House Chengdu
Qing Dynasty meets contemporary minimalism. Heritage stone courtyards as the frame; clean-lined, locally textile-inflected interiors inside. Strong tea culture and wellness ethos throughout — this is very much a Chengdu hotel, not a generic luxury chain property.

Why It Matters
The only hotel in Chengdu with a Michelin-starred vegetarian teahouse that also holds the city's first-ever Michelin Green Star. Designed by Make Architects. Part of Swire Hotels' The House Collective alongside Upper House Hong Kong and Upper House Shanghai. Appeared on the 2020 Condé Nast Traveler Gold List and 2021 Travel + Leisure 500. The Mi Xun Spa occupies a 900 sqm Qing Dynasty courtyard — treatments happen in 11 suites including VIP and couples options. Even the entry-level Studio 60 starts at a generous 63 sqm.
Upper House Chengdu sits inside a restored Qing Dynasty courtyard complex in Chengdu's Jinjiang district, right next to the 1,600-year-old Daci Temple. You enter through the Bitieshi Pavilion — a meticulously preserved heritage building that once housed imperial scholars and translators — and step into a calm that feels completely at odds with the Taikoo Li boutiques just outside. The two contemporary hotel towers, designed by Make Architects to evoke Sichuan's stepped rice terraces and Shu embroidery, house 100 rooms and 42 serviced apartments. What actually sets this place apart: the on-site Mi Xun Teahouse holds a Michelin star plus the first Michelin Green Star ever awarded in Chengdu, making this one of China's more serious hotel dining stories.
