Places inside the city's finest hotels.

Most hotel guides tell you where to sleep. Besiden tells you what's inside the building.

You've heard the names. You've seen the photos. You know the bars and restaurants that make the city worth living in. What most people don't realize is that more of them than you'd think are inside hotels, right behind a lobby you've walked past.

Every hotel has an obvious side. The reception. The concierge. The standard breakfast room. Then there is the architecture of surprise.

We connect the dots between the places you already want to go and the hotels they live inside. The bars, rooftops, and dining rooms that happen to be inside a hotel and are worth going to whether you're staying or not.

Besiden is not a booking platform. Not a review site. It's a guide to what's actually inside the buildings, for anyone who wants to know the city a little better than most.
