Grand Hyatt Chengdu is the pick for visitors who want to be in the middle of the city’s shopping and dining district without giving up resort-style facilities. It stands on South Chunxi Road in the Jinjiang district, a short walk from the Chunxi pedestrian street, Chengdu IFS and Taikoo Li, and it has 370 rooms, which makes it one of the larger luxury properties in town. The hotel is built around the idea of a one-stop base: eight restaurants and two cafes, a shopping mall attached to the property, an indoor pool with a children’s pool, a hot tub, sauna and steam room, and a terrace and garden for a breath of air between outings. For a first visit it is hard to beat for convenience, since the metro, the main shopping streets and many of the best-known restaurants are all within easy reach on foot.
Location and getting around
The hotel is about a six-minute walk from Chunxi Road metro station, five minutes from the pedestrian street, around eight minutes from Chengdu IFS and about ten from Taikoo Li. Tianfu Square is an eleven-minute walk, and People’s Park is a short drive. The railway station and the airport are further out, so allow time for a taxi or the metro, and ask the hotel about transfers when you book.
Rooms and facilities
With 370 rooms, there is a range of room types, and the larger suites suit families and longer stays. Free in-room Wi-Fi and air conditioning come as standard. The leisure facilities include an indoor pool, a separate children’s pool, a hot tub, a sauna and a steam room, which is welcome after a day of sightseeing or a long flight. Free self-parking is available, and a concierge can help with the panda base, Leshan and other day trips.
Eating and drinking
With eight restaurants and two cafes on site, you can eat in a different place each night, and breakfast is a buffet at an extra charge unless your rate includes it. Check which restaurants are open when you arrive, since hours and menus change.
Who it suits
First-time visitors who want a central luxury base, families who value a pool and plenty of dining choice, and business travellers. Light sleepers should ask for a higher floor or a quieter side of the building, since the neighbourhood is lively.
