5-Star Hotels in Sichuan, China

This time in Chengdu, I chose the City Celebrity Hotel as my base and stayed for three consecutive nights. The hotel is right by Tianfu Square, just a few minutes' walk to Tianfu Square subway station. Whether it's strolling through People's Park to visit the Hemming Teahouse, taking a leisurely walk to Kuanzhai Alley, or rushing to Xipu for the high-speed train to Mount Qingcheng, the entire route is smooth, without needing to take a single extra step. The room was quiet and spacious; as soon as I opened the door, a sense of calm filled the space. The thoughtful touches of an old-brand five-star hotel are hidden in the details. Located in the heart of the city center, it's free from the hustle and bustle, yet it perfectly captures the vibrant atmosphere of Chengdu. A large part of the relaxed feeling of this trip came from this hotel.

My stay at Hyatt Centric The Ring Chengdu was incredibly satisfying! The room was clean and new, the bedding was very comfortable, and the high-floor window offered a great view. The hotel is connected to The Ring shopping mall downstairs, making it very convenient for getting around and shopping. The staff, especially Mauve, provided attentive and thoughtful service. Overall, the experience exceeded my expectations, and I will definitely choose Hyatt Centric The Ring Chengdu again next time I visit Chengdu.

The hotel was a pleasant surprise during our trip; the kids and our dog were very happy with it, as it had a large bathtub and a small garden. Since we were leaving very early the next day, our butler, Jiqing, thoughtfully packed breakfast and provided a lot of information on sightseeing and dining options. Leshan is a treasure trove of a city; besides the Giant Buddha, there are many other fun places to visit. I would definitely choose to cycle solo for a thousand miles again next time.

So glad we chose this forest hotel; it really added a unique touch to our trip. It's located deep inside Zhongzhagou Valley, which is already stunning. If you're not in a rush to get to Jiuzhaigou, you could easily spend a few extra days here. There's even a hiking trail behind the hotel if you're into that. We were incredibly lucky and spotted wild rabbits on the lawn in the afternoon, evening, and early morning! The hotel also offers dining, and there are ******* restaurants in the village. However, you'll find more options down the mountain, which is only about a fifteen-minute drive away. We had to leave after breakfast to head to Jiuzhaigou, but we definitely could have stayed another day to explore the surrounding scenery.

This is an ideal hot spring resort for families with kids during the summer. There are many free children's activities, keeping the little ones entertained all day. The hotel's garden and lake views create a wonderful ambiance, and the new Asian-style architecture is quiet and elegant, perfect for photos. Relying on the natural radon hot springs of Baima Yongquan, there's a rich variety of public hot spring pools. If you stay in a villa, you get a private hot spring, ensuring maximum privacy. The rooms are clean and comfortable, the service is attentive and responsive, and the breakfast selection is plentiful. Away from the hustle and bustle of the city, soaking in the springs and strolling around is incredibly relaxing. It's definitely my top choice for a short getaway and has already made it onto my 'revisit' list!

During my trip to Jiuzhaigou, I stayed at a few different guesthouses and hotels, and Conrad was one of them. As an established hotel, their service standards are consistently high – everything felt well-organized and reassuring. It happened to be my child's birthday during our stay, and when I mentioned it to the front desk during check-in, they immediately gave a teddy bear to my child and later sent a small cake to our room. My child was absolutely delighted! I wasn't too fond of the local food, so one evening we all went to Hilton for their buffet. I heard they're part of the same group, so getting there was easy – we just took the shuttle bus. At the hotel's cultural and creative store, I bought some incredibly delicate prayer wheel charms for only 15RMB each. I bought all the ones they had to bring back as gifts for my family. The hotel room also had a fireplace, and turning it on at night created such a cozy atmosphere. The bedding was incredibly comfortable; I fell asleep very quickly in bed, which greatly eased my anxiety and fatigue from usually having trouble sleeping in unfamiliar beds.

The hotel is perfectly located, with everything within walking distance: the main pedestrian street, the famous bridge, and the metro. It has all the necessary amenities, including a washing machine, iron, microwave, and cutlery. The only downside was that my son and I developed allergic rhinitis, possibly due to the air conditioning or mold in the shower. The room cleaning was also mediocre.

I stayed here for one night and checked out today. The room facilities are pretty good, very clean, and the environment is also great. The hotel is right next to Chunxi Road, so it's super convenient for shopping and dining. There are many night markets nearby, and no matter which direction you go, you'll find plenty of delicious food spots. The lobby on the first floor has a particularly pleasant fragrance, and as soon as you walk in, you'll see four robots, lining up at night to deliver takeaways. My reservation even came with a craft beer, which was nice for a nightcap – though it was just one, it was super big, enough to share with a friend. There's a pool table on the first floor and a laundry room on the 28th floor, which is very convenient for travelers to wash clothes, and you can even dry them and take them with you the same day. The hotel provides free laundry detergent, so you don't need to spend money. The mini-fridge in the room also has drinks, with four free bottles. There's a Bluetooth speaker next to the bedside table for playing music. I really have to praise the mattress – it's the most comfortable mattress I've ever slept on, not too soft, not too hard, with great support. The pillows are also very soft, just how I like them, though we also requested a latex pillow, which was also very good. I slept very soundly. There isn't much of a view during the day, but the night view is beautiful. The room size is also decent; it's a bit smaller compared to some hotels I've stayed in before, but most hotels in the city center have similar sizes, and larger rooms usually cost more. Breakfast starts at 7:00 AM on the 45th floor. It would be even better if it started a bit earlier, like 6:30 AM, so we could eat earlier if we're in a hurry to go to the Panda Base. The breakfast selection is alright, pretty standard – not amazing but enough to eat and fill you up. The hotel's overall decor style is very unique, and the restaurant decor has a great vibe. The room lighting isn't super bright, but I personally found it quite nice. The lobby on the first floor also has a very high-end feel, which is to be expected since it's a newly opened hotel. The price of over 600 RMB for a city center location is quite fair.

Choosing the right accommodation truly enhances the travel experience, especially when visiting Jiuzhaigou.麗呈別院·四季漫居 (Li Cheng Bie Yuan · Si Ji Man Ju) was a pleasant surprise, primarily due to its unbeatable location. The hotel is right next to the Tourist Center, just a five-minute walk to the park entrance. This means no waking up early to catch a shuttle bus, and traffic jams during peak season won't affect you at all. After a tiring day exploring the scenic area, you can simply walk straight back to the hotel, which is particularly convenient for families. The hotel itself boasts a tranquil Zen-inspired courtyard style, offering a peaceful environment. The room facilities are very new, with smart home controls throughout, including floor heating, air conditioning, and a smart toilet. Given the significant temperature difference between day and night at high altitude, it was wonderfully warm and comfortable at night. The bedding is soft, and the bathroom features a wet and dry separation. The complimentary welcome snacks were a thoughtful touch. The front desk service was attentive and meticulous. They proactively provided tips for exploring the scenic area, and it was a nice bonus to find ice and coffee available at the front desk. Although the breakfast was simple, it was a self-service buffet with a good variety, and the soy milk was especially delicious. There's a large parking lot at the entrance, making parking very convenient. This hotel is highly recommended as the top choice when visiting Jiuzhaigou.

The Xishang Hotel offers an amazing experience with attentive and prompt butler service. The food is made with fresh local ingredients and tastes authentic and delicious. The private hot spring is secluded and quiet, and the environment is tranquil and a great escape from the summer heat. Overall, the stay was very comfortable and I highly recommend it.
