The Opposite House in Beijing Sanlitun, along with The Upper House (home to Cafe Grey Deluxe) in Hong Kong, is part of Swire Hotels‘ house collections. It’s designed by world-famous Kengo Kuma (隈 研吾), and yes, it is high on style. A unique feature of the hotel is that its lobby serves as an exhibition space – here are some snapshots:
Village Cafe.
Go downstairs for Sureño’s Mediterranean fare, or Bei’s North Asian inspirations.
We ended up at Mesh to soak up its warm vibe and cool cocktails.
Passionfruit & Lychee Martini (70 RMB).
Kiwi & Thyme (70 RMB).
Still thinking about where to stay next time in Beijing? This is it.
Do stay next time you’re in Beijing, it’s a really fantastic hotel. :)
