7. Renaissance Chengdu Hotel
Update: This hotel now appears to be closed.
The Renaissance Chengdu Hotel enjoys incredible city views from its 29th-floor bar and offers the Wanli Restaurant, serving some of the finest Cantonese and Sichuan dishes in town. If you’re visiting on business or pleasure, there are seven club floors that give you access to their club lounge, but this is not one of our top picks because it is not desperately luxurious and more of a business hotel. Plus, there have been reports of service being subpar.
