"Every year for my birthday, I take my family for a short hotel stay to celebrate and have a mini-vacation. This year, I chose The Opposite House. It's a small yet exquisite luxury hotel, full of surprises waiting to be discovered.
The hotel is located within the Parkview Green shopping mall and is part of the SLH (Small Luxury Hotels of the World) group. From the small fish-filled glass ceiling at the front desk to the art-lined corridor leading to the elevators, the hotel's distinctive artistic style is evident everywhere. We stayed in a Deluxe Terrace Twin Room, where a playful and whimsical artistic touch was evident right from the placement of each room number. I noticed that almost every room number was deliberately placed askew, which might drive perfectionists crazy! The room also featured some thoughtful little details, such as a smart toilet, a heated towel rail, and even a massage chair. The terrace was also very comfortable; because the hotel's exterior is enclosed and surrounded by greenery, sitting on the terrace sofa felt like being in a botanical garden (the sofa on the terrace was also very soft and comfortable).
The hotel's bedding was excellent, very comfortable, especially the mattress. Even someone like me, who is a bit particular about beds, couldn't find any fault with it. The toiletries were from Miller Harris's 'Tea Tonique' series, and both the scent and the moisturizing effect on my hair were great.
I'm grateful that the hotel not only provided afternoon tea but also arranged a guided tour for us. Mr. Damon's explanation was very detailed. We visited various art exhibits, big and small, displayed on each floor, feeling like we were in a small art museum. This gave us a deeper understanding of the hotel: each floor has a different artistic style. The 16th floor has a Chinese theme, mainly featuring photographs, and the gym is also on this floor. The 17th floor has a Western theme, with oil paintings and bronzećşäťś, and a small library that can also be used as a meeting room. The 18th floor has a modern theme, displaying various abstract or avant-garde works. We heard that the Presidential Suite also houses art pieces, but unfortunately, it wasn't available for viewing as guests were staying there. We also toured some of the hotel's themed suites, which successfully piqued my interest in staying there again.
During our stay, the hotel delivered different small treats every evening, and on my birthday, they brought a cake. The staff were all very polite, and room cleaning and replenishment of supplies were always prompt. Plus, being right next to Parkview Green shopping center, and not far from The Place and Parkview Green World City, with Sanlitun just about a 10-minute walk north, it's incredibly convenient to shop and then just stroll back to the room to rest when tired.
The hotel breakfast was semi-buffet style. Both the selectable main courses and the self-service appetizers, bread, and soft drinks were a bit limited in variety. The restaurant itself wasn't very large, filling up quickly after just a few tables, making the space feel a bit cramped. However, there was a good variety of breakfast teas to choose from, which I really liked.
Overall, this was a very satisfying stay. As a young brand, while it may not have the rich historical and cultural heritage of older five-star hotels, the vibrancy and enthusiasm characteristic of a younger brand are its very distinct features. I hope the hotel can improve the variety of its breakfast to make it even more perfect. I look forward to experiencing different styles of suites on my next visit."
