Savor the Spice: Epicurean Stays in Chengdu, the City of Gastronomy
Chengdu, the first Asian city to be named a UNESCO City of Gastronomy, is a destination where flavor permeates the air. Our curated collection focuses on properties that are destinations in themselves, blending Sichuan's rich culinary heritage with modern luxury. Stay at the Guanyin Yiyuntai within the historic Kuanzhai Alleys for a taste of imperial cuisine, or immerse yourself in the fashion-forward Jinjiang District at The Temple House and Niccolo Chengdu. Whether you seek the high-altitude glamour of The Ritz-Carlton near Tianfu Square or the serene tea culture at The St. Regis, these hotels offer the perfect base for exploring the spicy, savory soul of Chengdu.
