GREEN T. HOUSE Voted Best Spa Design
The imperial-style "lifestyle pavilion' on the outskirts of Beijing was honoured for its new Bath House Residence, inspired by a Tang dynasty emperor's bathhouse.

It is uniquely distinguished by its green tea infused pampering, wellness and bathing rituals twinned with Chinese music and art, ancient Chinese wisdom and contemporary aesthetics. Complementing the unique, serene retreat is an indulgent onsen-style rooftop hot tub.

Exotic overnight 'Signature Living Experiences' immerse guests in "a world of body, mind and soul, senses and sensuality" – with the residence sleeping couples in traditional, curtained four-poster "emperor's beds", as well as accommodating small groups for 'high end slumber parties' in loft bedrooms.

GREEN T. HOUSE Living's Bath House Residence was previously voted 'Spa Design of the Year' and 'Day Spa of the Year' in the 2009 AsiaSpa Awards.

The pavilion's founder JinR said: "It is designed for guests to take time out to recharge, since the most beautiful journey to be had is the one of our inner travels, where the journey itself is its own reward."

The international design, fashion and lifestyle magazine Wallpaper* honoured GREEN T. HOUSE Living in its annual salute to "brave and beautiful designs, bright ideas, movements and creative shakes from around the world".

This year's awards feature a Who's Who of global design excellence, including Domestic Designs, Retreats, Fashion and Cities, won by New York.

GREEN T. HOUSE Living immerses guests in Chinese culture and cuisine by uniquely combining wellness with a teahouse, restaurant, gallery, cultural events space and inspiring meeting place.

Dining features signature "New China T. Cuisine", a tea inspired cuisine blending fresh and natural ingredients with time-honored indigenous cooking techniques from across the regions of China.

It is also renowned for chic dining, cutting-edge music performances, art exhibits, tea presentations and ceremonies, and creative events – attracting an eclectic mix of artists, celebrities and prominent local and international guests.
