Upper House Chengdu
Jinjiang, China
A restored courtyard entrance gives way to a quietly modern hotel beside Taikoo Li. Upper House Chengdu combines dark timber, pale rooms and contemporary glass buildings, with an indoor pool and Mi Xun spa for time away from the shops. Its restaurants make staying in worthwhile: Mi Xun Teahouse serves vegetarian Sichuan cooking, while Tivano turns to Italy. Choose it for a central base with a distinct architectural identity.
