In a lively part of town
Where things happen: restaurants, shops, people.
The Starlight Night Market buzzes right outside, surrounded by Gaozhuang's ornate architecture and lively street-food stalls.
The rooms
Upper-floor balconies look out onto the gilded pagoda spire, which glows brightly across the street after dark.
The outdoor pool
Bring a swimsuit.
The third-floor outdoor pool looks across Gaozhuang, bordered by curved loungers and a shallow children's section.
At the table
The ninth-floor dining room serves Yunnan specialties and breakfast among green armchairs and geometric tiled floors.
How it began
The building operated as an independent local hotel for ten years before its six-month conversion in 2025.
