Where things happen: restaurants, shops, people.
Set within Nantou Ancient City, the guesthouse sits along labyrinthine stone lanes framed by centuries-old gates, plazas, and street vendors.
The rooms
Rooms set exposed concrete against deep green tile and blonde timber, and each has a circular soaking tub.
Restaurant
Rooftop dining and cocktail terrace
Tables look out over historic tiled rooftops toward the Shenzhen skyline, surrounded by an open-air garden.
At the table
The ground-floor cafe opens directly to the alleyways, serving coffee beside floor-to-ceiling windows and raw concrete columns.
How it began
Neri&Hu carved open a nine-storey residential block in 2021, turning the central stairwell into an open vertical courtyard.
