The Opposite House
Summary
The Opposite House, as is suggested by its name, is a place of contrast- juxtaposing the influence of Chinese traditional culture with a flair for modern experimentalism. Constructed from shimmering panes of emerald glass and housing a contemporary art gallery throughout the extent of its ground floor, The Opposite House makes an impressive architectural statement whilst simultaneously offering its guests every conceivable luxury. The hotel is located in the vibrant cosmopolitan community of Taikoo Li Sanlitun, whose state-of-the-art buildings serve as a centre in which fashion mixes freely with dining, artistry and entertainment. Every aspect of The Opposite House has been designed to facilitate comfort and privacy, and to provide an urban living experience that is refreshingly out of the ordinary.

Location
Beijing, ChinaHow to get there
The hotel is about 21km from the airport, covered in about 30 minutes in a car. Beijing International Airport serves both international and domestic flights.
Best time to go
Generally speaking, the best months to visit China are in the spring or autumn months of April, May, September and October as temperatures are warm and it is fairly dry.
Our thoughts
The unique design of The Opposite House makes this hotel something of a chameleon- able to perfectly reflect Beijing’s vibrant urban atmosphere from the outside, whilst also acting as an oasis of peace and privacy on the inside. Offering an excess of both style and luxury, The Opposite House is an excellent choice for those travellers with a healthy appreciation of all things modern.
Best Room/Top Tips
During the warmer months, those rooms that offer a private balcony are an excellent choice as the outside area is a great place to spend a lazy afternoon. Studios on the higher floors also offer increased quietude, and better views out over the city.
