China never ceases to amaze us, as dream hotels are beginning to spring up all over the country. A 30-minute drive from Shuangliu International Airport, Diaoyutai Boutique Hotel It stands out as a welcome retreat from the hustle and bustle of the city. We chose it not only because it is undoubtedly one of those hotels that will continue to be talked about for a long time to come, but also—and above all—for its superb interior design.
After a six-year construction project led by a French architect, the hotel has opened its doors and now welcomes visitors from around the world: consisting of two buildings, the Diaoyutai Boutique Hotel Chengdu has 60 rooms and is located in the heart of the historic district.
Just a few months after opening, the Diaoyutai Boutique Hotel Chengdu had already established itself as a totally trendy spot where everyone wanted to be seen. The lobby’s impressive, massive, ultra-stylish birdcages are the talk of the town. The furnishings combine clean lines with colors and textures that invite comfort and relaxation. The hotel thus attracts a clientele that appreciates being pampered: a restaurant, private lounges, a French patisserie… it has it all.
One thing you’re sure to love during your stay at the Diaoyutai Boutique Hotel Chengdu is the chance to enjoy a haven of comfort, tranquility, and elegance from the moment you step into your suite. Admire the attention to detail and let yourself be enchanted by the luxurious materials. Surrounded by fabrics featuring Chinese motifs and iroko wood, you’ll lose track of time as you revel in a warm, deliciously scented bath.
In a nutshell
- A hotel located a 30-minute drive from Shuangliu International Airport.
- A small number of rooms for a cozy stay.
- A super-trendy and cozy decor.
Dining: Chen Mapo Tofu (Luomashi)
