Hotels Own Introduction
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.
