The Opposite House
Style Gleaming glass glamour
Setting Sanlitun urban village
A gorgeous glassy boutique hotel in the centre of Beijing’s glossy new Sanlitun village development, The Opposite House is as appealing for its light and luxe rooms as it is for its trio of gourmet restaurants, classy cocktail lounge and pulsing nightclub. No need to go looking for the heart of the action – you’re staying in it.

Food and drink at The Opposite House
- Hotel restaurant You’re spoiled for culinary choice – The Opposite House has three. With midnight blue walls and chocolate leather chairs, Sureño serves delectable Mediterranean dishes cooked in a wood-fired oven. Closer to home in both decor and menu, Bei offers up a spicy fusion of Chinese, Japanese, and Korean cuisine. The Village Café offers lunch-orientated lighter bites, with an international flavour.
- Dress code Preen/McQueen trapeze dresses if you're dining in Bei; add a jacket for Sureño.
- Top table Book one of the hotel’s five private dining rooms, with lighting, music, and menu tailored to your wishes.
- Last orders 24 hours.
- Room service Sureño opens for meals between noon and 10.30pm; Bei is an evening-only affair, closing at 11pm. The Village Café is open all day, until 11pm. Both bars open beyond midnight; Mesh to 1am and Punk until 3am.
- Hotel bar Look to swish lounge bar Mesh for fine wines and inventive cocktails (the watermelon and chilli martini is an unexpected highlight). As the night draws on, relocate to Punk, the edgy nightclub space where local and international DJs supply the soundtrack Wednesday to Sunday.

Our favourite rooms
Light, modern, and delightfully spacious, The Opposite House’s Studios are all uncluttered apartment-style suites. There are four grades of Studio – 45, 70, 95, and 115 – increasing in size as the numbers go up. The seven Studio 95s are our top choice (although the 115s come with the added bonuses of dining tables and Jacuzzis), as they feature balconies equipped with cosy Chinese day-beds. The huge penthouse has a fully fitted kitchen.
Packing tips
Bring a hearty (and discerning) appetite – to ensure you try all three of The Opposite House’s eateries.
Also
The hotel is built at the heart of the Village at Sanlitun, a massive open-plan complex of shops, restaurants, cafés and entertainment venues, so it’s very unlikely you’ll be stuck for things to do.
