The Temple House

Style. Modern and sleek yet ancient by Make Architects Setting. I was last at this hotel 11 years ago with my sister, and it is still just as beautiful. Explore. Spiritual Qingcheng Mountain, panda centers, swanky Taikoo Li, and heritage Kuan Zhai Alley. Rooms. 100 zen rooms and suites. Room 600 on the first night & 702 2nd night were spacious, crisp, clean, and had lots of goodies to eat, drink, and bring home. Other thoughtful little touches include the face masks, lint rollers, etc. At the hotel. This time, I arrived close to midnight through their Qing Dynasty stone gate with a wooden courtyard building featuring lattice details lit by dramatic red lanterns. Then, you emerge into the rest of the hotel, which is dotted with contemporary art. Service is excellent, as the concierge (Dennis) is available on WeChat. Food & drinks Had an excellent lunch & dinner at the plant-based Mi Xun Tea House. Prices. $351 per night Rating. 5/5

My daughter and I had a wonderful stay at this exceptionally beautiful hotel. With a renovated section housing the entrance, bar, and restaurants, and a new, modern wing featuring guest rooms, outdoor facilities, a pool, and a fitness center, it’s one of the most beautiful hotels I’ve ever visited. We were upgraded to the Temple Suite (90 m²). It was beautiful, modern, and equipped with all the amenities, such as charging cables, etc. The staff was extremely friendly and helpful. When we arrived late for breakfast after a sporting event, they went out of their way to prepare something special for us. The hotel’s location in Chengdu couldn’t be better.

One of the most unique luxury hotel experiences I’ve had in China. Located beside Daci Temple and directly connected to Taikoo Li, Upper House Chengdu beautifully blends a restored Qing Dynasty courtyard with striking contemporary architecture. The contrast between heritage and modernity is what makes this property so memorable. The Temple Suite felt more like a refined private residence than a hotel suite, featuring a spacious living room, warm timber finishes, thoughtful design details, and a beautiful oval bathtub that quickly became my favorite spot in the room. What truly sets Upper House Chengdu apart is how it goes beyond being simply a design hotel. During my stay, I participated in the House of Healing wellness retreat, including mindful yoga, breathwork sessions, skincare treatments, and a wellness-focused brunch. Combined with the peaceful atmosphere of Mi Xun Spa, the entire experience felt restorative and intentional. The location is perfect, the service is polished yet genuinely warm, and every detail feels thoughtfully curated. Easily one of my favorite stays in Chengdu and a property I would gladly return to.

We visited Chengdu and stayed at Niccolo Hotel, but after spending so much time at Upper House Chengdu, we genuinely regretted not booking our stay there instead. During our trip, we visited all of the restaurants and the bar at Upper House Chengdu, and every experience was exceptional. From The Temple Café to Tivano, Mi Xun Teahouse, and Jing, each venue had its own personality, atmosphere, and level of refinement. The food was beautifully presented, the service was warm and polished, and the overall feeling was exactly what you hope for when visiting a luxury hotel in Chengdu. A special mention must go to Alex, who made our experience truly memorable. He took the time to introduce each menu in detail, explained the concepts behind the different restaurants, helped us arrange reservations, and made everything feel effortless. Beyond the hotel itself, he also recommended local spots around Chengdu, which made our trip feel much more personal and authentic. What impressed us most was the genuine hospitality. Alex even added our WhatsApp so he could help us arrange a hotel booking for our next visit to Chengdu. That level of care and follow-up is rare, and it made us feel completely looked after even though we were not staying in the hotel this time. Upper House Chengdu is elegant, calm, beautifully designed, and full of character. The restaurants and bar alone are worth visiting, but after this experience, we already know that on our next Chengdu trip, we will stay at Upper House Chengdu. Highly recommended.
