Our promise to you is a complete hospitality experience - a telling blend, a delicious balance of all that is good about food, drink, accommodation and comfort, skilfully and delicately fused by and nurtured by that most important factor, the personal touch. Creating synergy. A delicate yet very potent mix which is our hallmark.

With a prestige location on Guloudong Dajie, Perfect Inn places residents in the heart of one of Beijing’s major business, shopping and entertainment districts.

Hotel Everland is a project by Swiss artist-duo L/B (Sabina Lang and Daniel Baumann). L/B are known for their Installations that deal with architecture and space and invite the viewer to get involved and become part of the artwork.
Everland is a Hotel with only one room including a bathroom, a king-size bed and a lounge. The bounteous dimensioned room represents the subjective dream of a hotel: the architecture, the playful details, as well as the request to steal the golden embroidered bath towels. All Everland guests are partaking in the project.
Also the concept for operating the hotel was defined by the artists. All facets are important constituents of the artistic idea: The room can be booked for one night only, the mini-bar is fully stocked and included in the price, breakfast is delivered to the door and a record collection stands at ones disposal.
