Fairmont Chengdu

I had a pleasant stay at the Fairmont Chengdu. The hotel feels comfortable and well-maintained, offering a relaxing atmosphere throughout. The breakfast downstairs was quite good with a nice variety of options. Overall, it’s a solid choice for a comfortable stay in Chengdu.

Location: The MRT is right in front of the hotel. Taking it to the city center at IFS on Chunxi Street, you can transfer from Line 1 (blue) to Line 3 (pink) in about 25-30 minutes. Calling a Didi (ride-hailing service) costs around 20-40 yuan. To get to Global Center, it’s just one station away, and to the Twin Towers, it’s two stations. It’s a bit of a walk within the station, so using Didi is more convenient. Room: In my 1st stay, I started with a standard room but was upgraded to a Deluxe room with a view of nearby condos. On the 2nd stay, I reserved one night in a standard room and two nights in Gold Room. I initially received a Gold room on the 28th floor with the same condo view so I requested to switch to a front view room. I ended up with a corner room (1601) that had a better view. The bed was comfortable, with electric curtains and automatic toilet facilities. The rain shower in the bathroom had great water pressure. Breakfast: The offerings at the lounge were somewhat limited, but they had new-flavored TWG tea, like caramel, which was delightful. The breakfast on the first floor was more diverse, and the food quality on Friday seemed better than on other days. They featured delicious smoked salmon and beef soup, along with several tasty desserts. I recommend having breakfast downstairs and then going up to the lounge for tea. Afternoon Tea: Served as one set per room. Evening Cocktails: The Gold Lounge was quiet with few people around. They had a selection of four classic cocktails, which were decent in taste. The standout dish was the bak kut teh, the beef was tender, and delicious. They also served 4-6 hot dishes that were decent, though opinions on taste may vary. Welcome Drinks: On my first stay, I had to redeem welcome drinks at the Cube bar on the first floor. I tried to use it on the 44th floor, but the staff said that would only be an L-less option. On returning this time, I was advised by someone to use it there, and I met Derek, the restaurant manager, who allowed me to redeem cocktails. If you enjoy cocktails, the Cube bar offers better flavors. For those seeking a great view, head straight up to the 44th floor. Restaurants: * Miku: Located on the 44th floor, it had many delicious menu items (A+). There’s a 50% discount for two people. The sushi rolls had more rice than fish. The Burrata salad was delicious on the first day, so I returned for it again on the second day, but it didn’t taste as good. I was unsure if the chef had gone home by the late hour. The fried chicken wings had an off taste, while the pizza was uniquely good, with a thin, crispy crust unlike what I’ve had before. * Chang Yi: This Chinese restaurant on the 5th floor had an A+ buffet as well, with similar discounts resulting in a bill of around 300 yuan for two after discounts. I had a reservation but had to cancel due to timing issues. Upon check-out, the staff provided an amenity kits. I asked if it was because I booked a Gold room or what. The staff said it was a "special gift for you." I thought to myself that it must be because I booked a Gold room. Summary: Fairmont Chengdu is located in a new area of the city, making it easy to access shopping in the downtown area. Although the carpets can make the rooms seem dated, they are still clean and well-maintained. The service is attentive and excellent. I highly recommend this hotel for anyone traveling to Chengdu.

This was a fantastic experience from start to finish. This was our first trip to China and We arrived very early in the morning from New Zealand, the staff provided us a room to refresh in while our room was made ready. From a dining perspective, We only had breakfast at the hotel, and the food was excellent. There was a wide selection of international and local cuisine. Our room was a one bedroom suite, and was incredible with views of the high tech district buildings. All amenities were high quality and we made use of the fitness centre and pool. The concierge staff were very helpful and recommended several places to visit, including ordering the taxi to the destination and providing a card to show to taxi drivers to get back to the hotel or other tourist destinations. One of the staff James Zhan was especially helpful and friendly and made the stay even more memorable. I would highly recommend this hotel to anyone wishing to visit Chengdu.

The Fairmont Chengdu is simply my favorite hotel!! Definitely the best in Chengdu. I would recommend it to anyone on business or even on holidays. The level of comfort and warmth of their hospitality is outstanding!! I am always happy to stay at Fairmont during my frequent visits... They deserve more than a 5 star rating...
