The St. Regis Chengdu
Occupying prime position in the city’s central business district, The St. Regis Chengdu is a go-to destination for discerning visitors and locals. Step through the steel-and-glass façade into the marble-clad lobby and enter an oasis of unfettered luxury and sophistication.
Timeless style meets elegant opulence at every turn. This is a world of high-end materials and dramatic glass chandeliers. And this ambiance extends to the rooms. These spacious retreats are regally dressed in soothing tones and plush furnishings that offer sly nods to art deco aesthetics. Attention to detail is everywhere, from the TVs cleverly concealed in desks to the quality bath amenities and linens.
Foodies will delight in six culinary offerings, each providing carefully curated menus and craft mixology. But even in Chengdu, few restaurants and bars also elevate the experience with bespoke details, world-class art and sweeping skyline panoramas.
- Service is the standout feature, and
staff goes above and beyond to ensure you’re consistently happy. The concierge
can manage just about any request, while the signature St. Regis Butler Service
does everything from pressing your clothes to packing your luggage.
- The property’s Iridium Spa is a
treat for all the senses, featuring lashings of silver, pink and purple;
dry-to-wet massage tables; and high-tech sensory chaise lounges. Treatments
combine the best of Chinese and Western healing traditions, none more so than
the signature Sichuan Tea Bathing Ritual.
- There’s nothing like a customized
fine-dining experience, and Yun Fu certainly delivers. Create bespoke
Sichuan-inspired menus, design the room layout, then enjoy with sophisticated
European aesthetics and skyline views through floor-to-ceiling windows.
- At Decanter, hop onto a barstool
at the oversized table that takes center stage and sip the spicy Chuan Mary
surrounded by a brilliant modern mural by Brazilian artist Chris Buissa.
- There are two pools, but the
heated indoor one is usually less busy. It boasts skyline panoramas, colored
lighting, private dining and is very Instagrammable.
- All accommodations offer views of
the city or Tianfu Square, but for the absolute best vistas, book a corner room
on a high floor.
- Nestled in Chengdu’s business
district, the luxury hotel understandably gets busy when events like the China
Food and Drinks Fair or Chengdu Motor Show are in town. Expect higher
occupancy, longer waits and strict check-in/checkout times.
- If you need to remain connected
while you’re out and about in Chengdu, buy a local SIM card for your phone from
the concierge or butler in the lobby.
- Perched at the top of the Chengdu hotel,
Vantage XXVII affords spectacular city panoramas, lively happy hours and craft
cocktails. But the seasonal spot is only open May to October.
- Chengdu’s main shopping areas — like
Chunxi Road — are within walking distance from the St. Regis. If you’re
exploring further afield, take the metro (the nearest stop is just a 10-minute
walk away) or the hotel can arrange a taxi.
- Rooms are as technologically
advanced as they are luxurious. Think automated curtains, mechanized toilets by
Toto and Bose surround sound.
- Bathrooms are equally plush,
boasting heated floors, deep soaking tubs and Remède amenities.
- Turndown service is a treat. Take
the certificate to the shop in the lobby to retrieve your gift.
- Starting at 700 square feet, guest
rooms and suites are among the biggest in Chengdu, and floor-to-ceiling windows
ensure the space never feels stuffy.
- Comfort is key, so rooms are outfitted
with thick carpets, lush robes and cloud-like Simmons mattresses.
- The Chengdu hotel has every
provision necessary for its littlest guests, from pint-sized toiletries and
robes to toys, cribs and strollers.
- Head for Social to keep kids
entertained during meals. The bright buffet-style restaurant provides plenty of
stimulation for inquisitive little minds and the special children’s menu by chef
Nelson Ong features fun, easy dishes for young palates.
- The concierge can organize unique
experiences like Colorful Day at Wide & Narrow Alleys, where the whole
family can explore Ming and Qing dynasty architecture, learn the art of Sichuan
opera face-painting and take in a show at a traditional teahouse.
- Should mom and dad need a respite, The St. Regis Chengdu
has a team of trained nannies and babysitters on hand to keep kids safe and
entertained.
