The art hotel that has stood invincible for many years—The Opposite House in Beijing

🕍 The Opposite House in Beijing 🏡 features an architectural facade designed like a large glass box 🪟, with a lobby decorated with oriental elements. The hotel is located next to the bustling Sanlitun, with Taikoo Li just nearby, within walking distance to the subway, and close to the Forbidden City, Yonghe Temple, and the Temple of Heaven. 🕌 Situated in the southern part of the fashionable Sanlitun area in Beijing, The Opposite House offers a perfect blend of the bustling Sanlitun and the simplicity of traditional courtyard houses, immersing guests in authentic Beijing lifestyle. This boutique hotel, passionately designed by the Japanese architectural master Kengo Kuma (Kuma Kengo), ingeniously combines traditional Chinese elements with modern minimalist concepts, placing travelers in a poetic life amidst bamboo and natural elements, creating an effect akin to an 'urban forest'. 🏛️ The transparent curtains cascading down from the lobby, the tranquil and harmonious emerald green glass curtain walls, and the soft curves easily evoke thoughts of the lightness of air and flowing water, complemented by the overall elm wood interior, naturally bringing a sense of nature. 🏡 The strong collision between contemporary style and traditional Chinese design, the intense style of the era, and the infinitely expansive space design offer a refreshing impact. The combination of original wooden furniture and vintage items in the art display on the first floor of the hotel is more like a modern art museum. 🏨 As one of the hotel's most unique designs, the stainless steel swimming pool reflects the light projected into the water to the maximum extent, creating an illusion of light and shadow for those in it. To fully unleash the 'phantom' magic, fiber optic lights hanging from the ceiling are hidden against a dark background, producing an effect like a dazzling night sky. 🏠 The Opposite House has 99 open-plan guest rooms, including 9 spacious suites and 1 top-floor duplex suite. The top-floor duplex suite of The Opposite House features a rooftop balcony of 240 square meters, and the room design is simple and exquisite, with natural wooden floors and subtle Chinese elements, revealing the traditional colors of the hotel's location. 🏠 180° panoramic glass floor-to-ceiling windows offer an unobstructed view, allowing the outdoor scenery to freely pour in 📷 perfect for taking amazing photos! The hardware is luxuriously equipped, with furniture all made of oak, 🛀 bathtubs and washbasins are also made of pure oak, full of forest series, the texture is absolutely great! 🥘 Don't miss out on the hotel's dining options, including the Michelin-starred Jing Yaa Tang and the trendy retro Sichuan concept restaurant SUPERFLY, the modern Italian restaurant FRASCA🍝 and the art social space bar UNION~ satisfying all your fantasies about fine food and wine. 🏨 Hotel: The Opposite House in Beijing 📍 Address: Building 1, Courtyard 11, Sanlitun, Chaoyang District, Beijing
