The 19-room Residence has been established in the former siheyuan (courtyard home) of a wealthy Qing Dynasty silk merchant. It is ideally located in the heart of the old city and encompasses a series of grey-brick pavilions built around a set of fourcourtyards in the authentic architectural style of northern China.

In addition to luxurious accommodation, the Residence also features a dining room, exclusive meeting space and a cozy library and adjacent bar making it the perfect "home-away-from-home" for discerning travelers.

Unobtrusive landscaping features bamboo, water element, white stone from northern China and traditional brick-paved alleyways that connect the various courtyards. At night, dramatic lighting enhances the courtyard’s almost palpable sense of time and history.
