BEIJING

Ladies special

Waldorf Astoria will declare Thursday evenings as "ladies night", themed with the romance of old Shanghai to stir your heart and intoxicate your senses. In the elegant Peacock Alley bar, female guests can enjoy complimentary drinks and snacks while they chitchat and let the stress melt away. Three cocktails in pretty hues of misty blue and dreamy green can be savored, in addition to a sparkling Italian wine. The opening night of Sept 10 features giveaways from high-end boutique department store Lane Crawford and super sports-car brand McLaren, and the evening's best-dressed ladies (in qipao) will enjoy the McLaren experience and a Lane Crawford gift card.

Peacock Alley, Waldorf Astoria Beijing, 5-15 Jinyu Hutong, Dongcheng district. 010-8520-8989.
