LAN Club 兰会所

Hip club with crystal chandeliers and antique art
Word to the wise: Don't miss the club's mirror-walled toilets and animal sinks.

This exclusive lounge club, designed by world renowned Philippe Starck, has quickly become a popular place of status in Beijing due to its spectacular interior.
LAN's 35 private rooms are booked by rich Beijingers who begin their evening by enjoying a dinner in the club's restaurant. The modern kitchen serves everything from oysters to contemporary Chinese dishes, and also offers a wine cellar and a cigar room.

People come here to be seen, and prices in the bar range upwards from RMB 50 for a beer. The music is unpredictable and varies from live jazz to pulsating techno. The club is said to be past its heyday but its magnificent interior makes it still worthy of a visit.
