Character and identity
Set within a thousand-year-old monastery complex that still houses the active Daci Temple, Upper House Chengdu pairs deep historical context with a thoroughly contemporary build. Two glass towers by London architects Make hold 142 rooms, suites and residences, threaded with brick and bronze references to local woven crafts; the entrance is a restored century-old scholars' building with a tree-shaded courtyard and library. Rooms start at a generous 678 square feet in a pared-back white, black and taupe palette. Mi Xun Spa occupies a Qing-era courtyard, and dining runs from vegetarian at the Teahouse to Italian at Tivano, with Jing Bar handling cocktails.
Who's it for
Best for:
Design-literate couples and solo travellers who want a calm, architecturally serious base in Chengdu, with easy access to Sichuan culture (calligraphy classes at the Teahouse, the temple next door) and a strong in-house food and bar programme. The sky-lit indoor pool, spa courtyard and barbershop reward guests who plan to linger on property.
Should look elsewhere:
Families wanting kids' programming, beach-and-resort travellers, and anyone hoping for headline Sichuan fine dining inside the hotel itself. The minimalist white-on-white aesthetic will feel austere to guests who prefer warmer, more ornamented luxury interiors.
Bottom line
What sets this place apart is the collision of a working millennium-old monastery setting with some of the most confident contemporary hotel design in China, anchored by unusually large rooms. Book it if you value architecture, quiet and a strong spa over buzzy nightlife; the entry-level rooms are already vast, so reserve up only if you want a residence-style layout.
