Courtyard 7 has historically been home to imperial families, social celebrities, and high ranking officials. Three years of restoration recreated the romantic past of the area: The decorated gates, main houses, wing-rooms, side rooms, and rear houses are not only historically accurate, but the property has also incorporated an eco-friendly design complete with advanced geothermal heating and solar energy.
Within walking distance of the Forbidden City, the Shi Jia House is a courtyard boutique hotel which traditionally housed many of China's prominent literary families. Past and present stand side-by-side here...At night, walk around lantern-lit streets, experience the Imperial Palace and Royal River as well as the daily life of ordinary Beijingers. Come and enjoy yourself at this tranquil respite away from the noisy surroundings of Beijing and experience the charm of the ever-changing millennium city.
