Hotels Own Introduction
Upper House Chengdu honors Chengdu’s rich history while embracing modern design and art. Tucked away in the laneways of Taikoo Li Chengdu, the hotel sits on former temple grounds, offering 100 intimate rooms, 42 serviced apartments, heritage courtyards, landscaped terraces, and a subterranean oasis. It’s an urban sanctuary full of surprises.
Rooted in centuries of tradition, Upper House welcomes guests through Bitieshi, a meticulously restored Qing Dynasty building. Once home to scholars and translators, it now houses a library and contemporary art collection, blending the old with the new.
The hotel’s dining experiences are bold and flavorful, with a Sichuan twist. Our restaurants and bars present a vibrant mix of authentic Italian, Vietnamese, and regional flavors, adding a fresh dimension to Chengdu’s famously fiery culinary scene.
At Upper House, wellness is central to the experience. Life in Chengdu unfolds at a slower, more thoughtful pace, reflected in Mi Xun Spa’s offerings. Traditional Chinese medicine meets Western therapies in tea-inspired treatments, while the turquoise indoor pool and modern gym offer rejuvenating escapes beneath sculptural skylights.
