Daily Pampering: Private cigar rooms at Davidoff Lounge, Ritz-Carlton Beijing

Crystal chandeliers and red velvet furniture adorn what is possibly the most exclusive cigar bar in Beijing. But why would you simply hang out at the bar when you can have your own private room?

The Davidoff Lounge at The Ritz-Carlton, Beijing, attracts the discerning type, just as Zino Davidoff had intended it to be when he opened the world's first cigar lounge in Switzerland back in the 1920s. Since then, Davidoff branded lounges have been catering to the world's cigar affectionados.

The four private rooms at the Ritz-Carlton, Beijing, Davidoff Lounge were all designed by separate artists, allowing guests who want to purchase a private room the opportunity to pick one that suits their tastes. Grab one of the fine cigars and rare cognacs, and then settle into your private room for something truly unique and special: karaoke. Because really, what's a good cigar and cocktail without your personal rendition of Foreigner's "I Want To Know What Love Is"?
