The Opposite House in Beijing, is a glassy boutique hotel, designed by renowned Japanese architect Kengo Kuma. Drawing its name from an old Chinese guesthouse across the courtyard and a place of contrast, the Opposite House, with a lime-green glass cube design, makes a bold statement, along the Beijing skyline. Inside, contemporary style blends with traditional Chinese design to create abundant space in the rooms as well as public spaces.
Located in the middle of the Sanlitun Village, a swanky upscale neighbourhood in Beijing, The Opposite House is surrounded by nice restaurants and bars; a watering hole for the young who want to have a trendy evening out. The hotel’s lobby, isn’t a lobby par se but is more like a cathedral. This is where you are invited to sit on the couch and the courteous receptionist, might ask if you would like to eat first or check-in.
The hotel has 99 loft-style guest rooms with ground to ceiling windows. Boasting a choice of three internationally inspired restaurants and one hotel bar and lounge, The Opposite Hotel offers a collection of International, Mediterranean and traditional Chinese classics. Recreational amenities include a health club, an indoor pool, and a steam room. In the surround, are some of the best restaurants and shops.

Location The Opposite House is located in the cosmopolitan district of Sanlitun, Beijing’s entertainment destination for shopping and dining. It’s an area which is quickly gentrifying from a string of seedy expat bars into a colossal paradise of shops, excellent restaurants and bars.
Getting There Beijing International Airport is about 19 km northeast of the city centre. Taxis are plentiful and can take you into town from 30 mins to over an hour, depending on traffic. Adventurers can take a 23-min train ride to a fairly central station in Beijing. Unless you are fluent in Mandarin, have the address of your hotel written out in Chinese. If you get lost, ask. Beijingers are friendly and willing to help. Hint: The younger the person is, the more likely he or she is to speak some English.
When to go The best time to visit Beijing is during autumn (September to early November) when the skies are clear and the weather is at its comfortable best. The second-best time is spring; late March to mid-May, when winds blow away the pollution but sometimes bring clouds of scouring sand for a day or two, turning the sky a livid yellow (great for pictures). From May onwards the mercury begins to surge well over 30°C until the rains arrive. The months of July and August are sultry and humid.
