China Jing' s Residence

China Jing's Residence | Urbane Nomads

Overview

Nestled amongst dusty curio shops and traditional noodle restaurants in the old world walled city of Pingyao is the 19-room Jing's Residence. The design of this small boutique hotel echoes harmoniously with its surroundings, which has been established in the former siheyuan (courtyard home) of a wealthy Qing Dynasty silk merchant.

The hotel is ideally located in the heart of the old city and encompasses a series of grey-brick pavilions built around a set of four courtyards in the authentic architectural style of northern China. Tables and chairs are located outside each pavilion where you can while away your time reading, drinking tea, or just relaxing, whilst soaking up the historical atmosphere.

Figures well as part of a luxury travel itinerary through China or as part of a luxury honeymoon or destination wedding in China.

Accommodation

The 19 meticulously renovated bedrooms and suites reflect the unique character of the residence. Natural materials create a sophisticated yet relaxing environment. Decorative features range from ancient carved wooden window frames and timber structural elements to bamboo flooring and rice paper ceilings. Many touches pay tribute to local culture and traditional handicrafts: bed heads are made of lacquer or silk; beds provide modern comfort but they recall the design of the age-old kang; decorative ceramic panels are reminiscent of the shape of coal briquettes and antique Chinese wash-basin stands are completely at home in the luxuriously fitted bathrooms.
