The Opposite House is the Beijing outpost of Swire Hotel's boutique House chain - the other main example of which is the Upper House in Hong Kong. Sanlitun is basically the embassy area in Beijing and reasonably centrally located. The hotel is uber-modern and very much up to the minute in design, with references to local culture in the colour... More

Very pleasant. While I usually dislike hip hotels, but the Opposite House is an exception. Low-keyed, genuinely friendly, hip but not aggressively so, the downstairs area is spacious and open, totally uncrowded - the breakfast/lunch area is open, relaxed. Rooms are spacious, very well done, excellent beddings, good cosmetics. I will certainly return. (note - one of the other reviewers... More

Opposite House is very hip. The locals know it. The staff know. I know it. Sometimes staff a little too much attitude - for a moment thought I was in LA or NYC Funky bar scene downstairs and great dinner in the Japanese restaurant. Loved the foyer art installation!

Superb design, informal, excellent personal service and great eating places and bars. Just the sort of hotel room you want to come back to and spend time in - has everything you need.

This is definitely a cool place to stay and hang. Had the pleasure of staying there earlier in the year and while comparisons to the sister property, The Upper House, in Hong Kong are not really justifed due to the significant difference in style and layout of the properties, you do get the feeling of association. Go Swire! I stayed... More

Not only is this hotel genuinely stunning to look at, but the service and facilities are up to the same high standard. It's a thoroughly modern design, and it's a pleasure to stay somewhere that is so visually interesting. The art throughout (and the building itself) is provocative and entertaining. This isn't one of those cold trendy designed hotels. Check... More

a fun hotel to stay for those of us completely bored with the Westin Financial Street. The art on display is a great feature of this hotel. F+B staff always a little disorganised, but that is a Beijing wide issue. Great GM in Anthony Ross.
