Shangri-La Chengdu
Sichuan
On the banks of the Jinjiang River, Shangri-La Chengdu gives a central city stay a strong connection to the water. Its 36-storey tower contains 593 rooms and suites, with views across Chengdu or towards the river. Contemporary interiors keep the accommodation calm against the busy urban setting. The river also shapes the public spaces. Floor-to-ceiling windows in the Lobby Lounge bring the waterfront into view, while Shang Palace serves Sichuan and Cantonese cooking overlooking the Jinjiang River Bridge. Its menu ranges from rice-wine shrimp to Sichuan pepper crispy squab. For visitors who want to explore Chengdu while returning to a substantial city hotel, the combination of downtown position, river outlook and regional dining gives the property a clear sense of place.
