Vue Hotel Houhai Beijing

Vue Hotel Houhai Beijing

Description

Against the backdrop of Beijing’s solemn heritage, VUE seeks to transcend Chinese luxury in a whimsical, forward-looking way, presenting a fresh way to »view« conventional opulent Chinese luxury. VUE is a rare example of adaptive reuse in China, drawing from the old and recasting it in a new light (continuum), rather than merely replacing/preserving. 6 quasi-historic buildings (1950s) have been converted into an 80-room boutique hotel, café, signature restaurant and rooftop bar.
