What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
One House Design used bamboo, brick, wood and stone in the interiors, with the lobby conceived as a scholar's study; unhurried and contemplative in atmosphere.
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
The Presidential Palace and the Six Dynasties Museum sit steps away on Changjiang Road. Xuanwu Lake is an easy walk north.
The rooms
Warm wood paneling lines the rooms, and select suites open onto private terraces.
The pool
Bring a swimsuit.
An 18-meter indoor pool on Level B1 ends in a transparent glass wall beneath slatted timber ceilings.
Restaurant
M Bistro
M Bistro prepares regional Jiangnan dishes with classic French techniques. Booths sit beside illuminated amber screens and brick accents.
At the table
A sculptural timber spiral staircase curves past the lounge bar. On the roof, sunken seats surround an open firepit.
