Hotel details
The Opposite House in the heart of Beijing is a superb boutique hotel and a temple to modern cubist minimalist design. Great expanses of emerald green glass and creative lighting, chosen by Japanese architect Kengo Kuma, provide a roomy atmosphere in the hotel’s massive central atrium and in its beautifully designed loft-like accommodation.
These 98 studios and one deluxe two-floor penthouse suite, all built off the atrium on walkways, blend warm and rich colours with natural materials including stone and glossy wood floors to create welcoming state-of-the art living spaces. Cutting-edge features include rectangular bathtubs carved from solid wood, underfloor heating and the very latest in high-end entertainment and comfort systems.
The heart of this chic and exclusive hotel is “Jing Yaa Tang,” one of the principle culinary addresses in the city, which sits in the hotel’s basement. Again, the design is contemporary with a primary black and gold colour scheme. Diners come from far and wide to sample this restaurant’s fabled duck, which is simply fantastic and beyond compare, even in Beijing.
Alternatively, “Sureño” offers Mediterranean cuisine so authentic it is hard to remember you are in China. Last, but not least, the delightful “Village Café,” offers casual international dining throughout the day.
Guests can also make use of the hotel’s high-tech gym and take a swim in the unique 22-meter stainless steel swimming pool.
The hotel’s central position close to the airport make it an excellent and practical choice for visitors and business travelers alike who are seeking a unique base in this fast-changing city.
