By Updated

The short answer: start with The Ritz-Carlton, Chengdu, The St. Regis Chengdu and The Temple House. This guide profiles 60+ hotels and places to stay in Chengdu, with prices, timing, and the practical notes that decide whether each one earns a place in your plan.

Chengdu is the capital of Sichuan Province in southwestern China, a city of over 20 million people famous as the global home of giant panda conservation, the birthplace of fiery Sichuanese cuisine and mala hotpot, and a relaxed teahouse culture that stands in contrast to China's faster-paced coastal metropolises. Landmarks range from the Chengdu Research Base of Giant Panda Breeding to the historic Kuanzhai Alleys and Jinli Ancient Street beside the Wuhou Shrine.
