However, the hotel ripped up the beautiful pine sprung dance floor that used to be just in front of the band a few years back, which was a great shame. If Fairmont have any sense they'll have found it and had it re-installed. I've had some great time there in the past, It's probably China's best known historic hotel and I'm looking forward to seeing it back in its full glory. - Chris The original Jazz Band is now all retired, although I managed to catch them years ago when they were still ‘young’ (about 80) and reasonably competent.
