Our Picks
6 hotels · Updated February 2026
Jinjiang
Positioned beside the Jin River with striking architecture referencing Sichuan's traditional brocade, Wanda Reign brings ESPA's wellness programming and an indoor-outdoor pool complex to Chengdu's hotel scene. The Bai Yi Cai restaurant offers the most serious tasting-menu take on Chengdu cuisine in a luxury setting.
Jinjiang
Tony Chi's design evokes a celestial garden — layers of jade, ink and gold suspended in one of Chengdu's most architecturally ambitious towers. The Rosewood Spa spans six floors and the Michelin-starred Yù restaurant channels traditional Sichuan flavour with uncommon refinement. A strong argument for Chengdu as a genuine luxury destination.
Jinjiang
Shangri-La's reliable luxury formula — enormous rooms, impeccable service, and a spa that reliably delivers — performed to its full potential in Chengdu. The position beside Nirengang Bridge makes it convenient for both business and leisure, and the Shangri-La Garden is one of the city's great al fresco dining venues.
Taikoo Li
Wrapped around a restored Ming Dynasty temple complex in the heart of Taikoo Li, The Temple House is Chengdu's most atmospheric boutique option. Bamboo screens, water courts, and a rooftop pool overlook the ancient eaves, while the Jing Bar has become one of the city's definitive cocktail addresses.
Jinjiang
All-white French elegance meets Sichuan warmth in Sofitel's Chengdu flagship — generous rooms, an excellent buffet breakfast known across the city, and a position on the Jin River that puts Chunxi Road shopping and the historic lane districts within easy reach.
Tianfu
The flagship of Marco Polo's premium brand occupies an upper tier of the IFS tower — floor-to-ceiling glass, bespoke furniture in warm natural materials, and an outdoor infinity pool cantilevered above the city. Below, the IFS luxury mall connects directly; above, the views extend on clear days to snow-capped peaks of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau.
