This eight-room guesthouse sits on the Suoxi River, running more like a quiet tea pavilion than a hotel.

Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Xibu Street's night markets hum right outside the door, and the towering sandstone pillars of Wulingyuan rise just beyond.
The rooms
Rooms have tatami platforms for brewing tea, and select suites add deep soaking tubs overlooking the water.
At the table
A communal wooden table sits beneath exposed roof trusses, where breakfast and local dishes come from an open kitchen.

The eight vibes
Design
Built around a vision. Even the door handles have a designer.
Luxe
Cared for at every turn. The bath is drawn before you ask.
Local
It could only be here. You wake up knowing where you are.
Social
Where the city goes out. The bar is full and the night is young.
Heritage
A building with a story. Once a palace, a monastery, a station.
Wellness
You leave feeling new. Rest, sweat, soak and sleep like a stone.
Classic
The city grew up with it. Same rituals, same regulars, same bar.
Resort
A world of its own. Something to do from breakfast to nightcap.
The scene
Lively
Where things happen: restaurants, shops, people.
Central
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Quiet
Away from the crowds. Getting around takes intention.
Secluded
A place apart: the property is the destination.
