Sichuan’s capital has a rich heritage dating back at least 2,300 years, but it’s the modern face of this ancient city that is reflected in Waldorf Astoria Chengdu

Situated in the new financial district of the city’s Hi-Tech Zone, Waldorf Astoria Chengdu mixes, seamlessly, classic elegance and modern grandeur with inspirational environments and modern luxuries.

You couldn’t be better situated for gazing out over this ever-changing city than from the comfort of this crown jewel, which stands at 52 stories.

The hotel’s stature provides guests with unrivaled views of the city from every guest room, restaurant and lounge, not to mention the 25-meter indoor pool on the 48th floor.

To observe the city in all its glory, take the elevator up to the European-style Brasserie 99, which has floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the city.

Further dining options boast impressive vistas, including the Cantonese Infinite Luck restaurant and casual American-style Limited Edition Grill.

In keeping with its surroundings, the hotel’s contemporary event space – comprising five meeting rooms and a grand ballroom – is equipped with state-of-the-art technology for a whole range of business needs, with an adjoining garden space that provides patrons with the space to unwind between seminars.

When it’s time to retire, Waldorf Astoria Chengdu’s range of guestrooms and suites round off an unforgettable stay.

Characterized by polished dark wood, art deco details, hand-laid pearl-shell mosaics and elements of Chengdu culture, it may be hard to tear yourself away from the spacious, tranquil rooms.

Add to this Waldorf Astoria Hotels & Resorts’ legendary service, with a Personal Concierge to ensure your every request is met, and travelers will think twice about departing this gateway city.
