Chengdu Hotel | A Haven of Aesthetic Tranquility Hidden in a Century-Old Street

Staying true to Yijian·6500's consistent philosophy, the new Chengdu location is still nestled in the old alleys of the city center. This standalone property offers a peaceful retreat amidst the urban hustle, embodying the concept of "seclusion within the city." The century-old press buildings on Citang Street bear witness to the city's historical evolution, where past humanities now weave new stories in a contemporary setting. The grand entrance facing the street leads you down a pathway as if stepping into the depths of history. The front door, conveniently located behind People's Park, opens to a spacious square where the faint sounds of the bustling street contrast with the serene tranquility of the hidden courtyard—perfectly capturing the essence of an urban getaway: vibrant outside, peaceful inside. The lobby, though not expansive, features high ceilings that create an immediate sense of calm upon entry, shielding guests from the outside noise. The seated check-in process is accompanied by welcome tea and towels, with seamless and attentive service. The orientation tour shares the hotel's story, from the names of nearby historic buildings to the design of the central courtyard, the flowing gauze curtains in the corridors, and the origins of the room names. Unique brand touches include a Rubik's cube made from floor plans of the property, mini-bar tea water sourced from Emei Mountain's natural springs, and a thoughtfully prepared tote bag in the closet—everything a Chengdu traveler might need. The rooms echo the lively street outside with a serene ambiance, featuring a wabi-sabi-inspired dark palette. Materials like wood, stone, and linen create a warm yet sophisticated space. Each room spans over 50 square meters, with distinct zones for the living area, workspace, bathroom, walk-in closet, and bathtub—effectively a suite layout offering flexibility and comfort. Le Labo's Santal 22 amenities and complimentary mini-bar wine enhance the staycation vibe, making urban relaxation effortless. The hotel offers an all-inclusive service approach: an indulgent afternoon tea, locally inspired late-night snacks (a departure from traditional sweet soups), and breakfast options delivered to your room or enjoyed in the restaurant—all thoughtfully curated with local flavors. The gym and laundry facilities cater to the needs of urban travelers seeking both leisure and convenience. They say a great hotel is a destination in itself, and Chengdu's 6500 exemplifies the brand's evolution in reimagining modern hospitality. Perhaps it's these intimate, detail-oriented retreats that best meet the needs of today's travelers. If you're visiting Chengdu, don’t miss the chance to experience 6500's unique take on urban tranquility.
