Four Seasons is one of the most luxurious hotel brands in the world, and it is natural to ask the question, is there a Four Seasons in Chengdu? After all, there are two Four Seasons hotels in Shanghai, so surely there must be a Four Seasons in Chengdu?
Wherever you are in the world, Four Seasons hotels are consistently one of the best hotels in that city or resort. There isn’t a Four Seasons loyalty program, so you will never be able to book a free stay by racking up and redeeming points, or by collecting points on your credit card and spending them at a Four Seasons hotel. It can’t be done. But you can get discounts at Four Seasons hotels and benefit from special rewards at Four Seasons hotels for no extra cost by booking your next stay via our luxury travel concierge.
Is There A Four Seasons in Chengdu?
The answer is no. There is not a Four Seasons in Chengdu, which is a real shame. Although they are not a cheap brand of hotel to stay in, their reliably expensive room rates mean that their rooms are reliably excellent, and a Four Seasons hotel would be a blissfully peaceful escape.
If you want to stay in Chengdu, you cannot stay at a Four Seasons hotel. Don’t be put off. There are some beautiful alternative and similarly luxurious hotels that you can book into.
Where Should I Stay?
We adore Temple House Hotel Chengdu (pictured above), which is a luxury boutique-style hotel in Chengdu near the Taikoo Li shopping district and within walking distance of designer stores and Chengdu’s best noodle shops and teahouses.
A bamboo-lined archway leads into the Qing Dynasty courtyard building that serves as the entrance to The Temple House. This beautifully renovated courtyard building is part of a conservation effort surrounding the 1,000-year-old Daci Temple. The old building looks particularly stunning at night, lit up and dotted with vegetation. You are stepping back in time whilst remaining in a chic and luxury environment.
In fact, all the communal rooms come alive at night, helped by the decor, which fuses traditional architectural elements with a decidedly urban mix of white stone, black timber, and other natural materials. Jing’s cocktail bar is a Jazz Age-inspired drinking den. Its luxe decor, live DJs, and inventive drinks infused with Sichuan influences set the vibe. Seating is in booths, on tall bar stools, and on the outdoor terrace.
The formal Tivano restaurant is the ideal place to enjoy Italian cuisine. It offers similar modern and vibrant designs with lots of woods, leathers, booths, and floor-to-ceiling windows looking out onto the central courtyard. Temple all-day bistro serves up fresh seasonal dishes on its cross-cultural menu of local favorites and Western classics. Dine-in or grab-and-go. Finally, the tranquil, traditional teahouse serves rejuvenating Chinese teas and a vegetarian menu of regional Sichuan cuisine in a Qing Dynasty courtyard home.
Rooms and apartments can be found in two contemporary blocks designed to evoke stepped rice terraces and local Shu embroidery. Their Asian, minimalist decor contrasts nicely with the richer and more detailed communal areas. Our favorite rooms are the courtyard suites, which open onto a private garden, as does the Mi Xun Spa, with its stunning pool lit by sculptured skylights.
