and ‘within the popular Sanlitun entertainment area’, the hotel’s website explains, putting guests ‘in the midst of a thriving district of office towers and embassies, international boutiques, restaurants and clubs’.



Boasting 550 guest rooms, Michelle Obama is occupying the presidential suite, a 3,445sq-ft area, which boasts a separate lounge, kitchen, a sauna and steam room as well as an honour bar.

In a description of the room, the hotel adds: ‘Every element of the Jinmao Presidential suite is designed to please and pamper.
