What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Residential hutong alleyways surround the front gate, and the Forbidden City is a short taxi ride west.
The rooms
Renovated guestrooms look toward the courtyard, pairing exposed roof beams with quiet, modern furnishings.
At the table
The glass-walled dining room serves regional noodles under glowing lanterns, and the sunlit bar pours tea and wine.
How it began

Owner Shauna Liu originally bought the compound as a private home, inspired by boutique riads she visited in Morocco.
