Upper House Chengdu
Beside Daci Temple and Taikoo Li, Upper House Chengdu blends contemporary rooms with restored heritage courtyards, a hidden spa and one of the city’s most distinctive collections of restaurants and bars.
Upper House Chengdu occupies a rare central site in Jinjiang District, tucked beside Daci Temple and Taikoo Li. The property mixes modern hotel buildings with preserved stone walls and historic courtyards, giving it a stronger sense of place than most contemporary luxury hotels in the city.
Rooms begin at generous dimensions, with studios designed around calm materials, large bathrooms and understated residential comfort. Larger suites and apartments add kitchens, terraces and family layouts, while the heritage courtyard suites shift the experience toward something more private.
Wellness centers on Mi Xun Spa, hidden within a heritage courtyard, alongside a gym, yoga programming and quiet spaces. The overall tone is deliberately low-key, using the architecture and courtyards to create separation from the busy shopping streets just outside.
Food and drink are a major strength. Mi Xun Teahouse serves Michelin-recognized vegetarian Sichuan cooking in a Qing Dynasty courtyard, Tivano handles Italian dishes, The Temple Café works as an all-day bistro, and Jing becomes a retro-glam cocktail hideaway after dark.
Upper House Chengdu is best for travelers who want a central location without the anonymous feel of a large business hotel. Its strongest quality is the contrast between contemporary rooms, historic fabric and a dining program that feels deeply connected to Chengdu.
