[AsiaAustralia] Location
Boasting a prime location in the alleys of Taikoo Li Chengdu, adjacent to the 1,600-year-old Daci Temple, you won’t need to worry about dining, shopping 🛍️, or entertainment. It’s just a 3-minute walk to Chunxi Road and Taikoo Li, and a 35-minute drive from Chengdu Airport ✈️.
🌸 Hotel Design
The Temple House is the fifth hotel developed by Swire Hotels in Asia and the third under The House Collective brand. Designed by a renowned British firm, it preserves original Qing Dynasty structures while transforming the interior into a Chinese courtyard style. The transition from traditional architecture to two "L"-shaped buildings incorporates elements like bamboo forests and terraced fields, creating a stark contrast to the bustling Taikoo Li.
🚪 Room Amenities
Rooms are spacious, starting from 60 sqm, with a rational and comfortable layout. The minimalist yet luxurious design features black and white tones paired with wooden furniture. Most rooms have floor-to-ceiling windows, and some include terraces overlooking the lively Taikoo Li. The bedding is soft and skin-friendly for a restful sleep. Bathrooms are separate, stocked with high-end Bamford scents and sleep sprays for a relaxing post-bath slumber. Thoughtful details abound, and the mini-bar items are complimentary. Upon arrival, guests receive a spicy Chengdu-style dessert 🍰.
🍝 Dining Options
The hotel’s restaurants include The Temple Café (an all-day French bistro), TIVANO (Italian), and AvroKO, offering diverse cuisines. Notably, Mi Xun Teahouse 🍵, a four-time Michelin-starred venue, collaborates with WWF to present a vegetarian set menu—absolutely delicious! Breakfast 🥪 is served from 7-11 AM, à la carte with a wide selection.
🏊🏻♀️ Highlight Facilities
The spa, located behind the teahouse, features nine treatment rooms with diverse therapies. The spa retains the original beams of the historic building, blending modern amenities with natural wooden structures for a uniquely soothing experience.
❤️ Additionally, the hotel houses two restaurants (Italian Tivano and Chinese The Temple Café) and Jing Bar, serving exquisite dishes and drinks. The interiors are adorned with local cultural artifacts, offering a feast for the senses. The Temple House in Taikoo Li Chengdu is your ideal choice for luxury and cultural immersion.
