Formerly known as Fulu Courtyard Hotel, Beijing Shichahai Rosewood Cultural Theme Hotel, which was rebuilt from the private residence of Auxiliary Minister Sony during the Kangxi reign of the Qing Dynasty, was the 2017 TripAdvisor Travelers' Choice Hotel. The hotel has renovated the original layout of the courtyard and opened up a total of 10 suites, all of which are equipped with classical Chinese style furniture based on precious solid wood such as rosewood and golden silk nanmu.
Pushing open the door of the hotel, a stone wall with the word "戬榖" written on it comes into view, "戬榖" has the meaning of avoiding evil and driving away evil and praying for blessing and peace, which contrasts with the ancient buildings. The whole courtyard is covered with a layer of high-transmittance glass capping, which does not affect the normal lighting in the courtyard, and at the same time isolates extreme weather such as rain, snow, thunderstorms and high temperature and sun, so that the whole courtyard has a constant temperature and comfort indoors, and also protects the precious rosewood inside and outside the guest rooms.
The front desk of the hotel is facing the hanging flower gate of the courtyard, and when you enter this gate, you will have a panoramic view of the quaint and solemn courtyard. The vermilion doors, dark green window lattices, dark gray tiles and floor tiles, and gold-painted lintels seem to have strayed into a large family a hundred years ago. There are a total of 5 wooden tables in the courtyard, and the four in the corner can be used for drinking tea and dining, and the four treasures of the study are equipped to become a public desk.
The hotel is divided into two parts above ground and underground, there are 6 rooms on the ground, there are 4 rooms hidden underground, the room layout is square, the partition is clear, in terms of luxury materials, although the red sandalwood culture theme hotel can not be compared with the Hanzhen Garden with a cost of 200 million, but the historical background of Sony's private house has made the whole courtyard better than similar B&Bs in the pattern. Each room has an independent living room, and humanized modern design of the bath space, part of the room in addition to the exquisitely carved and expensive rosewood bed, but also with a carved rosewood bed, with a low table and cushioned bed, during the day can be used for two people to sit opposite tea, or one person to rely on reading, at night can also spread the bedding, become a parent-child bed.
There are many wooden furniture and ornaments in the courtyard, the whole B&B is non-smoking, and the price of a single night in the hotel is between 850-1350, which is suitable for guests who love Chinese classical style and families with children.
