Designed to challenge the norm, The Opposite House promises to provide a most immeasurable Beijing luxury vacation experience. Designed by renowned architect Kengo Kuma, this unique, stylish and very contemporary Beijing hotel features warm and welcoming décor blended with a sharp colour palette, minimalist furnishings, and pure sophistication. The vibe is hip and trendy. The hotel gets its name from its location opposite a traditional courtyard style home in the southern sector of the prestigious Village of Sanlitun’s courtyard in Beijing. This area has a reputation for its nightlife and there is a strong sense of East meeting West, with plenty of big shopping brands and Western style cafés and restaurants. The exterior greets visitors with an emerald glass wall, but once inside the green facade provides a soft screen for privacy and comfort. The expansive atrium houses a contemporary gallery which features artwork by ten Chinese artists who have interpreted the facade into textile pieces.
